Painful April Fool :'(

It was 1st April 2011.

However, it was not fun at all.

This is not a joke, I fell down while i was laughing and dislocated my knee the night before April fool :(

The next day, the swelling did not subside but worsen, so Dr Teoh, Mrs Tang( local teacher ) and Camellia accompanied me to go to the hospital nearby to do a check up.

At that time, I couldn't even walk so Dr Teoh had to carried me when i went into the cab and came out from the cab. (Sorry Dr Teoh! I gained 2 kg after coming to China :o)

The local teacher arranged me to a hospital however the doctors there are not experienced enough so we went to another better hospital to do check up! (Thanks Mrs Tang!)

After reaching the hospital, we waited for 20 mins before our turn to meet the doctor. The TV programme playing was Mr Bean and this made me laugh and relaxed a little bit before i can see the doctor.

After the diagnosis, the doctor said that i tore my ligament :( As what we learnt from APS module,tear of ligament is very hard to recover as there is no blood vessel run through it. Therefore, nutrients are hardly to diffused through blood. I told the doctor this is my second time experienced dislocation on my right knee so he think I was born with less ligament on my right knee that is why my knee dislocate easily. And continuously he said , I NEED TO DO CORRECTIVE SURGERY after going back to singapore.

I was shocked and stunned at that moment as I never ever did any surgery before. My tears rolling around my eyes but I controlled it as my "geh kiang"(pretend to be strong) character did not allow me to.

I was advised to do X ray to know whether there was any fracture on my bones.

This is the X ray room!


While waiting!



After that..


However, my conditions did not improve so i went to hospital again on 3rd April :((

And.. my blood!!




My experiences and observations

The local public hospital is very different from Singapore's public hospital. Firstly, we must pay first before we can actually do the treatment. Like my case, before I can actually meet the doctor, I must pay for the fee first, this goes the same way as doing X ray.
Another thing is some patients' bed are along the corridor! Just imagine that, you can have no privacy and what you are doing can be seen by anyone walk by the corridor. Compare to China, Singapore's public hospitals are much more well-equipped so we are really very fortunate for being provided all the well-structured necessities! I learnt to be more contented after knowing their hospital's conditions.

I hope that my leg can recover soonnnnnnnnnn!! I want to walk and play around and SHOPPING!!!

Lastly, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone!

Dr Teoh is really a very caring and responsible lecturer:))

Mrs Tang the local teacher even made white fungus soup for me to drink as it has lots of collagen :D THANK YOU!

Lastly, my friends! Camellia, Gracia , Yvette , Meiling , Qiu yan and many more!
Sorry for bringing lots of troubles to all of you! I will recover very soon :)) Jiayou She Hui!!
