brief unimportant update
May 29, 2008 — eviciplukGrey’s Anatomy series is definitely awesome. Imagine the cool doctors in operations room trying to save patients lives. However, it is not awesome at all when you lay down there as the patient. Having the first surgery in my life made me really nervous. Even though this was just a minor surgery that will not affect my vital organs. Long story short, i had two birthmarks that happened growing constantly in the past few years. Got worrying of severe disease such cancer of tumor, i decided to see a doctor to get my birthmarks examined.
I went to a private hospital that famous for its good services. At first, i made an appointment with skin specialist doctor who later refered me to surgery clinic. To send me from her clinic (skin) to surgery clinic, i have to pay the doctor almost two hundred thousand rupiahs
I’m sure the profession as doctors is very prospective. They earn money easily.
At the surgery dept, the surgeon instantly offered me to remove (is remove a proper word for that ? :( ) the birthmarks. After making sure about the fee, considering my available cash, i agreed to have the minor surgery. I got local anaesthesia on my cheek and my chest before the surgeon and a nurse working to cut out the growing tissue. Quite chiller to hear the surgeon said “the scissor please”, or “the blade please” to the nurse. They did suture to the wound with a dark blue string. Cool isn’t it? Even the nurse showed me the string after finishing the surgery process.
Finished the surgery, i had to face another terrify thing, payment for the surgery. Yay, i had to spend almost a half of my deposit in ATM. Health is definitely expensive, moreover, priceless. Can’t wait to reimburse the spending to my office to get my money back :D Now, i have to protect the suture bandage from water, and it’s a little bit difficult since i cannot take a normal shower as usual. I really wait to get the suture opened and recovered.
