My first visit to see my doctor, one of my doctors. It was GP Pal, a woman, from India. Old, deaf and very very stubborn. Just like me, the stubborn part that is. I thought the system over here was fine until today, A. tried to warn me several times by telling me that the system in the Netherlands is much better than in the UK… Of course I didn’t believe him and that’s exactly the reason why I came home totally frustrated.
The woman refuses to give me the proper medication, meds that I have been using for years given to me by a Chinese lung specialist at the hospital where I have been tested, over and over and over again… Wroaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… it just really frustrates me. Why is it that people never listen, just listen, truly listen… I thought it would be alright over here. Don’t get me wrong, I still like London a lot but this is the only thing that is truly annoying me.
It’s all so pointless if she would just be interested and have a look at my medical files that I brought over just to avoid situations like these. I even offered to have it translated by a special medical translator which is probably going to cost me a fortune. But hey… if it makes her listen and understand? Then money is no issue. Better to have a few expenses than this level of annoyance. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It Won’t Take Long…
I love him to bits you know, but sometimes he can be a bit demanding my silly guy. He now wants me to take pictures of the Red Monster and design a brochure. Like I haven’t anything else to do, more important stuff… First of all, I don’t want to sell the Red Monster, second of all I have shitloads of other things to do like packin’ for instance???? I told him he had to take care of selling the car if he wants to sell the car. The to-do-list in my head is about to implode. I already notice that my brain doesn’t like the overload of information at times and I’m becoming forgetful.
I really don’t need another subject added to the list. He said he would take care of it but now he wants me to take pictures. How often did you hear the line ‘it won’t take long’ and then in the end you’ve spent hours to get the job done and you knew that was going to happen anyway but you can’t make it clear to the other person that ‘it-won’t-take-long’ situations always take long, no exceptions… There is no such thing as a ‘it-won’t-take-long’ situation, that simply does not exist… *sigh* so I will have to take some pictures… Well I will but the rest is up to him, I’m not going to design a nice little brochure, I have other things to do then faff about.
He even had the car washed… Silly… I’m going to the beach tonight with Chantal, have dinner there and relax a bit so I need the car but cleaning it wasn’t really necessary. He also filled up the tank. Okay that’s sweet and he didn’t have to do it. Aaaaaaaaaaaargh why is he giving me such a hard time, or why am I such a wimp… I will take the pictures for him, but he really has to do the rest. I think that’s the balance.
The Capricorn is near the top of the mountain, all alone watching clear skies most of the time but today there seems to be a fog in the valley. He’s wondering where the others are and why they can’t keep up with his pace since they’re out of sight. He feels like no-one really understands him, the price you pay for being a goat… It’s lonely at the top.
