my heart
Wednesday, November 28, 2007 @ 4:48 pm
Forgot to blog about my super super super expensive follow up with the cardiologist at TTSH yesterday... Thanks to the sweet Leng Lee for reminding me (she sms-ed me and ask about my follow-up).
Thanks to all my dear friends who are concerned about my condition. Luv ya'll!
Waited about 45min before it was my turn. You really pay for what you get. I was scheduled to see a consultant and was brought to The Heart Atrium, which is supposedly this atas heart clinic in TTSH for atas people (not that I am one).
The receptionists use iMac for registration and the magazines were those atas kind like some motor vehicles mags (was oogling at the Lamborghinis and Porsches inside :P).
After brief check, he suggested I go for a heart ultrasound to map out the irregularity that caused the heart to race. "The condition is not lethal" he said it repeatedly, as if I will drop dead the next second or something.
and guess what? The freaking scan cost me $345!!! My lower jaw almost dropped to the floor. Consulting fees and blood test cost me another $125. Lao niang is superrrrr BROKE now. *wails*
Hopefully I can claim for full on this, else I think i can totally survive on liquid diet or any compassionate hand-outs for the next one month.. booooo
