What a horrific incident at Jurong Medical Centre. I was scheduled for a check up yesterday, and so I went. Got registered and the usual stuff, declaration of personal health conditions, x-ray blablabla. Next thing I know, I've got a scheduled surgery "later". Sweet Jesus, halelujah! I wasn't mentally prepared at all. ( So wasn't my stomach, I thought of having a nice KFC branch after the check-up) Knowing the consequences of the surgery, being unable to eat and all, I decided to grab a bite first, approached the receptionist and told her I'd be off for awhile. She gently approved and waved me off.
"Shi JI Shi JI!! wait a moment, you need to take your Blood Pressure first" So I waited, within 5 minutes I was in and my BP taken.
"Alright, we'll do your surgery now" HOLY MAMA!!! YOU MEANT LIKE FREAKING NOW? Went into the room, felt a little strange and surreal, look around the surroundings and took a deep breathe.
The surgeon quickly explain to me the process and got me to sign the consent for op. Swiftly as things flew, I realized she was rubbing cream on my gums and lips, next thing I knew, the needle was in my mouth, poking my internal cheeks, gums, tongue and all and the pain was unbearable. Acting "man" I kept quiet through the pain but my tears betrayed be as they stream down the sides to my ear.
Within 10 minutes, I was done. Fast yeah? In fact it was extremely quick. I was told she drilled my wisdom tooth into 2 and extracted my upper tooth with a "upper 8" without using forceps with 1 twist. She was absolutely fabulous, except for the anesthetics.
The whole process was extremely happening and frightening. Saliva stuck at my throat, all i could hear was the drilling of my tooth, tightening of my tooth, tonnes of actions all over my mouth and face. Not at all a good experience.
Thank god, it's over :)
