Horror
Mr K refused to leave the place despite the fact that his appointment was rescheduled. Firstly, he was ultimately late for like 2 hours. Next, my appointment is blocked in the afternoon for nail surgery or special dressing. Hence, there's no way I can see Mr K.
He wasn't happy with the given date and kicking a big fuss just because he was some healthcare worker's relative.
Whatever la. I'm too nice.I've forced him onto my appointment list as last patient tomorrow. He can chose to wait for hours if he wants to.
Basically I'm already overloaded for tomorrow's booking.
Fug*
Mr high-profile rang and requested me to see his pt tomorrow. I have to reject his request. To be honest, I don't like his pts - too 'mangja' for God's sake. Always whining in front of the counter just because of long waiting period. I haven't got any choice but to explain to him that there's a Miss VIP tomorrow.Well, you can't rush when giving 'VIP' treatment!
Judging from the list, I don't even know what time to give pt.
Fug*
At this moment, I feel as though someone is holding a knife at my throat.

Woos and more sorrows
1) After complaining for the 3rd month of not having a functional mouse, I've got it today.......finally. Frigging hell that I have to endure that lousy piece of sh** mouse to click on patient Q-number.
2) Replying complain letters when they are not actually my patients simply because there are no one else to do it.
3) The plants almost died because the aircon was off on weekends.
4) My email was sent out with the designated email add. Somehow it landed into this Dr's mailbox. Checked my SENT folder, don't have his email add leh. Called up the IT guy and he said he will definitely investigate for that matter. Wah liew!! Zero privacy on the internal mailbox lor. I feel like digging a hole to hide my face inside.Gek sim +++.
Not saying I am writing some horrible facts or gossips but some direct views on patient's appointment issues. Still!! Not so pleasant for others to read , right?????

''Chiong" the weekend
Friday- I chilled out with a couple of friends at Clark Quay. Had dinner at this fantastic Jap-western cafe located on Level 3's Central. So lomantik!!! Dim lightings with old western style deco. Small victorian lamp on each table accompanied with lighted tea candles.Prices for the meals are affordable. At the end of the ordering, the waiter will pass you a big gold-plated 'key' where you are supposed to bring it along to foot the bill. Drinks over at Elephant pubs where we left once we felt the place was swarmped by a large group of old English Ah Puis (/Ah peks).
Sat- Helped the kids to do a foot screening check at a local disabled school. Seen about 10 over kids accompanied by their parents . It has been a wonderful experience which allow me to put my paeds skills into good use. Quite astonished to almost every kid that has been assessed is suffering from some form of foot disorders.
Clawed toes
corns for you Mdm?
Sun: Su, mom and myself met at Zouk for a fleamarket affair. Happening lor, my mom has just stepped into one of the hottest clubs in Sg. Thank goodness it wasn't organised in an open space. My skin is already chao-dah after skating on that particularly morning at ECP.
Happy customer as demonstrated below:-

Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
Few weekends ago, my dad made me drive all the way to Tuas buying 'cheap seafood and vegetables'. Wah didn't that sort of place so popular with AH pohs Ah peks. I witnessed how the fish was bashed up alive before putting it on a weighing scale. The sight of such cruelty made me lost my appetite on that night's dinner.
We hopeped back into the car and finally arrived at Sungei Buloh. Since my parents didn't want to pay for the entrance, we opt to walk along another trail which is approximately 2km long. Frigging hot that day la. Even Malay maciks kept on asking me like " What happened to my skin" on the next day when I get to work,
*********************
Bonous entry: Singaporeans are just plain rude rude rude!
How many times have I got patients walking into my consult room without knocking?
When you tell them it isn't their turn and take a sit , they said I'm the one who is rude.
What's worst, they walked in while my other patient is still in the room.
When they see a new practitioner, they chased after the nurses and said "how come got this new girl in here"
Excuse me, si mi new girl.
Mdm K was late for 1.5 hrs and she blamed it on the bus system. Why must I entertain people during my lunch time?I told my receptionist either she takes new appointment or come in after lunch. Mdm K wasn't happy and even tore up the referral form. Wah!

