April 23, 2015 -- I would probably never forget how I had to bring myself to the Emergency Room all by myself at quarter to 4 in the morning. Yes you got that right ALL BY MYSELF!
Woke up the night before at around 10 pm with an unexplained pain in my abdomen. Had to dismiss the uneasiness I felt since I had to report for a graveyard shift that night. I thought it was going to disappear after taking some pain killers but to my dismay it only grew more painful. Paid a visit to the clinic several times and got myself only an hour rest before my break. As I lay down the employees' sleeping lounge I wasn't able to bring myself to sleep and this time I felt something unusual at the lower right region of my abdomen. It was excruciating and I was barely able to walk. Panic hit me... I slowly found my way back to the clinic and asked the nurse to bring me to the nearest hospital because I know something was terribly wrong. Sure I got disappointed to know the company doesn't offer a shuttle service to bring me to the hospital and was told that my manager had to take me to the hospital herself. I waited for my manager which made matters worse. I got furious with her least helpful, unconcerned and passive tone. It was supposed to be her initiative to take me to the hospital since I was her liability. I ended up taking a taxi cab with a driver who cares nothing more than himself.
