As some of you are aware I'm super sick right now.. Literally
SUPER sick! Wonder why am I awake? When you are sick, you have to drink a lot of water. When you drink a lot of water, you have to go toilet. Hence, I'm here after a short toilet break!
My case turned worst this morning around 11am. It started of with just coughing and sore throat. Later on, Mr. Flu came by to pay me a visit as well! Gosh! It felt horrible. After 3 hours after torture, I decided to go home to rest so that I will recover faster. **fast forward : After 5 hours of sleep**
After dinner, Swan dropped me and Eugene at the clinic. The weren't many people. Only one more patient to my turn. But it took about 30 mins before I could MEET the doctor. So here you go! My conversation with
THE doctor!
Doc: Hi. (Paused for a moment.) Yes?Me: Hi doctor. I'm having flu, cough, sore throat and a lil wheezing.Doc: Do you have asthma before? (Flipping through my card.)Wondering why he asked when he is looking through my card! Aren't he reading through my history? Don't he understand?
Me: Oh ya.. I have asthma since young.He took his "not-so-bright" torch.
Doc: Let me check your throat. Say "ahhhh!" You got sore throat? Hrm.. No?I thought he said he is checking? How come asking me?
Me: Yes, I'm having sore throat.Doc: Oh ok. (With a very blur face) Yah, sore throat. Come, let me check your lungs.It took quite a while. But he didn't comment anything after checking.
Doc: Ok. I will give you medication on cough, phlegm and sore throat. All medicine will be in pill form.Me: What bout my flu?Doc: Oh ya. Flu.Getting frustrated with his consultation.
Me: You will be giving two flu pills right?He gave me a STONE face!
Me: Day and night pills.Doc: (Remained stoning.) Err. Yah. Flu pills.Me: Is that all? I can go now?Doc: Ya.Once I'm out, i told Swan, Eugene & Chong Ee the whole story. I was wondering is he even a qualified doctor. Gosh! Time to get my medicine. Enjoy the amusing conversation.
Nurse: (Pointing at medicine 1.) This is cough, 3 times a day.Me: (Nodded)Nurse: (Pointing at medicine 2.) This is cough, night only.Me: (Nodded)Nurse: (Pointing at medicine 3.)
