Day 258 - Give me Novocaine
" sorry We're closed. " she looked at me as she took her purse and keys to lock the main doors of the clinic. She looked as though she was rushing for lunch.
"But its really urgent, is it okay if.. i.. "
"you shoulld have came before eleven,unfortunately, you'll have to wait to two o'clock when our doctor comes back." Her voice was exceptionally loud and stern as she interrupted what i had to say. She wanted to make her stand. I had no other choice.
I leaned towards the glass doors so as to exit the clinic. Bad day.
So i went to withdraw money and had lunch at my favourite hawker centre. Fried sotong, Egg and potato. As usual i ordered coke. Eyes was still quite painful but bearable fortunately.
I waited till two at the cyber cafe,went to facebook and youtube for $2.40 an hour. No choice, there were no other forms of entertainiment around that area.
So it was finally two and i went to the clinic,didn't wait for long. 15 minutes and it was my turn. First to see the doctor i suppose.
" Hi jingcheng, what is the problem? " He filed his documents and placed them at the corner of his desk as he read the name on the medical card,of which i signed just now to enjoy medical benfits.
"Sore eyes." I said, so as to get it over and done with. All i needed was an MC to answer for my absence at work
He took his equipment,something that actually looked a like a sophisticated form of torchlight.
He placed his fingers above and below my eyes, extending my eyelids so as to get a clear vision of whatever sore eyes i was down with.
" One...two...three..four...five. Okay this is bad, i'd have to refer you to A&E immediately. You have 5 ulcers around your cornea. "
"What?! Whats wrong??! " I was shocked. I was really really shocked. I was taken aback,completely! The first thing that came to my mind was... do i have to undergo a surgery?!
So i asked inorder to rid my insecurity. " will i go blind? will i have to undergo any surgery?! "
He replied in a nonchalant manner " I didn't say you won't have to undergo any surgery,and its too early to tell if you're going blind,or not. For now, i will need you to go down to Singapore General Hospital or changi hospital under a A&E Case. "
I walked out of the clinic and called my mom.
I rushed down to Singapore national eye centre and ignored whatever Changi hospital cause i heard they are not really professional and have to wait for ultra long just for a walk-in case. Not to mention A&E.
My mom arranged me to see a specialist.
Above all else...
She told my mom that she'll need to do eye scraping to determine what is growing inside my eye.
So ... i was like... wow that sounds painful. lol
I asked if it'd hurt she said no not really cause you'd be under anesthetic.
So she dripped a few drops into my eye. After 15 minutes,i saw Syringe(s), with NEEDLES. She started to scrape the tip of my eye.
does it sound painful?
Yes i'm down with 7 days mc.
Mom couldn' t help but nag and scold and nag and scold x99
because the fees were 400+.
lol.
Sometimes my mom is very nice.
Sometimes, i suspect my grandfather was some computer maniac and installed some menopause software into my mom, resulting in her incessant demands everyday.
Thank God im 17 and im moving out,very soon.
I am going back to SNEC tomorrow for 2nd check up,this time, its an hour worth of eye scraping. Everybody keep me in prayers!!!
