AN UNLIKELY HOTSPOT/

I got sore eyes today so I spent a good part of my weekend in a hospital. It wasn’t half bad. Maybe, it’s because I have been dying to get my hands on the 2nd season of Grey’s Anatomy (a show about the complicated love lives of surgical interns) and the prospect of seeing guys in lab coats actually got me excited. Since I enjoyed my little trip to the hospital so much, I thought I'd recommend some things to if ever you should find yourself in my position.

Must Do's at Medical City

  • Check out guys in their labcoats. Pretend you are Meredith Grey, a surgical intern, avoiding but secretly hoping to bump into Dr. McDreamy.
  • Using your Medicard, throw your weight around. Get absolutely everything checked out. I mean everything! I asked my eye doctor if my dark undereye circles could be due to a rare eye infection and not a product of late nights and insomia.
  • Put five gold stars on the clinics you like. Some have interior design befitting of spa more than a clinic.
  • Compliment the hospital janitor on the wonderful hospital aroma. Say something like, "It smells sterile with a hint of lime”.
  • Go to the hospital chapel and pray for the terrible state of your life then have a good look around at the people who really have problems.
  • You could also get a friend to shoot you with a camera. Make believe that you're a telenovela actress in an intense scene where you find out that you were switched at birth. Of course, no one would believe you if they watched it. Because hospitals in the Philippines never look like this! Not even in the movies...
