Once upon a time, there was this girl who was born, and stayed in the hospital for 2 wks while other healthy ones for only a few days. doc suspected was heart defect.
she grown up, but diahhrea happened and was sent into the hospital.
she went to the optician and wanted a pair of contact lens. She found her degree and colour, and was excited to wear it to school. She was only sec 3 then.
She was told by the optician that if her eyes was too dry, she can go for eye drops. Only 1% of the population will have this problem and so, cannot wear contact for their whole life. Unfortunately, her eyes were really dry and she yawned all the time, and brought eyedrops. However, she tried all methods but they did not work out at all.
She realised she was the 1% population.
The girl then grew up and took her O levels chinese. She was too stressed and coughed her way to the end of the the exam. She didnt get a good grade( at least to her) and retook her chinese. The same results returned at the end of the yr, she broke down and cried. She scored a freaking 16 ptns, and chinese and science both with A2.
She was too stressed with fever on and off, finally fainted and was sent into TTSH's A and E. Blood was taken, and urine. She was told to have pueumonia, an infection of the lungs. Do u know what was the results? too stressed and cause fever. that fever lasted 3 wks.
She was told to write 12 choices for polytechnic, and then she didnt get into any of her choice. How stupid was her to choose a JC for her first choice, and was offered an art course. She was a science freak, of course she didnt want that. And so, all her choices went down the drain.
She was given a course in RP's environmental science. She hated it, and appealed for biomedical, because being a surgeon is what she really wants. She imagines herself wearing labcoat, and gg ard to cure illnesses.
Of course, she didnt get course and she cried for one whole wk. And then, she went down multiple times to appeal for what she wants. She was given biotechnology. she didnt want that, however better than DENV.
She went on to sch, her first cls full of politics, third cls was like shit.
The other classes were only ok, she was nv part of the clique of the cls.
now that she reached yr three, she shld have a lot of frens, nobody rmb her bdae. She celebrated alone, and forgot abt it. No wonder none of her wishes came true.
she rly liked her cls for sem 2, however, she was in contact with someone with TB. She gt herself screened, poked two needles, endured the pain and finally diagnosed with it. Her hands puffed and swelled like crazy, and have to eat med for 6 mths.
will this med affect her? she needs a wisdom tooth surgery under GA, she has scoliosis, she has heart palps, IBS and have swollen lymph nodes.
doc say was fine. she made fren with the pregnant nurse there and told her that she was infected before, and gave birth to three children alrdy, yet nth happened.
she went on to take med.
she remembered her experience, when she went down to ttsh's A AND E AGAIN, to examine her heart. the first time she went to polyclinic for pimple cream, then then was referred to take an ECG.
first ECG was fine, then refered to cardio dept of ttsh. have to wait very long, which is after her op. the reason she went for ECG becos she is scared she will nv wake up from her GA surgery. second ECG was abnormal, and so took blood tests. everything came back fine.
She tot it was over.
first day of med, suffered side effects and endured for a day. Finally the next day went to her trusted family doc, and was told that it was the side effects. she was told only 10% of the population will have side effects. all her frens didnt get, she realised she was the 10%.
she went on and took the med prescribed by her fam doc, still painful. she took a cab to ttsh A AND E and was pushed in with a wheelchair. then transferred to the bed and then to a quarantine room becos she has LATENT TB.
the doctor came and she explained everything, and then wanted to a put a finger into her ass and see whether she have blood in her stool. she refused and doc said was okay. he then wanted to put her on a drip, and blood test. what? would she have to be poked two times? no, tech is so advance, she was poked only one time.
she said she was scared of injections, and doc consoled her by asking her what course she is taking and wat she wanted to be in the future. she embarrassed herself by saying she wanted to become a doc, and when she blurted it out, the injection was done.
a plastic tube was inserted into her right hand, and when the drip started, it was cold and a bit painful.
she stayed in the hospital from 2pm to 9pm in the night.
then, another freak doctor that was rly bad, said that her side effects was not caused by the med, as blood, x ray and urine was fine. actually suspected kidney stones.
it could be due to ovarian cyst, like her cousin. However, it is normal.
she was given apptm to see the gynae at the end of the mth, and she is returning to TB centre and cfm her side effects to the med.
Sha fell in love with the the first doc ytd. wait, it is not that kinda love, its her love for doctors as they can save ppl, help them outta their misery. She hopes she can become one too.
she has to go back for physiotherapy, dec go back to geriatic doc to take xray to see whether her back has deteriorated, go to gynae to check her ovary, TB centre to check up, dental for braces and many more she couldnt even remember.
her frens tot she was crazy to screen for cholesterol and glucose, becos they didnt know what happened to her(hospital experiences from birth till now).
she alrdy have so many health concerns, will she survive the ordeal?
