Right now quite tired...
Morning 8 woke up by alarm, laid back a lil then dajiu called. Went down to wait for him to drive me to erjiu house, then we drove to A @ NTFH. Throughout the ride, we were discussing how difficult it is getting, given the current condition erjiu is in... the school need him to submit MC, the hospital wants him to attend physio, keep sending him for doctors' appointments but dont really give us advice or explain to us more regarding his current condition.
Took our Q, then waited for like 10 to 15 minutes, then it's our turn with the nurse receiving us. Today is the doctor appointment for General Surgery... Upon entering the room, can see the guy doctor and two interns sitting behind him, 1 female 1 guy. This guy doctor didnt greet us when we enter, just staring into his screen, and we have to wait for him to turn his head to face us amid the awkward silence in the room.

English convo in Blue, Chinese convo in Aqua
Doctor (to erjiu): "Uncle, do you feel stomach pain?"
**Dajiu & me both looked puzzled**
Doctor (to erjiu): "During your hospitalisation, we found out that your stomach has bleeding. So we have to check if there's still bleeding going on. Is your stool comes with blood or is it black?"
**Sees that the interns were nodding intensely**
Doctor (to erjiu): "Is your stool comes with blood or is it black?"
Erjiu: *Shakes his head* "Nope"
Doctor (to dajiu & me): "We may need to undergo a Gastroscopy to find out if his stomach is still bleeding, depending on what signs he has now"
**Inside my head thinking: Hmmm no head no tail this doctor**
Me: "You mentioned that this bleeding was found during the time he was hospitalised? None of the doctors mentioned anything...??"
Doctor: Ohh, it's not like we will say everything at one go. There are certain things that we don't reveal.
**Inside my head: Dafug is this? Sibei rude**
Me: "Ohhh i see.."
Doctor (to erjiu): If the signs are okay, I think we don't have to arrange the Gastroscopy to save your convenience ba
Erjiu: ....
**I then looked over at the interns, LOL they were always nodding only**
(And then looked at dajiu) Me: "Perhaps we can talk about the doctor's memo and about his retirement letter with him?"
**I can feel Dajiu was unhappy and unwilling to talk already**
Dajiu:"Doctor, we will like to discuss and hope you can find him as much as possible"
Doctor:"What do you need?"
Dajiu:"Given his current condition, he most likely can only retire"
Doctor:"Oh why?"
Dajiu:"We need your assistance to help him to retire as he is unable to work."
Doctor: "Ya but why he dont go to work"
**Me at this point, really want slap his face le sia"
Me: "Erm doctor, we will like to discuss regarding his current condition, and hope you can help us on helping to settle him down for his retirement"
Doctor: "Ya I know, but why he dont work?"
Me: "Okay, he was hospitalised and got a stroke. So he is unable to work because of this"
**Interns nodding intensely**
Doctor: "He cannot walk?"
**Me feeling nani dafug, he is sitting on this wheelchair to see you, what do you think sia??**
Me: "Yes, thats why. He cant walk which affect his mobility a lot, so he can only stay home unless we help."
Doctor: "Then you not at home?"
**Wah seriously asking a bit too much?**
Me: "No. I don't stay with him."
Doctor: "Why?"
Me: "I am his nephew?"
**Wah this doctor got no brain seriously. Did he even look at my uncle's medical history at all?!**
Doctor: "Okay if you don't even know what help you need, how you expect us to help you right? I am only here today for his stomach bleeding condition, and primarily focus on this today. You should be talking to his lead consultant on this kind of matter, and also find the social worker for financial assistance right?"
Dajiu: No, we didnt get to see the lead consultant at all
Doctor: Are you sure?
Dajiu: Yes, the last time we saw him was before his discharge from hospital
Doctor: Okay that's funny. You got a appointment with the doctor in April, we can try to help reschedule your appointment in April to this month. And we can only help you to get MC for his absence from work. For the rest you talk to the consultant.
Me: Okay so we get to see the consultant right?
Doctor: Yeaah
Nurse: Yes, we will arrange for you.
Doctor: Okay if nothing can go wait outside
All: .....
So we waited outside, feeling absurd at this appointment.
The nurse came to us after awhile, telling us about the rescheduled appointment.
Me (checking the doctor's name): Hi Miss, I think there's a mistake here. I think the lead consultant is Ms Tan *** ***, and not this doctor in this list. This doctor we saw him two weeks back, we havent met this consultant for a long time.
Nurse: Oh like that, how about you try arrange with her through this hotline? We can only help you schedule or reschedule.
Me: Ahh... i see.
Nurse: If you want to talk about financial assistance, you can find the social worker that helped you before.
Me: Ah okay. But we will like to find the consultant because of the insurance claim and getting recommendation or feedback regarding uncle condition and regard to his working life.
Nurse: I see, the best bet is to call for an appointment through this hotline. Btw, regarding the MC how long do you need?
Me: Okay thank you very much
Dajiu: I think the longer duration the better
Nurse: Okay I need to check with the doctor
Lol. This nurse is so much better than this useless doctor.

We left the hospital with unhappy feelings.
Dropped by uncle workplace to submit the MC, the staffs expressed their concern for him.
After that we drove to nearby de kopitiam, then went to buy oranges.
Drove back to uncle house, told dajiu i can handle the rest, rest assure and go work bah.
So i helped carry his wheelchair into house and set up the home altar because it was 初一
So have to pray pray haha..
After that I also went home, because also have to pray pray.
Then I bathed and ate lunch after done with the pray pray.
Rest awhile more and then left for national stadium to work part-time.
Tonight is Maroon 5. So I am doing beer pouring at this stall, end up I am an expediter & pourer of the day lolol. As 3 cashier machines were opened instead of all 4, so I dont have a cashier with me. So I assist all the cashiers alongside with their pourer and expediter. Ended around 10:15pm then pack up and went home.
