A Special Experience of Seeing a Doctor in Hong Kong

One week after arriving in Hong Kong, Iris, who hadn't been sick for N years, caught a cold, probably due to the excessive sea breeze during the weekend outing.

After struggling with it for a day and seeing no signs of improvement, I decided to wear a mask and head to the HKU campus hospital to rule out the possibility of H1N1.

Under the blazing sun, I finally made it to the clinic. The nurse asked me: Do you have an appointment?

With a roll of my eyes, do you need an appointment to see a doctor?
