A little rant

Hello…. anyone around?? yes, I am still around. Been under the weather lately and it seems like so’s the entire community! It seems like every kid in the preschool is down with something. I’m not sure if it’s because of the freezing weather this week or it’s due to the yo-yo-ing weather where it’s 60 degree one day and then 30 the next! We even had snow the first half of the week. I really can’t wait for spring to be here.
Anyway, I just came out of the doctors office and just had to rant a little. Is it just me or does the medical system here drives anyone else crazy? I’ve been having some medical issues that has been bothering me. So it’s off to Doctor A who then sends me off to Doctor B who sends me to Doctor C and it continues. First of all, in order to see Doctor A, I’ve had to make an appointment 2 weeks in advance, then on the day of appointment, there’s another 1 hour wait before I get to see Dr A for 10 MINUTES!! Then I have to make an appointment 1 month in advance for Dr B, then it’s another 1/2 wait for a 15 Minute appointment. After which, there’s more advance appointments for tests etc. My rant is why is it so hard to get an appointment when the dr only gets to see you for 10-15 minutes!! Many many months later and I still do not have an answer to my problem.
I remember when I was in Florida and had a really bad cold, all I needed was to see the dr for an antibiotic prescription. Guess what, the dr’s office gave me the earliest appointment, 2 MONTHS later!!! Seriously, that is ridiculous! I don’t think that I would need to see the doctor 2 months later. I am sure that I would have recovered by then.
Grr… enough ranting for now. Just had to get it off my mind. I am so glad it’s Friday and it’s looking beautiful outside. Hopefully the blue skies will stay around for the weekend. Happy weekend, everyone.










I heard from overseas Singaporeans about the days, weeks months later medical appointments. By then, flu and fever would be cleared. See doctor for what then?
hope its nothing serious.. take care
hmm … that reminds me how convenient it is to visit a 24 hours clinic back in malaysia, if there is anything minor off the doctor’s office opening hours. here, you have to go the ER and WAIT. yes … i also don’t understand why they ask you to make appt, and then when u are there, they make you wait for 1 hour before u get to see the doc for 10 mins.
