What a week... Had just recovered from a 5 days fever & followed by 3 days of gasping for air... That's final, i am going to the doctor!

It was close to 6pm, time to knock off from work. Ouch! I felt a sudden pinch at my right side of my chest while i am smoking. Dont let it be 'Hole in the Lung'... PLEASE! *Pant Pant*

Marilea do you mind accompany me to the doctor because i dont speak Portuguese well. OK?!?!!

When we reach the hospital, i was asked to go to the examine room...

Marilea: Ivy, you got to act as if you cant breath so that it will shorten the 'Q'...

ME: Huh!!! I dont know how to act la...

Marilea: Ok - try your best!

When we came out from the room...

Marilea: Ivy, you are not a very good actress eh?

*Smile Shyly*

Doctor: How are you feeling?

Me: I felt out of breath! Maybe there is a hole in my lung(s)!

Doctor: *Share at me in a strange look* Pneumothorax???

Me: Yup, its common in Singapore, Can i do an X-Ray?

Doctor: Turn your back! *Using her stethoscope, Listening while i breath in & Out* Your lungs seems OK! Are you under Stress? Are you having Homesick?

Me: Huh? What? I am emotionally OK, I just came back from Singapore, there is no reason i am home sick.

Marilea: Ivy, you dont know how stress could affect you, do you need me to go out so that you can talk to the doctor in private?

Doctor: Are you under Angxxxuish or Anxxxious?

Me: *Simple stare at both of them blankly* (Dont understand her pronoucation well thus trying to figure out... Was it Anguish or Anxious...???) Am i OK?

Doctor: I will give you some NATURAL pills...

ME: WHAT? Whats the pills for? Is it medicine? You say i am OK, isnt it?

Doctor: Dont worry, they are simply NATURAL, no harm taking...

ME: *Thinking - no harm taking, then why should i take them?* Alright!

Me & Marilea left for a beer & a bite at Outback along with her husband & 3 colleagues!

NOTE: Above examine, consultation & sweets costs me R$183.00.

Special thanks to my colleague (Marilea) whom help in all ways...

Who will ever believe or accept such explaination from a doctor - I believe if a Singapore Doctor do tell me this, I will TELL him / her OFF... STRESS - OMG! Can someone help me explain this?
