R.ship b/w a doc and ippt
EARLY in the morning, a clerk from my camp called me to book my IPPT now or I might get charged. Charged as in punished under military law which I don't study and hence, won't be able to find loopholes to exploit. Damn it. And they want me to cross the island in the midst of my exam period to endorse any doc's letter I get.
Being the obedient citizen soldier I am (it feels weird juggling military and civilian life), I made a trip to CGH to settle this matter once and for all. Ok, so for 10 mins inside, the doc insisted that it was nothing and the ligament would heal in no time. 10 days excuse. Ahem.. I can bet all my underwear that in a months' time, I still wouldn't be able to run, much less 10 days. 10 mins in the consultation room and guess what, the bill is $75. I tried to calm myself down by explaining to myself that the wonder gel they gave me is indeed wonderful. The gel would heal all kinds of ailment and even prolong my life by 10 years! $75 is indeed worth it!
When I came home, I chucked the gel one side.
My point is, it is obvious that my foot cannot support me running or jumping. The doc refused to give me a longer excuse and tossed me to let his specialist colleague handle in 3 weeks' time. Instead of settling my IPPT issue, I had to pay $75 for nothing. Horrors! Funny thing is the doc told me to sue SAF if I got injured while doing IPPT. I have a lawyer face. YAY! Yes, I paid someone $75 to tell me I have a lawyer face. ROAR!
Ok, back to the books.
