Mammogram

I almost devoted my whole day today at Makati Medical Center. I had my annual physical check up last May and I was required by the resident OB to get a mammogram procedure. I proceeded to the Breast Clinic at 8:40am and was asked if I had an appointment, I am not aware of it so I was a walk in patient (willing to wait) and there is no definite time for me. After two hours of waiting, I told them that I will just return at 1pm.
When its my turn for the procedure, I still waited for more than an hour, because I was told that I have to return to the mammogram room for another test in a different position.
I still have to return again on Monday because they forgot to charge me (OMG!). It also slipped my mind but I reminded them in the morning of my payment but they said I can pay it later.
Like pap smear, mammogram test was recommended yearly for women 35 years and above.
