Burnout

Yes, I'm finally on medical leave after so long. Not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing, but I think it's time I slow down abit and maybe let my body rest.
R showed me an article just yesterday about signs of a burnout at work. After reading it, I was sure that was me!

Yes..Burnout!Drained!Pushed to the limit!Whateva!

I wouldn't have realised if not for R, I'd probably think I was just going through an extremely long PMS period. Anyway, I finally made the decision to MC and let my body rest and recover today.*satisfied smiley* Just a pity that the doctor did not offer to give me 2 days instead of 1. Damn!

Talking about my doctor's trip makes my blood boil! Why? Here's the story...

Doctor: Hi, what can I do for you?

Me:Erhm...not feeling too well today. (while sniffing my nose)Headache and nausea. Been having insomnia too...( I was still ranting when she cut me short)

Doctor: Oh, and block nose?Does your throat hurt?(somehow she sensed my nose block thingy cos of my nasal voice)

Me: Oh yes (actually I suspected that my sniffing nose was more of my sinus problem then anything else, but I went along anyway =p) My throat feels dry too.

Doctor: Ok (while performing a bad attempt to look at my throat-she just shone the light into my mouth...and trying to hear my lungs or whatever just placing the sethoscope for like 1 second behind my back!)

Doctor: Okay, drink more water and rest well. Need MC today?

Me: Ya..(still abit bewildered as to what she was tempting to do)

And that was it! Everything took less than 5 mins when I had to wait like 15 mins in a EMPTY clinic. I was wondering what the 2 doctors were doing making me wait that long! And the whole consultation took less than a minute! Damn the doctors nowadays make easy money!

I was upset because I thought the doc wasn't being very professional about it all. She wasn't exactly concerned about my well-being or anything. I would not have chosen this clinic if it wasn't part of my company listed company. Else I would have to fork out my own medical fees. It's like she is only entertaining me because she thought I simply needed a MC and that the rest was really none of her business. What happened to professionalism and ethics? She gave me a whole lot of medicine which I did not ask for. So she knew the tab was on my company so she gave all the funny medicine that I did not ask for. Lame rite?

Having said that, my nose is still running, perhaps I did get the flu bug...Haizz..BUMMER day...

Had a ridiculous arguement with R today...I shall not mention. Crappy day!*sobz*
