ER drama

Wah, didn't think that immediately after I blogged about taking my Mum to the hospital, I landed up in one MYSELF. Got myself warded for observation --- blood pressure dangerously high! Hmm.... I wonder what led to it. It certainly wasn't over the marking of your Compre- summaries. You all wrote fairly good pieces. I guess the old body is just acting up, a reminder that it is no more young and fit . . . Sigh!. . .

It was an interesting 5 hours at the Accident & Emergency (ER, to you TV series buffs) last night. I met a drunkard who systematically "checked into" the A & E for its free meals and then bolted, one who is a regular there for hand-holding by the nurses and doctors, a handsome foreign male nurse out to woo a same nationality female patient (tsk tsk . . .) and the amazing endless stream of patients brought in by ambulances. Wow, was Singapore just sick last night!
