Went to Changi General Hospital yesterday to get my toe nail pulled out... Boy does it hurt! Hours of soccer has caused my nail to chip and it was causing me much problem walking. Anyway, my initial plan was to get my toe nail pulled out at a poly clinic, when I saw the doctor this was what happened.

Doctor: Hey Jeremy what is wrong with you?
Me: Oh doc, my nail is coming off and it hurts, I was hoping you could pull it out for me.
Smiling at me she puts on her rubber gloves and then looked at my toe.
Poking on my toe
Doctor: Does it hurt?
Me: YES!
Doctor: Oh dear, I will have to refer you to the hospital I will write you a letter alright?
Me: Doc, do you think I can get my toe nail pulled out here, I don't think its that major that you have to refer me to a hospital right? What more my nail is coming off...
Doctor: I am trying to help you Jeremy.
Me: Ok, but can you tell me if pulling out of my toe nail can be done at this poly clinic?
Doctor: Yes we can, but I am trying to help you Jeremy.
Me: So can I get it done here? Because I don't see a point in going to the hospital to do it if I can get it done here!
Doctor: As I said I am trying to help you Jeremy.
Me: I know you are trying to help me but if we can get it done here I really don't see a point in going to the hospital, what's the difference?
Doctor: I am trying to help you Jeremy.
Me: Ok. But... ( Before I could finish my sentence)
Doctor: (She said with a smile and an expression on her face totally oblivious to what I have to say) I am trying to help you Jeremy, take this letter and go to the hospital to get it done, have a nice day!
When I left the room I was like, what just happened, this doctor is a phsyco man! All she could say was " I am trying to help you Jeremy"... She did NOT even tell me what is the problem or what I would expect at the hospital. Goodness I can also be a doctor! Whoever comes and see me, I will just refer them to the hospital and smile and say " I am trying to help you!" GOSH!
I was left with no choice but to go to the hospital to get it done...

My nicely wrapped toe (doesn't it look so delicious... haha...)
