Polyclinic Revamp

I was quite impressed with the facilities of AMK Polyclinic when I went there to get my antibiotics this morning. I thought I would be greeted with foul stench and hordes of people queueing up unruly for their registration. I was so wrong ....

Wah, the place upgrade already you know ! ... somemore got electronic queue system and spacious waiting area with pleasant-looking counter staff to take your registration. Not bad ah ... facilities and counter service has definitely improved by leaps and bounds over the years ... but just one thing that could be improved. That's the waiting time ... My goodness .. when I saw the estimated waiting time to see the doctor after my registration, I nearly fainted .. It said ... 3 hrs & 20 mins .. If Im really that sick, I would have fainted before I reached the doc's room.

Apparently some old aunties were also lamenting about the waiting time. One 60+ Cantonese auntie was overheard telling another patient-in-distress that she would have died before the doc can see her if they (docs) dun speed up. ai yo ... *choy*choy*choy* These Cantonese aunties ah ... ...

Despite the long waiting time, I had no other complaints. Of course, the experience was made more pleasurable esp when you kena a young handsome doc. *grinz* MOH not bad know. Nowadays employ ang-mo doc in polyclincs. Mine was Dr Mark Floss and his brown curls reminded me of pork floss. Nice accent, nice brown eyes ...

So U see, how will the trip to the doc be torturous when you walk out of the polyclinic with a smile on your face ?
