All Things Well

When was the last time I updated? Even I can't remember. It seems long.

Today I felt slightly nervous. Many things went through my mind. What if it's confirmed? What can I do or what SHOULD I do? It's been a few months after the ns check up at CMPB and I got to go for a 2D echocardiocolography test, as my heart, deviates towards the left side of my chest.

I missed the first appointment, as such, my next appointment, which is today, was at Khoo Teck Phuat Hospital. Dad was nice to send me there, despite having to work. The hospital is semi-operational for only a month or two.

On one side of the building is built and furnished, the other can be seen with yellow helmets walking around. I was slightly early for an 8.40 appointment so I sat at a bench, which faced the half built building.

It was like a show of many BOB the builders playing a skit only to be shown, on a construction site. I felt that somehow construction workers in singapore lacks recognition from the local people. I mean they are the ones who paved our roads, linked our pipes and build our buildings. At the least a group photograph of them shall be placed at the building for appreciation?

Anyhow, time finally ticks to 8.40 and I head to clinic 53 for the echo scan. I was told to removed my shirt and then the doctor pasted three round tape on various parts of my chest.

Afterwhich, she used an equipment that looks like a nintendo wii console rub filled with lubricant and started scanning my chest. I was like oh Wow lubricant, if u noe what i mean. Lol.

At first I felt a tingling and cooling sensation and then there's the pain. She pushed the equipment into my chest. I was like "oh fuk can u please stop pushing it in", then it came to my mind she's juz doing her job. Hence, I just bite my teeth and wait for everything to be over.

I was lying on the left side and the equipment on my left thus I couldn't see what was going on. All i can hear is my heartbeat. It was pretty loud. Like thu dum! thu dum! thu dum! So i tried to hold my breath to lower my heartbeat, in case she thought I'm excited, which I'm leaning more towards what's gonna happen next.

It took ard an hr for the entire scan. The doctor told me that my heart was normal and that the scan at CMPB can be inaccurate at times. I was like Thank God! I'm fine. But then again if the scan at CMPB is the bottle neck, I think they should implement six sigma to improve the processes and minimize variabilities from occurring.

The doctor says I'm either Pes A or Pes B. Hurray!
