Facebook | Rolando Feria: A Visit to a Hospital

Facebook Rolando Feria: A Visit to a Hospital In Puerto Rico. (Posted in Facebook a While back)
Last night l had what can only be described as a surreal evening,had to go to the emergency room of a local hospital,(kidney Stones) arrived at about 8 in the evening to the emergency room, now, here in Puerto Rico "emergencies" are anything from a cough to someone having being shot, anyway had to wait about one hour to have someone take my blood pressure and ask me if l was in pain (no dear, l just love hanging out at emergency rooms), l got sent back out to sit and wait for another hour, finally my name is called out "the doctor will see you now".
Go to this dingy office and the doctor barely raises her head and ask "Que le pasa Don?' Doctor, my guts are being tore out by this litle rock inside my kidneys l explain to her,"relax give me all your imformation" this goes on for about 30 minutes, finally she says we gonna run some tests and l will give you demerol for your pain "Thank You Lord". I get send back out once again to wait for the nurse to take my blood and give me the Demerol. Now comes more weirdness the nurse this 300lbs Samoan wrestler look alike says to me "Come esta Don Rolando" l look up and totally freaked out ,here she is ready to take my blood and shoot me full of pain killers,when l relized that she had being a former employee of mine and whom l had fired a while back, also her husband used to work for me and had also being fired, oh oh, now l am in trouble l think,she is ready to pay me back, l try to smile and ask her about her family,but realizing that my life is now in her hands, by now my pain is so bad that l think what the hell just give me those pain killers. Well she takes my blood and tells me "pull down your pants" and gives me a shot to kill my pain, in about ten minutes no more pain and l am flying.
l get sent to this litle room where there are about 15 other patients just standing around waiting for who knows what, but l am feeling great the Demerol has by now really kicked in,the room is packed ,on the tv they are playing in spanish the movie "Meet the Spartans" now, this is straight out of Hunter Thompson,all l can l hear are a bunch of gay Spartans going to war singing "l will Survive" and then Paris Hilton,and so on on so forth,after a couple of hours the Doctor calls me back.'Don ya se puede ir".Its 3:30 am.
Finally l get to go home.
