It is always a good feeling when somebody has your back. It is always great to get help fast, and it is always astounding when the help is free. If you are looking for this kind of stability, the health services office is the perfect place to go.
I awoke to the sound of my alarm piercing through the quiet calm of the morning. Like most mornings, I gave the option of pressing the snooze button brief consideration. After about three seconds, the noise bothered me to a higher degree than usual. I switched off my alarm and discovered that I had an ear infection.
My ride picked me up, and I immediately took the opportunity to complain to the first victim of the day. Unshaken, she told me to go to the health services office. It seemed to be good idea, and I found out quickly that it was.
After I stumbled confused up to the front desk, the place became alive. I was handed forms, which were simple, and then guided into a room. Here I was weighed, and then they checked my blood pressure. After the nurse gave me some brief options on the best ways to quit smoking, I was ushered in to see a doctor in the next room. The doctor asked me which ear was the problem. I told her. She looked at it for under ten seconds and then she handed me some medication.
I went back to the front desk, for my last surprise. The bottle of pills that usually costs close to thirty dollars was reduced to five. I had a problem, and the health services office had my back. They helped me quickly, and the cost was covered in our student fees. This, by the way, is awesome.
I have heard both positive and negative stories involving health services. The good seemed to outweigh the bad, and I witnessed it myself. As quickly as they moved me along, I still felt like the health service people cared. There are not many better ways for people without insurance to be aided back to health. Go discover your options and be prepared to thank the deserving medical personnel. You can thank me later.
