As I step out of his office I remember one of my previous doctors, Dr. Johnson, maybe he still have the records of my previous tests. I don’t know what to do, but everything happens so fast. So, as fast as I could, I drove to Dr. Del Rosario. It took me 30 minutes to get there...
“Good Morning Ma’am, what can I do for you? Here for a checkup?”
“No, I just want to talk to talk to him.”
“Hm. Okay but you have to wait here; he still has a patient inside.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After 15 minutes
“Good Morning Erin, I haven’t seen you for a long time now. You’re getting taller. How old are you now? Where’s Aling Lucia?”
“Good Morning Dr. Del Rosario. I came here alone.”
“Why did you come here alone?”
“Hm, Aling Lucia is busy and there’s no one else to watch the house.”
“Oh, I see. Why didn’t you come to see me on your past scheduled appointments and checkups?”
“Hm. Sort of busy and there’s loads of paper and school works. I already have forgotten about it.”
“To tell you the truth Erin, your last checkup seems to have a bad result. I called your house for a couple of times but nobody answers.”
“Oh, we transferred.”
“You should have informed me. Look, Erin. I know the reason why you came here, even though you haven’t talked to me about it yet.”
“What are you trying to say? I feel fine. There’s nothing to worry about.”
“So, why did you come here?”
“Hm, because I wanted to come over and ask how you are.”
“Erin, look. Don’t fool me. This isn’t a big joke okay? The last time you came here was 2 years ago and then now you come here just to ask me how am I going? Well, as you can see I’m perfectly fine. Look Erin, I don’t know why you have to lie to me.”
“No, I’m not. Okay, I’m leaving.”
“No, sit there we really need to talk. I can understand you why you have to act this way. I know that you know something and that makes it hard for you right now.”
I don’t know what to do. He is interrogating me. I kind feel so embarrassed in front of him and I just can’t stand it. A tear fell on my face and I know that Dr. Johnson knows what that tears for. I walkout on his office and then I bumped on his secretary. I went straight into my car and drive home.
