as posted to a unit
recently and supposedly got into a troublesome matter. Yes, my MC
was a bit long for chest infection, 12 days of continuous MC of 3
days each. I i thought it was necessary. Only once it was from a
private clinic of 2 days, the first Mc was from government hospital
which was 3 days and the rest of the Mcs are from polyclinic.
My first 3 days MC
was from NUH and the second was from polyclinic when the MC is over
because i was told to go polyclinic if my condition doesn't get
better. the doctor there voluntarily gave me 3 days mc to rest at
home. Then im supposed to have another medical appt at polyclinic
the nxt monday and i when i told the unit the night before, they
say i need to get an mc to cover myself for sunday.( I didn't know
about it as im new to this unit) And since im still genuinely sick,
i went to the private clinic below my hse as poly not open on
sunday.
The unit say i can
get from private clinic and the clinic gave me 2 days MC. The next
morning after my medical appt, the doctor say that my conditions
still not better and i needed more rest, so she gave me 3 days mc(
again i didn't ask for it), and she say that i can go back to
extend my mc if needed. So on thursday i went again and the
polyclinc gave me rest until weekend.Note that all the mcs were
given to me, and if i was chaokenging, will polyclinic give me so
many MCs? In addition, my condition is infectious, what good will
it do to let me go back? Affect more ppl so more ppl will fall
sick?
That night, i was
requested by PC to endorse mc the next day. The MO immediately took
me as malingering, though he did emphasised that he didn't mean im
malingering but he's attitude showed otherwise. Then he even asked
about my school and my grades and i told him i was from a JC then
he asked my grades, which wasnt good. Then he said that he had
straight As and more... why did he do that? After that, he didn't
really listen to my explanations. He say i'm not supposed to go
A&E unless im dying.. but my parents and many other people also
go there for fever, what's wrong? It's not like my camp forced me
to go back to get mc or anything , so i thought it was okay to get
mc outside. And they accepted it whenever i told them my MC
extended. Now they accuse me of malingering and everyone's attitude
was damn bad to me. I feel very indignant, maybe it's my fault for
not going camp MO but it is true that i was given MC for my real
illness.
Dont talk bullshit. You better get your chest infection checkout
at SGH. Do a proper X-ray to ensure your lungs is clear. NUH is
lousy. Chest infection at such as Bronchitis, Pneumonia can take as
long as two weeks. Some people ever take months. Some never
recover.
Chest infection is uncommon illness. Most doctor cannot diagnose
it properly.
I suggest you better do a proper medical checkup, highlight
"tuberculosis". My friend just got diagnosed for it. TB is coming
back, some individual can get it despite of vaccination.
On the SAF adminstration perspective, you should endorse the MC
and etc. You know what to do, just follow the adminstration
protocol.
