I can't take it anymore, and therefore decided to rant about it. Labels: topics
Are all Singaporean mothers aspired to become a doctor when they were small?
"Mummy, I got cough."
I'm sure most Singaporean mothers will go to the kitchen and reach out one of the drawers to take medicine. These medicines often proves to be useless, and some mothers are kiasu to the state that they keep expired medicines at home (like mine).
"Mummy, I sprained my ankle today."
And again, Singaporean mothers will go to the same drawer and take out some medicated oil. They will try to become some Chinese Sinsehs and will use the medicated oil and rub against your sprained part. Then you will scream so hard that even the ones living on the highest storey will be able to hear you, and for once neighbours might thought that your mother abuses you. And on top of that, you can't walk properly for 1 month because of your wonderful Sinseh.
WHY DONT THEY TAKE US TO THE DOCTORS?!
Awhile ago, I was having a nose bleed. Though it's a minor one, the blood wont seemed to stop until hours later. One of my friend who studies medical(or somewhat similar course) told me that I was lacking of a clotting agent, and told me to see a doctor about it. I told my mum, and she gives me answers like "No lah, you are lacking of water. The weather is heaty, that's why you are having a nose bleed." Oh my... are you studying medical or he is?
So now, I dont bother to tell them if I'm sick or not. I just go to the polyclinic straightaway and tell the doctors about my condition.
