Sore throat. Can't talk.
I is sick. *grumble grumble, whine whine*
Thing is, I go to the doc, she takes my temperature and shines a torchlight down my throat, and then prescribes me Panadol (for fever) and Strepsils (for sore throat). And then charges me thirty bucks.
Panadol & Strepsils I can get at any 7-11, never mind pharmacy, for like... less than ten bucks!
So what am I paying for? The sick leave certificate, of course. Without which I would still have been shivering in the office.
And the doctor wouldn't even give me today off. "You're having a fever now. You might be better tomorrow," were her exact words. So I took half-day off yesterday, went home and slept the entire afternoon, then had to wake up and do assignment at night, coz the assignment is due on Thursday and it's group work -- I had to send my section to my partner for checking.
Life goes on... sick or not sick :P
