Life’s Lessons

After our Manila getaway, Ace wasn’t able to report back to work for the rest of the week because he suffered from recurring fever. I insisted he should see a doctor for us to know what’s causing the fever that he was nursing for days. He was advised to undergo different tests to know what’s wrong with his system. Turned out, he has urinary tract infection that the doctor cannot directly tell us what is the underlying cause of the infection. To treat the infection, Ace had to undergo one week of antibiotic medication. I am not into drinking antibiotics but since it was prescribed by the doctor, then Ace has to take it religiously. Thanks to Ace’ medical benefits that covered his consultation fee, laboratory fees, and medicines. Also, we are relieved that the medication is only for a week. If it’s longer and he has no medical benefits such as the one he is enjoying now, we would definitely resort to patient assistance programs where he could avail of the free prescription medications. I should say, it is really expensive to get sick these days.
