At first , i got psoriasis , went to polyclinic to get referral
to NUH , booked appointment , finally the day have come , went to
see the dermatologist , he wrote me a memo , after a few days which
is today , i went down to cmpb , reach there around 11am ,
the registration person told me to come back at 1pm as the MO is
not available to see patient and so i did , went to the canteen and
eat and drink , until 12pm , so off i went to depot heights
shopping centre to slack , and went back to cmpb at about 1.20pm ,
asked the person at the counter , and he told me to take a seat
first , and so i seated for about 15 minutes and the person called
me in , and waited inside to see the MO , took a queue number , and
finally at 2.15pm , the MO is available and called me in. When i
got in , he asked me if i have any drug allergy and so i told him ,
and the 2nd qns he ask was whether i have a tattoo and the answer
was no and yeah , he looked at my specialist memo , and trying to
figure out what are the words , and he said he cant read his words
and so , he went into another room and asked another MO what is
this word and what is that word , in the end , he told me to show
him my psoriasis rashes , and i showed him all the affected areas ,
there are a lot of small plaques on my upper back body and a few on
the lower part , there is always some at my buttocks and some on
the hips , my scalp have got a lot of silvery skin (look like those
dandruff kind of thing but is more thicker). And there are a few
small patches on my face , my ear is also affected , but didnt show
him , and he said , i need to have 20% of rashes on my body then i
can downgrade to pes C as he go by the book , and he says i got
like at most only 5% , so i don't qualify for a downgrade , i told
him that my psoriasis tend to act up when expose to sun , but he
told me the same old thing "but we only go by the book , you need
to have 20% of rashes on your body then you can downgrade." and
yeah so i didnt argue back and left. Ok my concern is , does he
mean that someone who have psoriasis less than 20% who go combat
and chiong sua , until the guy develop 20% of the rashes then he
can go for a downgrade? does he even know what is psoriasis? even
for a mild case if it is always come into contact with dust or
sunlight , it will become more and more serious? i am not even
thinking of chao keng , my case is really genuine and i know my own
condition , sometimes even without contact with sunlight , i woud
scratch my rashes until it bleeds. and psoriasis is a skin disease
that will nv be cured.... , i really don't know what i should do
now.. more advice guys. =) thx.
