~ Trip to the doc's ~

today, i had to go the polyclinic to see the doc - fortunately & unfortunately. mc for work. yippee. got the rest i needed. but i want MORE !!!.

ok thats not the point.

i wen to the polyclinic at 11.30 cos i know that the counters will close at 12 for lunch. but when i went there, there was this A4 notice that the counters were already closed, cos of overwhelming patients. counters reopen oni at 1.30. i was like WTH !!! that sounds kinda unfair lorrr. so now, all those ppl who came wif me had to wait until 1.30pm. so fine, i wen to the library - simply heavenly - to spend time there.

and i went back there at 1.30pm, oni to find a lllooonnnggg line of ppl already lining up for the queue number. typical singaporeans. ;) and ya, i was like the 33th patient for that afternn. waiting time - approx 2 hrs. dammit. and the best part is oni 3 registration & pharmacy counters were open. wow, no wundar it was 2 hrs. cmon laa, they can see the crowd rite, y nt open more counters and get the staff back from lunch faster or something. but thank god i left the clinic by 3. phew.

and ya one more thing, from my opinion laa. about the thing that now ppl can see the crowds at polyclinics from the internet. the thing is, today i noticed that, most of the patients there were the elderly, who came alone for their appointments. jus out of curiosity, how many of these elderly would have checked the internet b4 they came to see the doc ??? i tink none. and wat if they kena the same situation as me - to have to wait for like an hour plus cos of overwhelming patients? cmon man, these ppl are already tired and weak. i tink the 'check on the internet' is an excellent idea, but mayb they can be better to help the elderly.

thats all. now its back to work. gosh.
