I've been in three hospitals for three days. Last Monday i brought my daughter in Lourdes Hospital Emergency Room for check up because she's having high grade fever, headache and cough. I brought her immediately for my fear of A HINI. Xrays, blood exams was done but all normal except the x rays shows something abnormal in the lungs according to the Doctor. It might be pneumonia. We went home after 6 hours waiting at the ER for the blood results. There were 2 suspected patients for swine flu from Don Bosco . Lots of patients come and go for check up due to fever but unfortunately this Hospital does not have swab test for A H1N1. I bought mask in the hospital for my protection for 10 pesos.
The following day, we went to medical city Hospital for check up again because we really wanted my daughter to undergo swab test but the hospital categorized those patient for swine test, only those who exposed in the affected area. Mask cost 14 pesos.
Again my husband insisted swine test so we went to St lukes Hospital again and waited for three hours again until finally done. We paid four thousand for the Test and two thousand for handling of the specimen ( I don't know how they handle the specimen) plus 950 pesos for the consultation fee. Cost of mask here is 22 pesos. Same quality and brand.
Result can be finished within forty eight hours. How i wish that it would be negative.
