Back from Penang

I'm back!



Tired and happy.

Now, i'm officially broke like a pauper.


I am wishing for money would grow on tree for me to pluck.



Since money is a limiting factor, i don't think i can go anywhere else for the next two weeks. Well maybe just some occasional yamcha sessions, some shopping trips in town, the rest of the time, i think i shall rot at home.



****************************************

Just back from Penang, i found out that mom had a knee injury! Scared the shit outta me because she can't walk at all! Luckily Snoopy is around to help or else i think i'll just helplessly broke down and don't know what to do-.-" yes i feel like i am hopeless too



At last managed to send mom to the hospital, took an x-ray and the rude and probably stupid doctor diagnosed the case as "knee pain"


Well, hello? isn't obvious? If not pain go see doctor for what? What we want to know is WHAT causes the "knee pain" la, idiot! That doctor (is a she) didn't even LOOK at my mom's leg throughout the whole time!


She: what's the matter? (in hokkien)
Mom: Dunno why my knee very pain can't walk la doctor
She: Got fall down? Previously got injury before?
Mom: No. Today i mop the floor half way then like that liao. Yesterday still can walk ler
She: (know it all tone) Oh, you kneel down and mop ler?
Mom: NO la i use the stick mop de
She: OK, go take x-ray at Room 6


As if we live in the hospital all our life and automatically should know where ROOM 6 is!



After taking the x-ray film, we head back to give to the doctor, who just take a glance at it and prescribe my mom to take an injection and instruct my mom to meet her ONE HOUR LATER.


Even Snoopy was not impressed by her. One look at the prescription Snoopy explain to mommy that it is a very strong painkiller. At least now we know why are we taking injection-.-"




So we had to lepak AT hospital for one hour before can go see her lor.



ONE HOUR LATER, we go see her. Snoopy wheeled mom in while me and bro stay outside and wait because they don't allowed so many people go in at a time to avoid human congestion. Go in see her LESS THAN ONE MINUTE SNOOPY ALREADY WHEELED MY MOM OUT!


I was so surprised and i asked Snoopy why so fast??? According to Snoopy, the doctor just diagnosed the case as "knee pain" and instruct them to take drug at the counter.


She make all of us wait for what i perceived as un-needed additional ONE HOUR just for her to diagnosed mom with "knee injury" and prescribe drugs that are only to be taken when pain is felt. WTH????



Snoopy sarcastically conclude that the doctor need ONE HOUR to think what type of drugs to prescribe out ma, dang!



Ironic isn't it, mommy's flesh and blood all waited outside while my dear Snoopy, is the one accompany mom all the time? Hahaha nola not because we are bad kids la, simply because Snoopy knows a thing or two about medical ma compared to me and bro. Some more Snoopy got more energy than me to control the wheel chair... that's all.
