Ouch!

I went for a day surgery today, nothing major. But the experience is worth noting down.

Apparently, in hospitals, the trash is taken out from the operating theatre for disposal before allowing the next patient into the theatre. I guess this is for hygiene purposes. After all, the trash is biological waste.

General anaesthetic was an experience too. You can feel it flowing in from the needle into your arm. Besides the injection, it is also given in gas form, and after two deep breaths, the next thing I knew was waking up in my ward.

Paying the bill also made me realise how important medical insurance is. So don't wait until you need it, it will be too late by then.
