Its completely horrifying to see how inefficient the SAF can be...... Bloody hell... Wasn't feeling well yesterday. Down with a fever. Initially the temperature was 37.4 , but it went down in the evening. However, my body took a turn for the worst at midnite and my temperature shot up to 38.7.... Was shivering uncontrollably until i took two panadol tablets..... I called the duty nco to call my sgt and report to him my status which he told to observe my situation first... Unluckily my temperature increased to 39.8.... Something had to be done so my sgt instructed the duty nco to call up control to get a driver down to send me to receive medical attention... Control took 15 min to make clear of the situation and another 15 min to decide what had to be done... Next another 20 min was spent deciding which driver would send me: the runway driver or the control driver..... The driver took one hour to come pick me up to the medical centre...By the time action was taken, my temp had subsided.... After "much" diagnosis, the medic transferred me to paya lebar air base for observation... By then, my temperature had already subsided to normal.... Hence i was discharged and wonders of all wonders there was no transport for me back to changi.. I had to go back myself which was absolutely brainless..... Now i really wonder whether my sickness had subsided because of my body's own self healing powers or the help of the medics and drivers.... YAWNZZZ
