Medical Appointment
This morning I had a medical appointment at the National Eye Centre. Nothing serious, just that I have some atopic syndrome (allergic hypersensitivity) that kept on bothering my eye, making them red and/or itchy, etc.
I was told (by another doctor) that its all in a "package", usually involving eczema, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and asthma. I have of them except of eczema. -___-"" Dreadful isit?
So I just went to the eye centre to have my eyes throughly checked, making sure that my eyes are misbehaving because of allergy and nothing more. :)
Despite having made a appointment, the wait was quite long. I had to wait like 45 minutes for my turn to do the pre-consultation evaluation tests. Although it was barely nine in the morning, the human traffic there was already rather heavy, mostly elderly patients accompanied by the children or spouses or middle-aged adults. Soon after the evaluation tests, I managed to see the consultant, and more checks are done on my eyes.
All in all, within a short few hours visit there, I spent a total of $46/-. $31 on the evaluation tests and consultation, $15 on a bottle of eye drop!!!! Very expensive! Almost fainted.
But looking on the brighter side of things, its lucky that I only have to pay the subsidised amount. The full rate for the evaluation tests and consultation are a whopping $74!
I finally finally managed to enable the comments by editing the html! Woohoo~!
