Back from the doctor

I just went to see the doctor, I think I am going to make him my doctor from now on. Cos he gave me two days mc.

I have two doctors that I visit for my medicine - one at blk 105 and the other at blk 215. I prefer the 215-doctor anytime but it is the 105-doctor who could give me the correct migraine medicine. Further more, 215-doctor charges more.

But I always prefer 215-doctor. Probably because he asks less questions.

It is always annoying to be asked tens of questions when all you want is a mc, medicine and the immediate chance to crawl back to bed.

The 105-doctor is young and eager I guess, but please dont be, to me, when I am absolutely lethargic like I am now.


105-doctor : Hi, how are you?
Kanigi : Not very good, my migraine doesnt seem to stop coming back, but your medicine is great. It always does wonders to suppress the pain.
105-doctor : I see, so how are you feeling?
Kanigi : I dunno, the migraine problem is still here, the floor seems to be dancing, and I feel someone is wringing the insides of my head.
105-doctor : Floor dancing?
Kanigi : (troubled) It is like, say you look at the line where the walls and the floor joins, and the line is trembling, jumping in momentums... Something like large scale heartbeats.
105-doctor : Hmmm? Hmm... Oh ok. How about objects?
Kanigi : (realised doctor dont quite catch colourful language) See everything also a bit blur.


10-20 more questions later...

105-doctor : (satisfied) Oh, I'll give you mc for today, and the migraine medicine.



On the other hand, 215-doctor is precise and to the point.

215-doctor : How are you today?
Kanigi : Headache and bouts of nausea.
215-doctor : Sleeping well?
Kanigi : No! My working hours are tiringly long, and my travelling time to and fro is 3 hrs a day (2.5 hours but rounding up always help exaggerate the issue).


Doctor shone a torch in my eyes and gave a small shake-head. I know my eyes sparkle when I am in a good mood, and clouds over when I am feeling lousy. I bet doctor saw the silver lining just now.


215-doctor : Gosh, I'll give you 2 days mc, please catch up on your sleep.
Kanigi : (thankful for the speedy diagnose) As much as I can afford.



Straightforward = good. Actually if the doctor gave me just one day mc I wouldnt have minded also. All I want is to cover my ass for today.

(Even when the sucky job is not covering my medical expenses.)
