So I had an appointment with a GP today. He was friendly but I was quite shocked that he couldn't differentiate between antigens and antibodies.
So I asked him, 'Err, with this pathology, do they use the 4th gen test? The one that looks for antigens and antibodies?'
And he replied, 'I think for the general, first-line screening, they always look for the antigens first'.
Looked up his profile on the clinic's website. More than 10 years of experience. Unbelievable.
Anyway, on the pathology test request form, it was printed as Ag/Ab.
Will go back tomorrow evening for the results. Hopefully everything will be fine.
So, on my way home, while waiting for the green light at a junction, an old man approached me and asked if I could speak canto. I nodded.
He was holding an envelope. And on it, there was this address. He told me he wanted to go to this building (with a Canto name).
With the address, I used Google map to locate the place and found out that it was just close by.
Initially, I pointed him to the right direction but still he looked a bit lost. So I offered to bring him to the place.
It was a medical appointment. On arrival, I was surprised to find out that the doctor that he was seeing has the same chinese surname as mine!
My chinese surname is kinda rare.
I felt quite happy, seriously, for being able to help him. I felt that the happiness I got from it temporarily masked the worries I had.
I always feel more connected to the elderly. Probably because of my grandparents. They are the best!
I still couldn't forget my Grandpa. That night in hospital when he passed away. I could still remember clearly how hard he tried to open his eyelids to have a last look at his grandchildren. I remember how I burst into tears the moment I got into the ward, knowing that he would be leaving us very soon.
I still teared when I thought about him. He's the greatest.
Had a meeting tonight. Just got involved in an organisation (probably shouldn't disclose too much here), and was asked to contribute ideas regarding projects for newly arrived gay Asian men.
Bought a thermometer today. Have been taking my body temperature. Should be normal but am feeling a bit warm.
Could it be due to the Chinese Medicine I had? It's the Shen Qi Wan my aunt gave me. Didn't dare to take it till tonight coz I was afraid it would affect the test accuracy.

I think a lot of doctors forget the basics after a while. Still unacceptable though.
