went to the hospital

I went to the hospital yesterday.
Because I had a sore throat and the fever with temperatures above 38 degrees Celsius.
I waited an hour for my turn to be examined, and I got the doctor's opinion.
The findings in careful evaluation by doctor that it's just a cold. Phew. I was relieved.
The doctor gave me a prescription for my illness. So I went to the pharmacy to fill my doctor's prescription. I was given a 5-day course of medicine -- combination cold remedy, antibiotic drug, throat lozenge and throat washing --. The total -- diagnosis and medicines -- was about 1500 yen. Woow, inexpensive ! Thanks to health insurance system we are able to go see any doctor for a reasonable price. But, actually, there are many misgivings about the current health insurance system.

I should take this opportunity to recharge my battery.
