There was this function held by TCC( The Cancer centre) today at Raffles where there's a talk given by this Doctor and you can get HPV vaccinations ( Cervarix® ) at $99 per dose. At the price of $99, it's considered very cheap compared to those general practioner at your neighbourhood or at a private hospital like Mount E. A dose outside costs about $200. There's in total of 3 jabs just like hep B.
The talk was about Cervical cancer and how it comes about. Halfway during the during the talk, i almost doze off , not because it was boring but because i've heard similiar talks like these before in my lectures. Except the fact that i didn't talk alot during this talk because it's just my Mom and sis.
So anyway, it was all about the awareness of Cervical cancer and to not lose your love ones to Cervical cancer as you can prevent it and equip yourself with the anti-bodies compared to other top cancers in Singapore. FYI, Cervical cancer is the 6th commonest cancer in Singapore and also the top 3rd cancer in Women.
The event was filled FULL with WOMEN, with some exceptions of a few men who accompanied their wifes/girlfriend. Met a few kiasu aunties pushing their butts, shoving their way right through me. By right the jab ranges for women from ages 10-25 in Singapore, in America it's 10-45 yrs old. So i don't know why they were there but i'm sure they were the ones queuing up for the jab.
Whatever it is, the turn out rate was over-whelming and seriously people like me that hate crowd will just suffocate and die there, almost did.
Whilst waiting for the jab, i realise one or two of their Nurses wasn't wearing gloves when administering the jab! Like o.m.g. It was a Intra-muscular injection somemore!!!!
Luckily the one jabbing me was wearing, if not i'll definitely question her. Haha, tsk tsk. Sometimes, when you are in the same profession, it sort of like remind you of the things you do in the hospital and also like to compare. It's call, a Human nature thing..haha
* i wonder if my fortune was right....
