Hospital Visit - 1st time here?

I was never afraid to see a doctor or a dentist.  In fact I enjoy it.  Maybe because I have seen too many people in my family died because they did not want to have everything checked.  Okay, dying may be too much.  How about seeing other people realize that an illness could have been treated and something saved had they seen a doctor.

The past weeks has been really a pain for me. Or lemme say, itchy!  Yep.  Some part of my body (it's for you to guess!) suddenly got itchy. It wasn't supposed to be.  And then a few days later it started to flake. Hmmm... I got worried of course.  Aside from the bad itch, really bad itch, the skin dryness is getting worse.  And the more that it gets dry the more that it became apparent that it was getting worse.

I had to see doctor. soon.  But, alas, I remember that I have a personal doctor who I gladly text/ call or email straight from the Philippines.  So I did email her. And told her what I have in my own medicine box, she replied, okay try to use that and let's see.

A few days applying the cream, it actually got better.  But after a few days it became itchy once more.  Oh no!  I think that I really need to go see a doctor. Soon.

So today, armed with my insurance card, thank God our company got us covered here, I went to Med Care Hospital.  Had an appointment arranged to see a female dermatologist at 4:15PM.  It was near the site office so I had no reason no to be there on time.  In fact I only had to walk, even if it was quite hot @ 4 in the afternoon.

Off I went, she saw me around 4:30 and checked what was wrong.  She gave me the prescription and told me to see her after 10 days.

Did I say that I had to pay 50AED for the doctor and some 85AED for that crazy cetaphil cream and QV soap.  It wasn't covered by the insurance.  Oh well... for the itch to get away, I will gladly pay it!  Hope this works.
