i went for my uro ct scan today. and if what happened today is exemplary of what happens everyday, then i can say sgh staffs have a superbly great sense of humour... let me elaborate:
incident 1
managed to find a car park lot but i had to walk some 150m before i reach the main door. as i enter, i have to walk through the thermal scanner to scan for fever as per h1n1 procedure. and at the thermal scanner, a young 20-plus yr old cute male thermal scanner attendant came up to me and exclaimed :"wa, you are so hot!". hmmm, for that moment i almost wanted to reply, thanks, i know (hmmm, just like the fantastic 4 show). then again, knowing singaporeans, they'll just stare at you blankly if i gave such an answer. so instead, i told him i need to cool myself further before i walk through again...
incident 2
i was rather impressed with the counter staff for calling me up rather quickly after registration. before i knew it, an attendant came and asked me to change into the gown. and of cos, think it was kinda straight forward for her. for she went on and on about how i should remove everything, including my underwear and then go pee and la la la... and after doing all that, i walked out of the toilet and she was no where to be found. man, i tell you, the best way to make a man lost all confidence in himself is to make him stand in hospital gown with no underwear in public and not know what to do! anyway, she appeared about 30 sec later and asked me to sit at the waiting area. waited for about an hour before my turn came! tsk tsk tsk...
incident 3
at the preparation room, nurse trying to explain to me the procedure. again, without knowing exactly what i was supposed to be scanned on (other than uro ct scan), she gave a generic explanation... it almost seemed tape recorder-like:
nurse: mr sim, later, when you go in, we will be scanning your uterus.
me: er, nurse, i don't think i have an uterus... (wtf!!! i thought)
nurse: er, well, ok ok... we will be scanning your uterus and your kidney and all that la...
me: !!! (sighs!)
incident 4
at the scanning room, i was strapped to the bed and i was halfway through the scan. the radiographer (an uncle) came up to me to tell me he will be injecting a contrast dye into me. and just before he did that, the following conversation occurred:
radiographer: mr sim, i will be injecting the dye now hor.
me: ok.
radiographer: er... i think you looked very familiar leh
me (mind trying to think through how to answer him, 2 sec later): oh, is it... ha ha! (ya, i know, it's lame)
radiographer: er, are you a famous celebrity...
me: !!! (and the uncle walked away)
hmmm, fun right? agree with me that the sgh staff all have a superbly great sense of humour?... heh heh...
