Mr Recruit Goes to Hospital...
Today is sunday, the day which i finished all my medication, but guess wat? i still havent recover from my cough and just when i was setting off to jurong east mrt station to meet my bunkmate which lives few blocks away from me and shares the same bday as me 25th Sep 1984 lol, didnt i mention i got 2 buddies which is sep 25th 1984? 1 is at pasir ris named james, the other is just blocks away from me named yuchen, if i didnt get into this PTP, i wouldnt know that such coincidences existed haha well back to topic, just when i was on my way to mrt station, i finally couldnt tahan and decided to buy cough medicine. i went to the convenient store and bought woods cough syrup. spend $4.30 and continued my way. then something serious happened, on my way there, i was coughing away and then my fever came. upon reaching the mrt station i took a measurement and guess wat? it was a 39.2 degrees celsius! my whole head was in pain and sort of like spinning already, after meeting my bunkmate, i tell him that i m not going to tekong liao, im alighting at outram park to go to hospital. luckily while waiting for the train, syaiful, a malay bunkmate came and i called out to him, yuchen and him can go to tekong liaoz without me. After a 15 mins ride, finally reached outram park, bid them goodbye and then set off to Singapore General Hospital. Seriously, this is the first time in my life that i went to hospital ALONE to seek consultation. After that, i went around asking ppl where to seek treatment for fever and cough, then found my way to block 1 where A & E cases are attended, which is also the place for my treatment. (Singapore General Hospital is a farking big place, took a long walk before i reach block 1 and seriously, when i reach there, i was already half dead :\)After that took my temperature at the carpark at the 2nd storey, yes its 39.2, got a mask from the nurse, she filled in my details and then asked me to go inside. After that i waited for about 15 mins before my name was called inside and they took my pulse and blood pressure, told me to wait outside again (wow nurse very chio ^^), then after that waited for 15 mins - half hour, then the doc called me go to room 2, wow the doc also very chio! very young doc, 23-25 yrs old bah i think :D, cannot see the mouth at first cos she wearing mask too, budden the eyes and the voice, woot woot! anyway nvrmind, then asked me to sit down, asked me bout questions of how long my cough and fever have been, my fever is about 1 week + liao, my cough is about 2 weeks at least cos i've been coughing since i entered NS ba i think, she asked me if i've seeked any doctor, then i tell her i got see MO twice in tekong and even gana drip but still not recover.
After that she say need to take my blood sample for testing and later i need to go X-ray, then use the rubber gloves to tie round my right hand and then took out the syringe [wah lao poke poke again :'( ] then i look at the syringe poke my vein and wow shiok again, pain siah! she tried talking to me, asking some more questions to divert my attention away so it will be less painful for me, then i tried to answer lor budden tell u la, really damn pain lol (it took about 30 secs). After getting the blood sample, she say hmm ok, seems that u dont need handyplast :\.
After that i was asked to wait outside for my x-ray and then she say that my bloodtest will take about an hour which i think is ONE HOUR hospital time = 2 or more hours earth time. While waiting outside i can see that there is about 3 NS guys, 2 on wheelchair (dunno wat happen to them), and 1 ns guy came to talk to me, he is from kranji camp and he say that he is gonna POP(passing out parade) liao budden gana stupid fever cough and then the medicine from MO no use one, he say until like the MO very jialat, dont give him attend c, always change to attend B let him do sai kang. Then asked me why am i wearing smart 4, i replied him that i was actually going to book in budden suddenly the fever came back made me bway tahan polyclinic closed on sun and i go hospital lor. He got 3 days MC, and left way earlier b4 me.
After waiting for 15 mins after my bloodsampling, i was asked by the nurse to go x-ray, took my x-ray which was super fast :). then was asked to wait. that time was about 7:25, i reached the place at 6:09, here comes the fun part, i have to wait for my results and those that was after me, left one by one... :\ watched Yi tian Tu LOng JI from start until end, still havent finish, went to buy oreo cookie at the vending machine and took a cup of plain water due to my hunger and then walk around in smart 4 like an idiot waiting for results. Very jialat, cannot tahan want to die liao, the nurse gave me panadol while i waited outside, spent few hours outside, doing nothing, then saw "Men's Health" magazine, finished the whole book there :( wearing the stupid mask, enduring the cold air con, in the end my temperature dropped to 37.2.
lol finally just before 10 pm, my doc asked me to go in (she took off her mask, wow!) then she say paiseh let me wait so long, she say its cos of the blood test and then tell me that my x-ray results, lung got some infection, she will give me anti-biotics to help cure it and then the tests results showed that my white blood cells are on the high, if im an elderly i would be admitted to hospital liaoz, budden im in my 20s so nvrmind can go home. Then she say i will have quite a long mc, then i say " 1 week? :) " (CHAO KENG!) she says ya, bout 1 week. :D ho seh la! then she tell me thats all lor, she go issue me mc and then ask me to wait for my medicine outside, and asked me to call back my camp and tell them im not going back for long time liaoz haha.
Then waited for 15 mins like dat, got my mc, 3 days light duty, medicine list and BILL. i gave my medicine list to the pharmacy, then proceeded to pay bills which is of course FREE. budden looked at the bill quite expensive, its $80! The bill got b4 and after gov grant, if im foreigner, i'll have to pay $191.40 for this whole thing wow! if im singaporean, i'll need to pay $80!
