Last time I was suffering from hyperthyroidism that led to bulging eyes with occasional lower eyelid lashes tilted inward. It brushed my cornea and caused infection. I went to TTSH and the trainee doctor called his boss and was given 2 eyes oilments to be applied every hourly. One of the oilment expired within an hour of dispensing to me. Not only I was deprived of rest with the hourly application, my eye became red swollen. I called to ask for clarification. The doctor return my call and said if I don’t do as instructed, she would have me warded and have the nurse do it hourly. Finally when I returned for follow up, I was carrying a cooler box to store the 2 oilment and continued to apply every hourly. When the doctor saw me, he told me to stop cos my eye was ozzing pus beside being red swollen: overdose.
When I had another similar cornea infection, I went to SGH instead. The lady professor proposed to cut my ear lobes to attach to my lower eyelids so the lashes won’t tilt inward.
I told her No Thanks. I don’t want to be her Guinea pig and turn into a monster.
Whenever I feel uncomfortable at the eye, I will check and pluck hair that is sticking inward. A simple solution and never suffer another infection since. Also I started to take mixed vegetables fruit juice weekly and my hyperthyroidism is healed without medication and my bulgy eyes are better now.
My comprehensive health screen revealed one of my breast has “cells coming together” and was urged to seek professional opinion. I went to kkh and was ordered mammogram. I told the lady doctor I must had one for the health screening. She said she needed it. In all, she sent me for 2 more mammograms under her and 3 in total in less than a year. Luckily, she found nothing alarming and discharged me. I m still fine to this day cos I took the weekly mixed vegetables fruit juice.
Over at TTSH, the doctor ordered for biopsy of my thyroid 3 times and all the different radiologists attending to me refused to do it. TTSH doctor didn’t tell me why. He sent me to SGH to do a radioactive test without telling me and just said TTSH didn’t have this machine. After the test, he ordered me to surgically remove my thyroid. I disagreed cos without proof from biopsy, it might not be cancerous as he deemed. He said as my doctor, he ordered me to do the surgery. That was the last time he saw me. I retired to jb and Stopped medication. I’m fine to this day.
I booked for the first slot at the national
Skin Centre. I was late by 10 minutes. I waited until lunch time and it seem no more patient was waiting. I saw doctors nurses leaving for lunch. I went up to the registration counter and the staff there said since I was late, I had to wait. She said she didn’t process for me yet and my file is still sitting on the counter behind her.
This is sg doctors, Unprofessional, Abusive and worst of all, they aren’t skilled in their field. Only cares to make us their Guinea pig.
Luckily I delivered both my kids in usa and had the best of care with truly skillful professional doctors and know sg are thrash.
