Paying a visit to a public hospital or a public clinic is very exhausting, especially for elderly. Even though you have already got a booking, it does not guarantee you can soon finish your business. Every one is waiting for doctor consultation, picking up drugs or waiting for confirmaton of next visit. Workers there are just too busy to be attentive to all patients. You’d better take care of yourself and turn back so that they can keep the queue moving.
This explains why suddenly there is a demand for outpatient helpers to take patients to hospital and take care of what they needs. Some patients are too weak to deal with the workers there. Old people may even need someone can take them to toilet and help them around. But as a usual working guy/ girl, you don’t have the luxury to constantly accompany your parents to hospital. If someone can offer you a helping hand, that will definitely reduce your burden. At least you will feel more relieved than letting your parent to go alone.
Most outpatient helpers are housewivies who would like to make extra income to susidize their household expenses. But this is not easy money. Taking a weak person around requires a lot of physical strength, leaving alone that you have to be careful enough to avoid hurting her. Plus a sick person often does not feel good, leave alone kept waiting in somewhere she can't take a good rest. Working hours are not regular and sometimes you are held and unable to leave for picking children up or prepare dinner while you may have no order received next day. It seems a quick way to earn easy money but not every one enjoy doing it.
