[Gualdrapo]

Basically "third world issues" (corruption and co).

Both my parents, of old age, have cataracts. My mother can't see a thing with his right eye; my father is almost in the same condition. Without social security the operation would cost millions (COP$) that I can't afford.

Whereas with social security it would be almost for free. But they've hold my mother from the operation _since before the pandemic_ for all sorts of excuses - no turns, the pandemic itself, and now it's that they will put an internal lens in her eye but it hasn't arrived from where they get from (USA?). Literally last year went calling and going to the hospital asking if they would be operating her soon, but the answer is always the same. It's so tiring for me, imagine for them.
