The blister that he had been having for the past month or so has finally been diagnosed to be an ulcer. We decided to just go to a clinic today to see an ordinary doctor after being told that appointments with his regular doctors were not available today. So while we were chilling out and having a drink at TTS hospital atrium, he saw the "Walk-in Clinic" and we decided to just step in. Luckily there were no other patients so he saw the doctor pretty soon. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic cream and also a round of antibiotics to be taken over 10 days. The wait at the pharmacy was approximately 20 minutes. When we saw the pharmacist, she asked if he had any drug allergies. Apparently the blur doctor had prescribed a sulfur drug (even after being told that he had sulfur allergies!). The doctor could not be reached to change the medication as he had gone out for lunch. In the end we were advised to just take the medication and inform the doctor of any symptoms of allergy shows. (Symptoms could be rashes, swelling of the face or in serious cases, difficulty in breathing, to which a trip to the A&E was necessary!) We had no choice but to leave (and not wait for Mr Doctor to finish his lunch) as he had his physio appointment at AH and we were almost late.

Upon reaching AH, we realised that the doctor had only given him an MC till Friday. What about Saturday? The doc was (again) already told that he works on Saturday. So crappy!!!!! In the end, we took a cab back to TTS after physio to get the MC changed and also to change the medication. Due to the negligence of the insensitive doctor, we had to shuttle between the 2 hospitals today. Cab fare to and fro was a total of about $15. Costly, considering the fact that it need not be spent in the first place. The money spent is not the main concern. Can you imagine if he had taken the sulfur drug and developed serious symptoms of allergies in the middle of the night? Who's going to be responsible?
