- What happens to you?
- I’m…
- That’s all? – Yes
- So what are you seeing me for?
- I’m feeling unwell that’s why… I want to recover…
- Oh you want Vitamins right? Ok you can wait outside.
Why on earth can a doctor ask his patient that kind of question??
I bet anyone will also feel great hearing his sarcastic questions & voice.
Why on earth can a doctor reject examining a patient after he said he’s “tired, lack of energy and wants more sleep”…
I can’t give you MC. MC is for “illness, sickness”. You’re not… If I give you, I’ll get into trouble with the Medical Council.
Before that, everytime I came & saw him, he was very nice. He asked briefly what happened to me then did an usual checkup. Of course, by the time I could go & see him, I already felt much better… So my body temperate would become more or less normal. So do everything else (this is also a problem with MC in Singapore – at least with me. I can’t see doctor when I’m really sick. When I can go, it’s when I already feel better). But he never said anything.
In the end, he always asked “Do you want MC?” – Yes. “How many days would you want”. I always said one day only but I supposed if I said 2 days, he would probably accept it.
What a hypocrite!

It turns out I probably did something wrong this time. I didn’t tell him any syndrome of “illness” so that he could examine me & give (or sell) me medicine.
By the way, I don’t intentionally `reject` his medicine. I won’t pay for it (using my money) anyway. As a matter of fact, I can claim it from my company.
I didn’t tell him I got “headache” or “sneezing” as normal because I’m really sick & I don’t want to get lots of same medicine every time…
Should he had just told me that (he wanna sell more medicine) in the first place, I would have followed & paid him more. I wouldn’t have had any troubles with my bosses as now it turns out I didn’t come to work without a MC.
Anyway, I still needa pay 30 bucks for a very rude “consultation” plus 10 dailyvit tablets.
Well done!

(After I asked, he unhappily did a real quick body checkup for me. After that, he said everything’s fine & offered me if I wanna do a blood test (which costs $70) since “you wanna do a checkup right? Since everything looks alright, you can do a blood test now). Of course, I rejected – partially because of the unnecessarily high cost – though I can claim it later anyway, the time it would take, but mainly because of his attitude & voice. I guess there must be something wrong… And I was right (though I didn’t really know until he refused to give me MC. I thought he was just having a bad day at work).

@Mabel & others’ comments:
Maybe you’re not Singaporean(!??) – Really?
Come on, of course I didn’t just tell him “I’m tired”. I did tell him “I’m not feeling well for the last few days”. I just didn’t tell him some sickness keywords mentioned above.
