And whats up with polyclinics man!!! ok la they are cheaper, but they suck.. All you do is to keep waiting..
When I reach there:
1) I got to do queue up for pre-registration.
2) I'm given a queue number and I have to wait for my registration.
3) After which is the wait for my consultation.
4) I was asked to take a blood test. I went to the blood test counter where the receptionist asks me to take another queue number.
(The queue is freaking long, i.e. I need to wait like 50 people just to register)
5) After its my turn, I got to lineup and wait again to draw blood.
6) After drawing blood, I need to wait for the blood test results.
7) When result is out, I got to sit outside the consultation room and wait again to see the same doctor that I have consulted to prescribe medicine.
8) After I am finally done, I need to go to the pharmacy and collect another queue number, and wait for another 20 odd people before I can collect my medicine.
In the end I spend like 4 and a half hours there.. If I really got dengue, I think I would have died even before the blood test results were interpreted..
I wanted to take a photo of the queue but i got stopped by the security saying its a government body and they are strict against anyone taking photo.. Argghhh.. How transparent lor.. Somemore, the drinks in the vending machine are all sold out and the number of people waiting is so much that there arent enough chairs for people to sit.. Imagine if you are down with a fever and you got to stand and wait for your turn.. -_-""
Annoyed patients and flustered receptionists.. The scene is quite chaotic. Quite a few aunties were so annoyed, they started making a lot of noise. But apparently there is no use.. It only made the receptionists job even harder..
I do think that there are many redundant procedures.. Like why cant I just do registration and do away with pre-registration. And why cant the doctor draw my blood and send to test instead of asking me to go everywhere and keep waiting just to get my blood drawn..
Other than that, the worse was
BLOOD
Hurhur.. Scared.. By the time I was out, I was like dizzy and my hands and legs are freezing cold. I almost puked lor.. Arghhh.. Yup I have a phobia of blood.. The sight or even the thought of it makes me uneasy.. Thats why when people talk about bloodly stuff, I will cover my ears and run away.. To people who like to tease me and keep talking about bloodly stuff, its really quite bad.. You all are damn bad to me lor.. Next time when you all do that, dont blame me if I puke at you..
Hurhur.. But luckily the nurse who drew blood for me treated me like a kid.. I think she can see that I am uneasy.. Thanks nurse..
But in the end, my rashes are unexplained.. So weird..
