Armistic Hospital

I had brought my mom to CGH quite many times for her to do the Endoscope procedure.
This morning had to do the same.

Reached there just before 9am. Early bird doesn't have early worms. Still wait wait wait.
Anyway, first, my mom wanted to 'geng' by telling the doctor she still have some cough here and there.
So the doctor ordered another X-Ray to be taken, and also do the blood test to see if there's any possible inflammation happening inside her.

The results all came back ok. So she has to go through the procedure. hahaha
That was around 1045hrs. Not so bad right?

Then waited.
Waited.
Past noon, then they came to bring her into the operating room for the procedure.
Pretty fast actually. Came back within 20 mins.

Results: The past few procedures appear to have smoothen her intestines, less chance of internal bleeding for now. At least not so bad.
And best, this is the first time she didn't need to be admitted in hospital after the procedure. :D

Then waited.
Waited.
2.50pm, asked the nurse can go back or not.
Nurse replied said just gotten the next appointment information, and then delay a bit before downloading all information to me regarding next steps.

OK. Need to do an Ultrasound on Thursday, then some blood test.
Then need to see the doctor at the clinic at end of the month.

Then went to the pharmacy to get medicine.

Got the queue number.
Then waited.
Waited.
4pm. Oooooh. Some medicine not available at that pharmacy. They need to send despatch to get from the other pharmacy.
Whatever.

After taking the medicine, went to the cashier for payment.

Ahhhhhh. Si beh heng siah.
They got problem scanning the barcode. After verifying with whoever, came back to tell me some items cannot be billed together with the Endoscope procedure, and need to pay by cash.
Ahhh. Whatever lah. Just tell me how much to pay, pay money also need to take like half an hour.

Finally can leave the place around 4.30pm ...

Make me feel like in the army ... ...
