Damned country


Yesterday, I have got a high body temperature and a fever. My nose was blocked, I couldn’t breath. In addition,my clothes were wet like a flood of water during my sleep. When I woke up in the morning, I felt dizzy till the point I fainted. My faint gave my roommates a fright. They have called the ambulance of the dorm emergency y but It is always the same old story. The ambulance didn’t work !!! Then, after a phone call, my colleague’s friend came by his car  to accompany me to the doctor. Approximately one hour and half, we were looking for a private doctor  in the surroundings  but they were all closed. Yes!! Thurday was a day off because of ‘EL MOULOUD’ .What a fucking country!, all Algeria stops working even the sector of health; they wait impatiently this kind of moment! As I’ve got no choice, I went to the clinic of Beni Mesous. Goodness! Sooner  I forgot that I went there to treat when I saw the huge number of patients suffering from different diseases waiting their turns in vain.The worst, at  lunch time, both receptionists  went for eating  without any replacement. Suddenly I told to myself: ‘sometimes, I need to be shocked like now  to stop sniveling. ‘I really wanted to wait there just to insult them before I go back but unfortunately  I felt a terrible ache which pushed me to leave this clinic immediately and join the clinic of Dely Brahim. Luckily, I didn’t find a lot of people waiting;so,rapidly it was my turn to enter. But what a stupid doctor! it was the first time in my whole life that a doctor passed me the visit on my clothes and without looking if my blood pressure and my temperature  are OK or not. At my exit to look for a pharmacy to buy the medicaments,I found them all close too till I went to Ben aknoun where one pharmacy was open and one antibiotic was missing! Anyhow, this is Algeria ! This is our damned country ! Even with your money you can’t pass!
