To the Hospital Today I went to the hospital to do some test. I haven't been to it for almost a year. It's pretty crowded there. A nurse told me it's double patients than usual and don't know why. I saw quite a lot of old people waiting and walking around to find something. Well, it's a small hospital near my community and a bit old. They don't have much advanced equipment and very limited automated system. So as I see, it's very hard for old people to understand and go through all the procedures smoothly, cause even me can be confused about where to go and what to do next. When I was waiting for the ultrasound test, a bunch of people piled outside the door. I can hardly find a place to stand though it's going to be my turn. Then there was an old woman, kindly asking me when was her turn. She seemed nearly 70 years old and being alone. I asked her name and looked up the screen. There was no her name on it. Then I asked if she got her tape with the number. She answered no. So I said she should go to the counter to get the number first and then waiting for her name to be showed on the screen and called. She thanked me and didn't go to the counter right away. Squinting up the screen, she looked a little worried. I guess she has some trouble with her vision. I can't help thinking how many old people struggle on the hospital procedure, and how they can easily make it to see the doctor. Since China has such a big population and high percent old people, I figure there is still a long way to go.
