Day +2353 : Follow up at ophthalmology clinic

I am fine today.

I have more holiday photos and stories to post but I would like to take a break to post something that is more important; that is my follow-up at ophthalmology (eye) clinic at UH today.

The appointment today is scheduled at 10am but since I have to attend a church planning camp in Port Dickson this afternoon, I reached UH as early as 7:10am. I was number 16 in the queue which is not too bad. We have to get a second 4 digits queue number through the counter. I waited at a corner for my turn.

Not long after, I heard the number running and patients were called into a room to do a general eye checking - something we had to do first before seeing a eye specialist later. I looked at the queue board on the wall and didn't see any 2-digit numbers. All the number shown was 4-digit. I wondered why the number didn't start at 2-digit and despite that, I waited there patiently for the 2-digit number to appear.

I felt that something was not right after quite sometime and went to check in the counter where we normally got our second 4-digit queue number. The counter staff gave me a 4-digit queue number and I only realised by then that I was looking at the wrong queue board. There was a 2-digit queue board placed on the column in front of the counter for the first queue number. I totally forgot about that :-(

Both my eyes were still in good condition despite the fact that my tear glands failed to produce tears for the eyes. The specialist introduced to me a few other brands of artificial tears; she even gave me one sample to try.

My next appointment was scheduled 6 months later.

See you next post :-)
