traces of an inexplicable misfeature.
Tuesday, April 25, 2006

Okay it's 25 degrees today,
and guess what?
I'm the only idiot in the office with 3 layers of clothing
and a scarf around my neck.
This is not because I'm a typical summer-all-year-long
Singaporean,
but I am not feeling well.

Acute food-poisoning the doctor said.
After a series of blood test
and doctors and nurses with lousy attitudes.

When I walked into the hospital,
Me: Where can I do the registration?
Old and grumpy nurse: What's wrong with you?
Me: Gastric, diarrhea, and I cannot stop vomiting.
OGN: How bad is your diarrhea?
Me: Okay la, not that bad. but my problem is i cannot stop puking.
OGN: What cannot stop puking?
i asked you whether if your diarrhea's serious right?
(and I was like, wtf. )

At the registration counter,
I have no idea what's my address,
so my colleague asked me to give the company's address instead.
After paying the registration fees,
11.10RMB, which is S$2.20,
I walked into the consultation room, no, more like,
CONSULTATION HALL,
with lots of old ladies who looked like they're in pain
(wtf again)
Weird Doc: What's wrong with you?
Me: Gastric, diarrhea, and I cannot stop vomiting.
Weird Doc: Oh Oh, you gotta go to the Stomach Department
(okay I have no idea what do they call it)
Me: Okay, and where is it?
Weird Doc: Go ask the reception.
Me: Where can I find the Stomach Department?
Lazy Receptionist: Oh now they're having lunch, no one there.
(She wrote something on my receipt and asked me to back to the W.D)

The W.D press here press there,
W.D: Is it painful?
Me: Yeah.
W.D: Always that painful?
Me: On and off.
W.D: Oh what is that logo on your sweater? (WTF)
Me: Err...
wrote something on my paper and asked me to go for a blood test.
The bloody blood test cost 58.60RMB, which is like S$12.
The asshole who took my blood was so rough,
that the wound refused to close after like some 15 minutes?
Argh.

After 30 minutes of waiting,
I got my results,
and guess what did that W.D say?
Oh you have acute food-poisoning,
you needa be on drip for the next three days,
and an injection on your ass.
(I swear they were trying to cheat my money)

And guess what did i say?
NO. Just give me some medicine and get over and done with it.
And the bloody medicine cost me 127RMB.
which is about S$25.40.
After collecting the medicine,
I ran out of the hospital and
swear that I'll never fall sick over here again.
