[050806] 5 days MC

The title says it all, i got 5 days MC from TTSH... today's my first day off... argghh... 12 working hours gone... sad... shit really happens... cut my hand while washing glass, on an aloha glass again... the last time i cut my hand (right hand as well), it was on an aloha glass as well...

Those glasses are damn fragile i tell you... i didnt even try to squeeze my hand into the glass... only like 3 fingers and the sponge for cleaning and while cleaning i didnt even use much force and the rim just broke... a wave of crimson immediately flowed... my first thought.. SHIT

So i just pressed the wound down and washed the blood off... i then looked at the wound but the blood just flowed... shit.. bryan was the first to see... told siti and heikel and went into kitchen... applied pressure by using tissues... in the end decided that i had to seek treatment... so off i went to TTSH with siti...

I didnt know that their outpatient treatment consultation fee of $70 included consultation fees, x-ray fees as well as any other medication and stuff... a package i would call it..

I visited an operating theatre in the hospital for the first time... somehow the operating theatre's very different from the picture i had... probably watched too much ER, SCRUBS and the many other medical dramas... the room was very spacious with the equipment all placed neatly on one side... the doctor that treated me was very pretty.. heh... Dr Michelle Lim... heh.. she's got the very American Born Chinese look... *swoons*

Anyways... i got to see her do up the stiches.. she commented that most people would choose to look away while she did stiching but then again, it's not everyday you get to see a doc stiching you up.. so why not? im not squirmism by the sight of blood anyway... and i must say it feels kinnda weird to see the needle going thru your flesh and then the doc pulling the stich thing throught the wound and closing it... got my 2 stiches but i think she didnt inject the anesthetic in the correct place cause it still hurt when the curve needle went thru my wound.. ouch.. and all she asked was, still painful? geez... thanks ah doc.. lol

Just finished chatting with grace over audio, video thingy... got to see her room in Aus and hear her voice... amazing huh... maybe i suaku lah... but wow... cool lah.. the stories she told me of how the students do their practicals there, i think our lectureres in SP would probably die if they were teaching there... 80 students to 4 Biosafety cabinets... that's seriously wrong lohz.. and considering she pays so much to study there... geez... come on back grace! haha...

Wondering what to do to pass time later... maybe continue reading my book... oooo... went to Carrefour's book clearance sale yesterday.. got myself 5 books for only $17, extremely good bargain considering that 2 of the books are by Jeffery Deaver and 1 is by Tom Clancy... the other 2 books are interesting, hope they prove to be good reads... what to do? i cant pass up a good bargain... too bad that it's too messy over there... extremely hard to go through all the books properly to find the rare finds...

gotta go.. take care all!
