Verdict of Clinic visit - wouldn't count on it to save lives + Review on memorable clinic visits and meds
just got back from the clinic.
OH LORD. it was sucha bloody long wait!!
so I went back to my house to rest after registering my name right (I was no #12 in the list at 2.30PM), and at 3.20PM, when I returned, the receptionist said there was 6 people before me.. so fine, I waited, but I didn't get to see the doctor until like 4.10PM!! which means about 1 hour++ of waiting time!! Imagine if I'm some very sick, very feverish patient, I would've died in agony of waiting, perhaps I would have even fainted..
gosh. the first 30 mins of wait felt like 1 hour. I was exceptionally impatient because only 1 patient (!)went in to see the doctor during this 30 mins! must've been some LONG checkup or something because after that patient, things were faster. however, I would say that the clinic is STILL very slow in operating. even the medicine is dispensed slowly to the patient. at the end of it all,boy was I glad to be back in my home sweet home!!~
during my long wait there, I was thinking that maybe I should've went to my mom's office to see the doctor because it would've been faster, but nah, it would mean I'd have to stay at her office till dinnertime!! T.T and it'd also mean there's no bed for me to lie/rest in..
oh well. anyway, here's my verdict of the clinic (just for fun):
Decor: 1/5
(non-air conditioned, to save costs I presume, had quite rundown walls and seats. no television to entertain bored patients)
Consultation: 4/5 (the female doctor was friendly)
Waiting time: 1/5 (damn long wait lah! even my maid says so)
Misc: 2/5
(1 mark for a cost breakdown slip which states the consultation costs and each medicine costs, and how many pills was prescribed. something I don't see in other clinics I've visited for.. )
Comments/Verdict: Wouldn't count on this clinic to save my life.
Will avoid this clinic for the long wait. Plus point for cost breakdown slip!!
Cost Breakdown Slip:
Consultation Fee: $20 (think this is quite standard)
Medicines prescribed:
Eye Oinment $4,
Fever Med. $2 for 16 pills (lasts me for 2 days!),
Antibiotics $9 for 10 pills (lasts me for 5 days!),
Swollen Med. $2 for 10 pills (lasts me for 3 days!).
Subtotal: $37
Fee Adjustment: $10
Final Fees: $27!!
and now. my review on memorable clinic visits!
*Time when I was the sickest/weakest:
When I had dengue fever in Poly Year 1!
Was hospitalised and felt damn sick and weak. can't bathe, felt so restless (sleeping all day) and had to face so many blood withdrawals and blood pressure taking (that my veins shows)..
*Favourite Medicine:
The sweet thing the nurses feed us before we get injections in Primary school.
*Most Hated Medicine:
Powdery medicine that is so big they threaten to choke you! And also chinese medicines/"good for your health but looks/smells/tastes so darn strange/bitter" brews parents feed you with
*Most Mafan Medicine:
The liquid kinda medicine because you have to use a spoon, wash it and keep the bottle away from ants.
*Most Embarressing Clinic Visit(s):
1) Cos I go to the toilet (to pee) too much! And also 2) when my breasts ached.. both were damn retarded, esp the latter. Mom actually bothered to bring me to the doctor over such retarded "ailments" - what about nowwwww when I'm real sick!! >_> GAHHH! anyway the doctor actually prescribed medicine for the former which I love to stick under the table. the medicine was yellow and sticky and looked lyk a yellow gummy bear!!
*Most Hated Sickness Symptom/Effect:
Flu (cos it's so annoying. have to keep clearing your nose and there's also the hardness of breathing) and Vomitting (cos you vomit your "guts" out. food goes in so easily but when it wants to comes out, it's harder!)
*Most Scary Feeling/"Ailment":
when I fell asleep one day and rested too much on one side of my ear (thereby increasing the pressure there so much).. and then I woke up in cold sweat with that ear feeling like "lava is flowing out"!! was soo afraid I'd go deaf man!
*Most Common Ailment I had when I was young:
The "Nong" red thing that grows on your eye or whatever because you're too heaty. mom will pop it for me.

Maybe I'd go there to walk if I feel well enough!
