Running For Health
By peace | April 20, 2008
Photograph taken on 18th April 2008, Ricsson went to see doctor
I brought my children to his clinic (above) since my children started kindergarten school. His clinic was 十年如一日(ten years look like one day, meaning every year looks the same, everyday for the past few years until now, there was no much improvement, not much changes. Of course there are ‘trivial’ changes, but we are not concerned about his clinic, but I am more concerned about his medical practice, his care for my children.
My sister was once his patient, but later she stopped. I am not his patient too, but only my children.
Medical Clinic/Medical Healthcare service near my home
There are a few clinic at my neighbourhood, especially if you are familiar with Woodlands, you would know that there are at least another three clinic I can go (at Woodlands North Plaza). I tried them all, and in the end, I still come back to this one, for my children. First and most important factor, waiting time is short, as there are normally not many people. Next, the doctor is okay. But not the best. Neither is the rest around my area very good (all the three clinic at Woodlands North Plaza I went before)
Learn By Comparison
The purpose of this post is not to say something ‘bad’ about this clinic, but to be honest with my own opinion, what I encounter, and what I had seen.
Running Of Business
While waiting for our turn, ‘unfairly’ long, we were ‘entertained’ by the nice musical instruments played by Riverside Secondary School (some piper’s instrument I think, rather like that of dead people’s funeral music I heard, but that was nice…). I could not help but walk towards the music, and saw the Riverside Secondary Pupils running (marathon or relay). It reminded me of those days where I participate in cross-country at Jurong Park.
Administration Skills….Need more brushes
Back at the clinic, again not our turn. Those people who came after us also went in already! But still we wait patiently, but wondering ‘Why so long?”
Fate or Chance
Then I saw this picture, with the word xin, 心 (heart). I asked Richard what these four characters mean and how to read, he also don’t know. I need to wait for one day to ask my sister if there is a chance. However, I guess it is something like the kindred heart, but I do not really know at this moment, but rough idea in my mind which I can confirm only if I know how to read the word or know the real meaning of the words.
Ruining For Health?
Running for health, what an irony of life. In the school, children are running for fitness, but here I am, with family, waiting SO LONG — when the running of business is not in tune with our music. The patient I encountered (in front of us), left the clinic. (we should be after them, but did not.) The couple went to see the doctor about heart problem….
