Trip to polyclinic for referral... N a piece of good news

Finally I moved my butt to Yishun Polyclinic in the afternoon for my referral... There's really not much of people around but the Doc I was assigned to encountered some problems I guessed... The queue did not move for an entire hour and by the closing time, he actually still had 4 more patients while the rest of the Docs had already wrapped up...

Don't worry, I was not the last patient or rather I was not supposed to be the last patient. I was called back after I left the clinic because the Doc decided to alter his referral and add one on-site test. From 1 referral to General Medicine became 2 referrals. 1 to GM and the other to Ortho. On-site test is ESR and he actually ask if I will like to do an ECG... Since I was given the honour of making my choice on the ECG, of course I rather not do it, at least not under that lab.

I will be informed of my appointment at GM in a few days but I think the Ortho side will have to wait till August, unless they determine that my condition is critical or had worsen. The ESR is at my convenience which I will be doing on coming Saturday if I manage to wake up on time... Still got to see a Doc to record my results and make sure that I don't need to go for further screening on autoimmune diseases... Anyway, what had prompted him to do the test despite of remote possibility was that he couldn't feel my veins on my calves and feet.

And because of my complaint about sharp pain on my right calf, I was referred to Ortho in case it was not vascular based problem. Referral to GM was because the symptoms were too vague and widespread to be able to direct to a particular specialist. The list could have gone from Cardiac, ENT, Endocrine to vascular and some others which I cannot remember... So to save the trouble, let the GM clinic screen and decide on the specialist(s) which I should be referred to. Anyway, I guessed by the time they screened me, I might be back to my normal self hahaha...

Enough of the medical stuff... Some of you would have gotten an SMS from me... I got accepted into NTU, Psychology! Still no news from NUS yet and for NTU, I still got about a month to think about it. Wonder should I accept, accept and defer or reject... Hahaha I guessed I will be hit on my head by some of you if I really reject it.

Ok guessed that's all for now... A bit tired from typing... Will share more about some books that I have read or reading next time and most probably will be going shopping again soon hahaha... Must spend more wisely and with more control if I am going back to Uni this coming Aug...
