report sick

Received my reservist letter a few months ago. Actually it was medical review notified via reservist letter.

So yesterday I rushed from NTU to MMI at DSO@Kent Ridge, which is within NUS. Did 2 x-ray on my right foot. Then went in to see the doctor, who is a complete jerk.

Doc: Your x-ray doesn't show a fracture, so I'm going to upgrade you to PES B.
Chow: According to the specialist from Tan Tock Seng Hospital, x-ray can only show normal fracture, not stress fracture. You need bone scan to see stress fracture.
Doc: ...

Doc: it cannot be 3 years and it hasn't healed.
Chow: the specialist said stress fracture won't heal as good as a normal fracture.
Doc: then what did your specialist say?
Chow: told me to rest and let it heal.
Doc: if you jump and play basketball every 5 minutes, of course it won't heal.
Chow: if I don't walk for 3 years, maybe it will heal.
Doc: ...

Doc: so do you have a bone scan?
Chow: recently don't have.
Doc: why not?
Chow: so expensive.
Doc: you mean money cannot earn back ah?
Chow: you pay me is it?

I've never liked the SAF Medical Corps. The medics are ok, cos they are just NSF. The baddies are the medical officers. What the hell, the first thing that comes to their mind when serviceman see them is the serviceman is trying to fake. Hello? Are they real doctors or what? Has the army uniform taken their sanity away? And the one that I saw yesterday, why I feel like I know more than he, a doctor, does? Oh, maybe he specialises in dealing with impotence. His own? Then he's a lousy one I guess.

I'm not blaming the army for my injury, but at least they should understand that there IS an injury on my bloody right foot. I've lost so much, my love for trekking, running, marathon, and my dream. For goodness sake I wanted to sign on as Guards officer and now you think I chao keng! How do you feel when your dream is taken away then someone comes stepping on you.

Now, should I run and jump until a giant crack can be clearly be seen on the x-ray? Or should I turn to my dear Member of Parliament Mister Lee?
