Hospitalised

Looking at the bright side...

I just had an experience of staying in hospital and sampling their food. SGH this time! I was only hospitalised once previously, back when i was still in the Army. That was in NUH.

Strange, I can't seem to breathe properly, with phelm stuck in my throat, and my heart beat hitting an all time high. It was rather scary.
My kind colleagues rush me to the hospital, where the run many tests.

The doctors diagnose the breathlessness as hyperventialation. But since I never get such breathing difficulties ever in my life, they wondered about the causes and after a long series of tests and they still can't find the problem, they credited the bout of attack to work stress.

Hmmm... elimiation process theory. Most of the medical problems can be proven through tests. But not issues such as "work stress". Maybe it is natural to elminate, one by one, medical problems through the negative test results, and in the end simply credit the unknown cause to the one thing that cannot be proven by conducting rounds of medical tests...

I certainly hope they know what they are doing.
