fruz with docs

docs cannot pinpoint most of the problems a patient has. most of the time, they just send the patients to a series of tests and hopefully one of the tests results in some abnormalities, and voila! thats the problem. but, i have seen many people around me, who has yet gotten their disease diagnosed. sometimes you wonder whats the point of paying for tests and tests, and a doc giving you a list of "we can't see any problem with this test. so he/she is normal in this aspect. we can go for another test..."

there is a patient who was admitted since november 29th till today, january 22nd. the patient is still lying in the hospital undergoing the list of tests, that is slowly scheduled. as the tests are popular means for docs to determine the problem, there is a long queue for such tests. what more, the docs work on normal working days, the tests can only be done on weekdays. there u see how one can stay in the hospital for so long, and the docs still cannot find out the problem!

mind you, we are not living in some third world country. this is singapore! and yet...
