The most valuable possession - Health

Ever since I came to Shanghai, my health was deteriorating. At first it was only a fever, then followed by sorethroat, then followed by severe coughing and running nose. My colleague accompanied me to see doctor at hospital (it is nothing serious, I am not admitted to hospital, it is simply because here does not have handy clinics like what we have in Malaysia). To avoid long q, she suggested I take the 特区服务. Do you know that it costs me RMB 151.50 just to 挂号，and another RMB 216.80 for the medicine prescribed?? I was so shocked. Then my colleague told me the 挂号fees might not get to claimed. I was looking at her with big eyes. I don't care, I will submit. This is so ridiculous. And the medicine tasted so bitter, especially the coughing solutions. My God... that is the most bitter medicine I had ever taken so far. Having said that, after took the 4 medicines, I do actually feel better, despite the bitterness stay in my mouth for hours (after 2 hours, can still feel your saliva has that taste).

I suddenly realize health is the most valuable property we have to garness. I can't sleep very well at night because of the coughing, and because of this, Jay is also affected. I am glad that he did not get infected by me. But I am most glad that he is taking great care of me. He will wake up at night when I was coughing, and leave the warm bed just to heat up the water for me to drink. I am very touched by this...

So, despite the horrible health I had lately, I am very thankful I have a very caring husband:) I really wish I can recover soon so can have some great moment with him in Shanghai. Right now during weekend, the most I can do is go grocery shopping with him. Can't do more than that because still not feeling well. Sigh...

I suddenly miss my doctor at home, Sentral Clinic, Dr. Rao:) He always tease me when he was giving the anti-hepatitis B injection. He will ask stupid question like "had your dinner?" even though the time was 9.30pm+, just to take my attention away while he was giving injection:) hehehe...

Really don't understand why China has no clinic.
