God...I'm surprised I'm still alive. 1st March 2007, marks the first time I ever "Attend C" in my entire NS life, and the first time I reported sick since leaving Tekong.
I wouldn't have done so if it wasn't so serious. Woke up with a fever and this killing pain in my throat. Went to the polyclinic... in the end, the doctor actually told me it's "nothing serious", and sent me off with 2 packets of panadols, and 1 lozenges to suck (actually told me it's sore throat)... And of course 1 day MC...
That night, my head was burning and my throat is killing me. Swallowing saliva alone is freaking pain, and it affected my ear as well. I couldn't eat anything even though I was feeling hungry. Even drinking water is a tormenting... There's one point that I even keep a bowl beside my bed so I can "pui" all the saliva there in order to avoid swallowing it.
Midnight time, really cannot stand it... can't sleep, and finally went to see a 24 hour clinic. The price is unparalleled, yet another day MC. (Yeah, I reported sick twice in a row as a result I think.)
2nd March, Friday. Whole day lie in bed, keep eating the medicine. Barely eat anything the whole day. Then Charleston keep "pestering" me to exchange duty with him tomorrow. I told him "Now I kanna blow by the wind I am shivering like mad. If I stay in that air con room whole day, I will die". I think they will find a corpse the next day.
3rd March, Saturday. Still haven't recover. Don't know WTF. The fever still comes back, my throat condition improves a little... geez. Don't know what to say. The medicine too "Laoya" or my illness very serious? Don't even remember the last time I was sick for so long.
Haiz...hopefully I will completely recover by Monday. Already stay in the bed for 3 full days. Whole body sore. Sleep until I got headache. I look back at the medicine I've taken so far and I'm so shocked. I took at least 20 tablets of fever control medicine over the 3 days... scares me just thinking about it.
By the way, do you know...
- If you're have cough (flu), you shouldn't eat cold base fruits like watermelon, grapes...
- If you have flam, you shouldn't eat bananas and oranges, which causes it...
- When in doubt, eat apples. (The safest fruit)
- Adding salt to coke is a good way to sooth your cough
- The sour plum drink is a very good throat-soothing drink.
- (By My Mum) If you add sour plum to coke, it's even more effective.
One more thing... I feel that a lot of doctors today lack the ethics of being doctors... The feeling I get is "Just give me your money and **** off". Please loh... If you don't even have some passion about saving life, don't be a doctor. Don't be a doctor just for the sake of money.