Hello Hello
I received , in fact, many calls from the nurses of xx discipline asking for earlier appointment for the patient or if they can send their patients down right at the very moment for me to followup instead of making another appointment.
Nurse: " Hi Miss FF, I understand that you got a lot of patients booked in advanced. Can I just send one patient down for you to see?"
Me: " I'm sorry you can't. There are already quite a number of patients waiting at the area. Maximum waiting time is 2-3 hours. How? "
Nurse:" Oh like that uh. But patient need to be seen urgently so if you can't see her today means she has to call appointment centre and wait for another 2 months is it?"
Me:" Of course. You know that I'm fully booked with patients in advanced. If there's anything more urgent than you think , you can ask your Dr to talk to me instead. Otherwise, I'm not able to hold on the line longer as I've got a patient sitting right infront of me now."
Can't stand talking to people without putting their thinking caps on. Seriously, I'm mounted with patients everyday. It doesn't really make a difference if I see more or less patients from xx discipline. Pay will be the same, the workload is heavy enough, patients are constantly flowing in like running tap water, so why I should prioritise those big shots for their benefits. If the management can't forsee the need to meet the high demand for such services, there is nothing much I can do besides doing what I can.
Sigh, I don't even have the time to get Duofilm paint to zap off the wart on my foot. Knnccb lah!

Everyone wants a piece of me
Dr Dualuokun and Dr Smallloukun of xx discipline want me to set priority to see their patients at anytime because they are doing expensive treatments which need to follow up with me asap. Sounds like an emergency case? That's what they have been telling the patients so patients would in turn tell me about their 'urgency' and maybe hopefully, they can cut queue to be seen earlier than expected.
Those Drs are seriously driving me up to the walls.
Think about this:
Miss Alone is seeing patients from
-medical
-surgical
-Orthopaedic
-vascular
-polyclinic referrals
-private clinic referral
-rehabiliation unit
-A&E referral
On average I'm seeing 20 patients a day with 1/2 hour max consult time per person.
If I've allocated additional 3 patients from xx discipline with 1/2hr max consult time per person, that would also mean certain patients will have approximately 1 1/2 hr lag of waiting time prior seeing me.
Everyone should be treated and given equal opportunity to see any healthcare pracitioner. I don't see any benefit (except for theirs) except with the possibility of getting burnout. In addition, my assistant has no reason to stay back late as she's not entitled any OT pay.
Why are Drs are so like that??
ME vs 5 Drs from xx discipline is quite obvious there is only a limited amount of patients I can see per day.
I'm only a human being leh. knn......

PS cafe
KH brought me to a nice, lovely cafe near Dempsy Road.The place is more accessible by car than public transport itself. After watching the show 'Fracture', I insisted him to take me to somewhere where I've not been before. Poor KH's bachelor life will be kinda short-lived as his gf is coming down from somwhere in a few weeks' time to join him and work in Sg. Heh heh heh.
So many ang mohs here with a huge variety of wine selections......
We ordered a double choc kick-ass cake with tea. Such English teacups they've got there.

Last Fri, J asked me for a small favour to shop with him for a proposal ring -for his gf , of course.
*note to self: Man, I should stop hanging out with the Mr Takens and isn't I'm suppose to hang out with Mr Singles instead?
*eyes roll up*
Spiderman 3 is out today and most of the couples that I know will be watching it later. Are there nothing better else to do for most local couples besides eating and watching movies? Zzz!zzzzzz stuff it!

Deserves no respect from me
Mr Knn came in to have his treatment done. As I start to debride, he pulled back his leg and commented that it was painful. I've explained that he should have been here a month ago and the skin is so thick that I've put a little more force to cut it down.
Out of the blue, he flew his rage at me saying that "if someone use a knife and cut your foot then u tell me u feel the pain or not"
(yeah rigghhht, but aren't we talking about your foot. So much for his concerns)
"Just cut the top part can already lah. Don't dig"
( might as well don't cut in the first place... Looks like I've got myself a foot master here)
*Again, he jumped when I tried to hold his foot in a stabilising position*
ME: Now, I'm doing it slowly and if you feel the pain, just say STOP or else I may cut your foot or myself unnecessarily if you pull your leg away
" If you not happy don't do the job la. It's okay"
Me: *fumes*
Why is it so hard when you try to explain at your best and that person kept on pressing the negative influence on you?

有些人很喜欢打咳睡
I attended a wound care talk recently with special invitation from BBN company. Oh my, there are so many oldies around except for the youngthings like us (pods).
I suppose BBN co had cordially invited mainly the Drs, nurses and foot policemen for this seminar held near the Parliament house.
We chose to sit at the last row of the place. It's amazing to see some of the 'men' in the house opposite us who were dozing off to sleep in front of the speaker. J managed to capture part of the 'dozing segment' on a digi cam. For a moment, all my aussie mates were thinking how rude the locals are doing that. G wanted to take a pic of another guy whose body was leaning to one side and head tilting close to another fella's shoulder. BUT she forgot to off the flash mode when she snapped the pic.That was really attention seeking man...... We couldn't help but giggle among ourselves on and off.
Talking about kiasuism. When the talk was yet to be ended, a couple of the lao ren start to make a move towards the buffet dinner.Gross!
Whatever it is, I had a good time with the mates plus free flow of red wine.
*peace*

The night on the weekdays
Reading a book, on my little blue reading lamp next to my bedside, listening to class 95PM in my air-conditioned bedroom.
I realised I've yet to adapt to watch TV in the living room just because of the humidity. The fact is I can't even sit in front of the plasma TV for more than 30mins , or else I'll start to perspire.
I don't even have the energy to think about 'pak -toh'. Sounds like a loser eh?

