I went to the doctor today...i entered what looked to be registration and admission and saw tons of people waiting. They must have been the ones who were running from up the street. I knewI was just supposed to go to the 8th floor...which when I got to the elevators...the attendant walked me to the correct set of elevators... Yes elevator attendant to control the crowds of people and one to push the elevator buttons inside...so i enter and the sign in is easy and quick...the nurse takes your vitals and afterwhile the doctor sees you...of course if you need xrays that is done but it takes a while to wait for results...the doctor then sends you on your way to the cashier and pharmacy..you get your meds right there and pay if you have to. There is this machine which slides your insurance card and tells you right away whats covered and whats not ...with your visit. Its a smooth process. The worse part is waiting for the elevators and doctors.
China always amazes me..their record keeping here is very old fashioned in some places. Most of it is on paper in notebooks and carbon paper is used a lot for their forms...especially in banks whereas we're used to the computers . The people here still use bank books..im sure some of our banks use that too, but we rely on online banking more..very interesting!!!
