day at polyclinic

DAY AT POLYCLINIC[with huiling]

it gonna be long, i hope that you have the patience to finish it. :)

PART 1

reached there about 2pm. got a number at waited at for registration. number was 2372. time passed really really slowly. after an hour or so, number still have not appeared on the board. was going crazy soon. i mean, it just a stupid REGISTRATION!! waited for an hour plus before being called.

PART 2

went up to the 2nd storey and waiting outside the door for the doctor. i seriously feel that the time spent should be on waiting for the doctor to see you than for waiting for registration. also waited for around an hour. time didn't do too slowly this time. we were flipping through palmplets and magazines that i could get my hands on. all about health. learnt a little about smoking too. doctor was a trainee. quite young. 20 plus, i guess. he sent us down to another counter and the pharmacy.

PART 3[best part of all]

waited at the counter that was assigned by the doc. stupidly waited there because the sign said something like " we will call your name and you can proceed to the counter." while wondering why we were not called for what felt like a long time, we saw a guy with his hand wrapped up, or rather bandaged up. i noticed the injury. i was pretty bad, nasty too. it was not just a fracture. it was practically DIS-LOCATED! understand how people came up with this term? it means that it's not located in the right place. okay, this guy's pinky[little finger] was OUT-OF-PLACE. gosh, i could immediately feel the nasty-ness. but somehow, we burst out laughing. not at the poor guy. i think it was more of my reaction when i saw it. i gave him a name. "the pinky guy". after the laughter, we realised that we were supposed to go to the pharmacy 1st. so much for waiting there.

PART 4

bloody hell many people in pharmacy. had to take number again. and yup, you guessed it. wait again. this time the number was 8395[can't really remember the 1st 2 numbers.]. and guess what? we saw the pinky guy again. for some reason, we burst again. was practially LOL-ing in front of many people. the kind of laughter where it becomes slient and that your tummy starts ti ache? go try it. i hope the poor guy didn't realised that he made us laugh. he was our entertainment. better than the tv. HAHAHA. okayy, medication and payment time. i totally went nuts after that. the toal fee was $5. consultation fee: $4,30. you do the math. how much did the medication cost? 70 cents. BIG time W-T-H. i spent a freaking 3 hours plus of my life just to get a 70cents tube of cream?!?! arghhh!!! mad mad mad.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i split it into 4 parts because those were the different parts of waiting time. i know that many people have already complained about the long waiting time at polyclinics so i'll not add on to it.

anyway, when i was walking towards the tennis courts, i found a smirk on my face. i think you can guess what i was thinking.