Express weekend recap
"Let's meet 1 pm for rollerblading at East Coast Park lah," suggested by friend who works as a PE teacher.
"Heng-nah Heng-nah," * starting to assume it's gonna be super duper hot weather. True enough, I'm 'or peh' (tanned skin) within minutes of my rollerblading session.
Moving on to my 3rd month of stay in Sg, I do find certain number of local clients of mine are rather entertaining.
On the positive note, they DO make my work more interesting and lively.
Very often, I always get comments or questions like these from my pts:
* Dr uh, can I swim even if I got ulcers on my legs*
* Dr uh, I want to get shoes but I don't want to pay now lah. I'm sure medical social worker will approve my subsidy*
* Dr uh, why you cut the dressing so big? Just cut small small pieces can already*
* Dr uh, why the shoes so ugly? Not so nice to walk when I already got a huge dressing on my foot. Got any other colours?*
Medical-surgical shoes are often supplied for patients with large wound dressing or post operation dressing on their foot. The shoes allows them to self-adjust depending on the size of bandaging on foot.
**note: No matter how much I emphasized to pts I am not a Dr, there is always a tendency that they have forgotten about it. 0_O
************
I've noticed that a lot of FEMALE Drs in the wards are wearing terrible shoes. How on earth can their feet survive walking around in their low/high heels shoes whole day everyday.
Sorry to say to all the high heel lovers. Those shoes will only make your toes to increase the 'gripping' action and thus, hammer toes can start to form in the later stages of life (mainly).
Callus and corns may start to develop on the retracted toes with excessive pressures or ill-fitting shoes. hurhur.
That's probably where my bling will start rolling into my practice next time.
*evil laughs* heh heh heh

Last Saturday, I met up with Shan having big American (yo!) breakky at TCC (don't what it stands for).
As we were walking towards City Hall, there's this Olay roadshow going on. And this strickly thin girl came up and asked if we would like to have a free face massage, free mini makeover and a free photoshoot.

The winner for the photoshot gets to win $1k plus also get a chance to be on Cleo covergirl!
After finishing all the stations, we got home with some freebies from Olay! heh heh heh.
Olay Sensation for Ms Lek
Ready for the olay challenge?Since Ms Lek has a special deal for hotel stays, Su and myself decided to make use of this fantastic opportunity to stay at Swissotel Stamford. I had one of the best views facing towards Clark Quay and CBD area. Swam at the 8th floor open pool with so many ang mohs around. Had a big breakky buffet varies from western styles to congee.
Swissotel for 2
Prefect view -I love it!
What's more I can ask for such a beautiful night and a glass of French wine *burp*

So frigging pissed with my DAD!!! The door lift crushed my Easter choc bunny when I was entering. How can he do this to me????

Justification wanted
Why should a Dr order 3 tubes of Iodosorb ointment (each cost approximately $20.64) on someone with a gangrene foot? Not as if the ointment will debride the eschar (black scab) or 'suck' onto the wound bed or provide a moist wound base.
The sad part is he/she is on subsidy basis during hospitalization. I just can't imagine what would the bills be like upon discharged.
Any health care professionals ought to be more tactful when certain interventions/treatments are issued for low- income patients.
Afterall, who wants to see healthy patients being discharged while having worrying hearts on the huge amount of billings accumulated since hospital admission.
*************************
I haven't get a chance to start a war with any Drs yet.I anticipated it's just a matter of time. But what annoys me at the moment is I'm getting too many referrals from disciplines mainly from orthopaedics, endocrine, surgical, medical to sports medicine.
Can anyone tell me if heel pain is an urgent case or not??? If it's so urgent then your folks to ortho drs and have Z-plasty at the archilles or plantar fascia reconstuctions lah! ( I may be bullshitting on the latter).
The Drs here are like, the higher level they attained , the lower their EQ.
Tsk tsk.

