Remember my ear fucking up and I had to undergo a minor operation and everything?
Well THAT didn’t solve the problem. Was pissed off about it because I felt it was the doctor’s negligence, but I won’t go into details now.
Anyway I was on MC today so I could go remove the collected pus that was building up, causing me to have headaches and other head-related discomforts.
Ah fuck it, I think I’ll rant about it anyway.
So the first time I went to the doctor, the lump was swelling and it hurt a lot (naturally). This was not the first time it happened, and I finally gave in to my family’s urging to see a doctor and hopefully get it sorted out, aka find out what the hell was wrong and have it rectified.
For some reason or the other, I ended up at [nameless hospital]. The ENT specialist was very nice and kind, and he recommended that I undergo a minor op to have it removed. So I did.
Turned out that lump was a non-malignant cyst, so I was happy to have it out of my body. Foreign stuff + in your body = bad.
All well, follow-up was tiring and costly, bla bla.
Then it swelled again.
Of course I expected it to return, after all the doctor did say that although it was a successful removal, it does not guarantee that the problem will not arise again. I mean, even I know that. So I wasn’t too pissed about that, just wondering why it came back so fast.
So I went back to the doctor, and he poked around my ear, then he said, “Ah the problem was that some of the cyst walls were not removed. This was due to the fact that when you had your operation done, the area was swelling and it was difficult to remove everything. So you will have to take some medication, then wait for the swelling to subside, and come back again so I can perform ANOTHER operation on the back of your ear. This time, we’ll get EVERYTHING.”
And THAT pissed me off BIG time.
Why did he perform the operation the first time when the lump was swelling, when he knows that the chances to remove everything was maybe 70% compared to the chances of taking everything out when it was not swelling was 95%?
I made up the percentage, but yes that illustrated why I was SOOOOOOOO angry with him.
Bloody hell, the [nameless hospital] was not cheap. Even though insurance covered most of it, we still had to pay 10% and front the follow-up money. Plus the traveling to and fro the hospital was not easy, and the whole process was very time-consuming.
So SOoooo angry. Makes my blood boil just thinking about it. So I think I’ll stop.

Koko Krunch is great.

I really don’t want to jinx it, but right now I’m surfing at the speed of light.
Well, that is in comparison what Malaysians went through the whole day lah.
But it’s faster than my ordinary, non-earthquake-affected speed!
What gives?
Update: Fuck, I jinxed it.

Oops I did it again. I was enjoying the night breeze in the garden, when I saw this…
Maybe nature is trying to tell me something.
