The app that makes you a more patient patient
Life, Nanticha Ocharoenchai, Published on 24/10/2018
» Your head is aching and your legs are too. You limp over to the reception of the hospital and register your name. You're given directions to the department, a walk straight up, a turn to the right, two floors up the elevator, turn right again, and it's among the 13 rooms lining the hallway.
