I was at the doctor's 2 nights ago because I was having slight diarrhoea. The same nurse has been working there since forever. There are always two nurses on duty at the counter. I've seen others come and go for the other nurse position but she's the only nurse who's been there all the time.
When I went there and said my name (sans family name) and block number, she could tell me my surname. Wow. She could even tell me my own unit number. IMPRESSIVE. I was silently doing a "FWAH!" in my mind haha.
And then she took out my case file, or rather, it was a thick wad of white cards all stapled together. I happened to see the first card and the stamped date of the very first time I went to that clinic.
It said 15-March-1986.
WAH.
I've been seeing this doctor since I was 5 and a half years old. I'm 30 and a half now.
I've been seeing him for 25 years?! That's a quarter of a century and three-quarters of my life!
From when I couldn't see over the counter to when I am now towering way above the counter top!
We go back a long way Dr Yao. I wonder how much you've earned from me and my parents in all these years? Lol.
