Oki..so I tried out a few things last week, tasted lots of delicious food, caught 2 movies..which I think are the greatest I've seen in the past 365 days..besides that..I have been through 3 ultrasound scans in a week ! @$$#%$^%& and another 1 yesterday..which makes 4 ultrascan in a span of 8 days...$#%$$^%$&*^* The ultrascan results shows that there is something in my body which shouldn't be there..for all those out there..don't worry ..its not a foetus..lol...nothing terminally serious either.
From my point of view..it is something that can be easily taken care of..and I'm still trying to figure out why the goddamn bloody $#%^^& made me go through so much scans..waste so much of my time and not to forget $$$ ! I love my $$$$ ..so please stop making me go through so much nonsense to take them away from me assholes...grrr... Besides $ ..these stuffs is also making my mum real worried...and I do hate myself a teeny weeny bit for it..but to get rid of this sense of guilt..I shall point the finger to the indecisive doctors.
Out of these 4 scans, 3 are done in private clinics and private hospitals because mum thinks that the private hospital will provide more efficient service and will have better + newer equipments as they cost the WORLD! well..out of 3 points..mum is right on 1..regrettably its the last point..they really do cost the WORLD!! As for newer equipments..no comments..hmm..efficiency..NO WAY! I waited at least 1 hour before I'm allowed into the scanning room..as I'm supposed to keeep a full bladder before the scan..My bladder was almost on the edge of bursting..u all know how great that feeling is right ?!!! $R%^%&^*(%
I thought that after charging me so much..the private hospitals,specialist clinics..wateva u call those medical price jackers ..will have the decency to not make me wait as if I were visiting a polyclinic and paying less than one tenth of wat I am.. But no...its the same..just wait! Wait ..wait..and continue to wait there ok ?
I decided I has enough of waiting on my second visit...sttod up, and told mum that I'm going to the neighbourhood polyclinic to get these tests done..I rather pay 10 bucks and wait 4 hours each time..instead of pay 100 bucks and wait 3hours upon each visit..mum stopped me and told me that it's not a matter of 3,4 or even 6 hours of waiting..but to go to a polyclinic to take these tests..I have to 1st queue 2 hours, see a GP, tell him wat test I wanna do, he will then book me the nearest appointment..which probably will be somewhere 2 months later..then I go for the test..wait 3 days for the result, come back to the polyclinic, take a que number and wait another 2 hours to see the GP,if the results shows that there is something unwelcomed in my body, the GP would refer me to SGH and get me an appointment with a doctor there..By going through this system, I would be termed as a subsidised patient..I would not have to pay the docs at the hospital at least $150 for each consultation...but as there are already god knows how many subsidised patients infront of me..mum says it would not be strange if I'm given a date thats 3 months from the time I get my report..Which means if I go to the polyclinic and que last week..I would save myself about $600 in total but have to wait 6 months before I can consult the doctor to handle the unwelcomed guest in my body ....
6 months is a long time to wait...and thou that unwelcomed guest is seemingly harmless right now..I might not be able to say the same 6 months later..so I sat down and continue to wait patiently..After all the hoo haaa in the private specialists blah blah, I'm referred to SGH yesterday..hey I'm lucky u know..if I go thru the polyclinic, its a 6 months wait..now its only 7 days + 3 scans...I tot that now its good, I'm at a govt hospital..so I should be charged lesser..NO ! as I never come thru the polyclinic way(wait 6 months, till dunno wat happens to me) I cant be subsidised..I have to pay $100 for 15 mins consultation $80 for another scan and $132 for 5 blood test results..after paying so much..is there a solution finally? NO! Doc says wait and see...
Now I believe in wat some uncles aunties who sit at the coffee shop says...in this era..in this country...you are not allowed to be sick unless u are $#^%86&* richNow to express the gratitude that I'm feeling constantly, I'm blessed to have caring loving parents who fuss over me..fortunate that life always find one way or another for me to make $$$$..blissful with a loving partner...as usual overwhelmed simply by thinking of how much I really do love my friends ~Continue to wait ....wait..wait....
