Doctors don't always have brains

Due to certain really anal circumstances, and I’m assuming people as well, MCs from private clinics aren’t quite accepted from me anymore – actually the same goes for any other person who’s in the same boat as I am. So that meant that I had to go to TTSH, waste close to half my day on endless waiting just for a slip of paper and medication.

So what’s wrong with me this time is that I’m coughing AGAIN. But this morning I noticed that my phlegm was oddly coloured and I thought it was due to the chocolate milk that I drank but then I realised that it was actually blood in my phlegm. All I could think was “don’t let it be TB!” So since it seemed serious, it made perfect sense to get myself checked and get well as soon as I possibly can.

I go to the hospital and after all the waiting and drawing my blood, they tell me that it’s just an infection and I’ll get a free gift called Amoxicillin. They also gave me MC and gave me a choice of 1 or 2 days. I chose 2 days. I got my MC at 6PM. I’m going back on Tuesday. Why would any doctor give you an MC that covers you on a day you don’t work and from 6PM? Imagine what would have happened if I chose 1 day... Brainless...
