That's why never report sick for diarhorea

kewty SG

such as the MO prescribing u medication when u report sick, and the med. turns out to be not helping u recover, or that the medicine gives u unpleasant side effects.

or worse still the med. is something which u r allergic to.

or that the dispensary medic gives the wrong dosage or tells u wrong instructions for eating (eg. supposed to be thrice daily but he tells u to take twice only). or worse still wrong medication!

or that u have been issued malaria pills when u r a g6pd deficiency

happened to u chaps before?

pwnz0r SG

Never leh.. Usually they give the medicine, I will just throw one side. Mr. Green

fucking hell dont curse us medics cause of yr single incident fucking hell.. u think work in medical centre very easy isit fucking hell, so much fucking complains even when we try to do our best,

u want MO to give u wad? fucking hell downgrade? sorry hor in medical centre there are numerous patients who need to be entertained hor..MO fucking ask u to come back eariler (after 4mths) is to check yr injuries la dickhead. If MO never call u, u blame MO for being lazy , n if anything else happen u blame MO for not asking u to come back for medical review..

fuckigng hell i detest this kind of idiots, not happy dont see MO lor go outside see lor dickhead

borntolive SG

hmm i am in charge of dispensing in my medical centre lol, btw we are suppsoed to ask patients for any drug allergies before giving so i seriously hope i dont give wrongly Sad its a very serious offence for us

tarutaru SG

To add on, i think it's the patient reponsibility to inform the MO/medic of their drug allergy, if you don't inform and some allergy like rashes come out the medic/MO cannot be blame.

borntolive SG

precisely, n some idiots will come back n blame MOs n medics n curse Medical Corps when they themselves are ignornat of their own mistakes n responsibilties

crimson soldier SG

This happened last year:

I went to MO for sprained ankle. After collecting the form that gave me 1 week excuse RMJ, the medic passed me some medicine and said "take this x times a day for your flu..." or something along the lines...

I was like Surprised and walked away.. needless to say what happened to the medicine...

KenPlus SG

Let be frank,what the uses of the medicine from the medical centre?
It useless,in the end we have to go outside and visit the GP to recover,the sole purpose to visit the MO is to get prove that we are really sick and it not to seek medication for our illness.
If it real serious case,at most they just refer us to hospital for further check-ups,that all.Even the regulars in my unit also say the same thing,in short it really a waste of taxpayers money.

tarutaru SG

panadol is alright….

borntolive SG

this is the problem, no one appreciates our effort!!!

we know that most guys come to get MC, its very obvious some left without taking the medicine, some rush us when we r describing them how to consume n dosage. Leave without taking medication, it takes up quite a while of time for us to prepare lor, waste our effort, other patients come n complain saying why we take so long

when no one appreciates wad we have done, how to expect us to provide good service?

n btw the main reason we r sloe is becuase of the comp program we are using, fellow medics will know that. not only it is VERY slow, it is very prone to errors, downtimes etc..

many patients dont undertsand this, thinking we do thing too slow!!

i too wish most patients will go GP or other places instead!!!
