Wednesday morning, my mum and younger brother left the house before I woke up to go to Bali. I had a little difficulty in breathing at first. I hesitated again but decided I should take more rest at home instead of destroying myself at work. I went to see the doctor at the Outram polyclinic …

Another Unpleasant Visit to Outram Polyclinic
Last Friday, I went back to Outram Polyclinic again. The queue was short and I got to see Doctor Alfred Wong very soon, which was one of the fastest ever. He gave me the impression that he was from overseas, or rather, used to work as a journalist; he simply reminded me of a colleague. …

Flu Again and Again
I pinned high hopes to get some vicks or strepsils from the Co-Op in the yesterday morning. It was over 10 AM and after looking at the notice on the door, which “9am to 4pm” was written, I happily went in to get my lozenges. The girl at the cashier was asking me what I …
First MC of the Year
I woke up feeling more feverish than before. My body was weak and the joints were aching. The sore throat resided for a while like the day before but the flu did not stop. I was so terrified of myself whenever I recalled being inside the class, having to move to the back to sneeze …
The Singapore Waiting Hospital Again
[Tuesday, 28 November, 2006] I tried to sleep early especially this night to go to the polyclinic in the early morning. I was not sure what time I dozed off and whether did my mum wake me up, but she suddenly asked me where I was going. Then, she recommended me to a skin doctor …
Pre-Admission testing date changed
[Wednesday, 13 September, 2006] The nightmare of the sleeping hour continued. Another thing I could not understand about my mum was that she insisted to switch on the air-con at night despite the heavy electricity bill. My elder brother was careless about the two hundreds plus dollars bill after using the air-con even during noon …
Defeat my purpose
[Tuesday, 29 August, 2006] Having failed to listen to Vivi and sleep early, I had a hard time getting up in the morning. Her sweet messages woke me up a few times and finally I got up around noon. My plan was to go to the polyclinic and get a referral letter to NUH (National …
I think I can be a doctor too
[Friday, 02 June, 2006] It was another disappointing day at the polyclinic. Sally Ho was not around when I thought she could be kind enough to solve my problems. I was assigned to another doctor then, Dr. Foo something, which I found the name very familiar. I was the first patient and this slacker started …
Polyclinics for two days MC
[Thursday, 11 May, 2006] I stepped into the polyclinic with queue number 5036, being the thirty-six patient at 0745h. The clerk assigned me to room 29, Dr. Sally Ho, and I felt it was kind of coincidence since my mum was mentioning she always asked for this doctor specially. I sat there thinking I should …
Report sick
[Friday, 28 April, 2006] I have this bad habit of not going to see the doctor immediately until when more problems arouse. This day, I actually went to see doctor for my giddiness, eyes and nose irritation, injured nerve on my right finger and stomach discomfort. I told her about the giddiness and breathing difficulties …