Dan Ku Ku ( in hokkein - means wait very long)
As you can see me being the only sole foot pracitioner in the xxx organisation, I'm working doubly (or rather triply) hard to accomodate all the patients booked in that day. Unlike in polyclinics, there are several drs working together to control the massive crowds of patients.
It is not unusual the patients still have to wait for their turns to be seen despite of long waiting hours.
For the last couple of days, I'm sinking into no-lunch-breaks habit due to overloading of clients that have been booked in much earlier. Patients ended up making noises at the counters and complained why do they have to wait for more than 2 hours for their appointments. *blah blah blah*. Surprisingly, I also do have a couple of patients who really appreciate the services and doesn't mind about the hours of wait. Amazing.
Especially for all the patients, this would my top 10 list -of -things to do while waiting for your Queue number to be flashed on screen:
1) Once you obtain your queue number, check with your receptionist how many more patients prior your turn. Then you can choose to approximate your time to do your stuffs while waiting.
2) Go have breakfast, brunch, or lunch but making sure that you don't end up returning late to the clinic.
3) Bring your own newspaper from Straits time to Lian He Zao bao and Newpaper. If you can afford to bring all 3 , better still as one cannot tell exactly if the appointment is to be seen on time or not.
4) Get an ipod or Mp3 player to kill the boredom
5) Get a few friends to come and play boardgames
6) Internet wireless for surfin online (You tube, entertainment websites etc..)
7) Do your own manicure or pedicure in a toilet cubicle
8) Pacing up and down - I guess that's what most locals enjoy doing .Not bad, maybe can also help to improve the blood circulation by abit
9) Do crossword puzzle or sodoku (?spell)
10) Continue to wait and practise meditation ;p Ouhmmmmmmmmmmm.

Why men in my family won't listen
My pa is a 50yish plump 'old' man who is putting himself at risk of heart disease and diabetes melluitis with his crappy diet.
I've educated him on his diet regime (ya know simple things like, eat with good proportion amount, have meals at regular timing, eat more vegs less meat....etc)
The hardest part is to get his butt up and exercise. I don't know how many times I have said to him that one day, all my earnings will be spent on your multiple disease treatments.From then I will end up being an old hag coz' no timeout for myself. hurhur.
I don't know what else I can do to help. Pa is not a little kid but seems to take health for granted. Sigh*
The other man in my family is my bro who is currently in his early 20s. Execeptionally ignorant and childish I must say. Told him the importance of using sunscreen on his premature winkling but he insisted that it's too thick.
Wah liew, not as if asking him to apply the KAYA on his face what.
Sigh* Don't know la. Maybe ignorance is a bliss.

You've been warned
During one of the meetings, the supervisor brought up the topic on blogging. He emphasized that anyone who blogs in this xx organisation should be done discreetly and ensured that all written contents should not have directed to the organisation itself.
Just because someone in some departments so 'buay zi dong '(inconsiderate), his/her blog was found out by a customer who was astonished to read on how the blog was written in such a factual manner.
*sigh* ccb to that he-she lah.
I enjoy blogging leh....how!?!?

I'm thankful for each day that has passed without any rubbish clients. Most of the time, I do think that most Singaporeans seem to be like living in a big box. So secured and comfortable. What's worst, they have been Pampered And Pampered (;p) so much.
During one of the meetings, the supervisor brought up the topic on blogging. He emphasized that anyone who blogs in this xx organisation should be done discreetly and ensured that all written contents should not have directed to the organisation itself.
Just because someone in some departments so 'buay zi dong '(inconsiderate), his/her blog was found out by a customer who was astonished to read on how the blog was written in such a factual manner.
*sigh* ccb to that he-she lah.

Childhood Peng Yew (friend)
I discovered my childhood friend , who is a medical officer, works at the same hospital at me!!Fwah, probably I've not seen her since our last PSLE exam.
HURHUR.
Since I need an antibiotic prescription for a diabetic patient who suffered from ingrown toenail with pus oozing out +++, I knocked on her door and politely greeted Dr Tay.
To sidetrack a little, getting Drs to write an antibiotic prescriptions for my patients can be quite a pain in the a**. Some may do it kindly. Some may want you to suck up. Some even want to charge patients consultations for just the prescriptions.
Me: Hi Dr Tay! Is it ok with you to prescribe some antibiotics for this diabetic patient with ingrown toenail plus pus ++.
I got pic to show you
*pose the ingrown pic on my digicam to her*
Dr Tay: Oh, ok. No allergies uh.
Me: No, he doesn't have any. *wide grin*
Dr Tay: eh you look familar leh. Are you from RG Pri?
Me: uh, you look familar too. But I wasn't sure if you are the person whom I know.
Dr Tay: Your looks still the same. That's why I can recognise you.
Me: *HEEHEE* We'll catch up again soon.
My Sk2 beauty therapy is sure working its way.
