Train arrives , Eileen hopped on to the crowded train and headed home
Scene 3
Home
Eileen opens door, saw aunt not asleep at 11.20 pm
Aunt : your mum has a fish bone in her throat... you & your brother bring her to A & E
Eileen : har! so careless, okay okay
Eileen changed, got her jacket, wallet and keys.
Called Gabe : sorry, can't join you guys liao, mum needs to go A & E
Gabe: Okay..go go.
Eileen went to the lift lobby and waited for her mum and brother. Together they got into a cab and headed for Changi Hospital. Apparently her mum has the bone there for one day liao! They both chided her for not going to a GP earlier.
Scene 4
Changi Hospital
Took temperature , got scanned, got masked up
It wasn't crowded at all..thankfully. Eileen was rather prepared to spend the night at the A & E . It was an excellent choice to go to Changi instead of the nearby TTSH.
It was mandatory to wear the mask now
Scene 5
Room 9

interesting croc like slipper worn by Dr Ng

Scene 6
Taxi cruising along PIE , Eileen is glad the day is finally over... zzzzzzzzzzz
PS: What an expensive fish Eileen's mum ate. She said it wasn't that painful , but didn't trust the other GPs in the estate as the usual family GP wasn't open that evening. She waited one whole day b4 deciding to go A & E to remove it! The injury could have resulted in an infection and who knows what will happen. So pls, for those others who have a fish bone stuck in your throat, don't wait! Don't listen to stupid old wives tales like eating rice or bananas or what not! Just go to a doctor.

Gosh, thats a big fish bone. I wouldnt want to have that in my throat! Hope your mum is fine now!
Rinaz- yeah..mum is alright. she was given some lozenges and mouth wash. I guess we all gotta be careful when it comes to eating fish! :P
I love eating fish, but the fish bones always annoy me a bit....so tiresome to eat carefully in order not to swallow one....
