Bisdak Babbles

On my second day here in Singapore, I was on my way to my pre-employment medical checkup when an insurance agent. Having learned from personal experience, I want to make sure that my family won’t be in financial difficulty if something happens to. I’ve always wanted to get a good social security disability insurance, life insurance, education plan. So, after getting my first paycheck, I met up with that insurance agent again. The company he worked for wanted to make sure that a prospective policy holder doesn’t have any pre-existing conditions, so I took another medical exam.

There were some tests that are for women only so I was really glad it was a lady doctor who did those tests. When she told me she could find lumps on my breast, it really scared the hell out of me. I still have a small girl, and I’m the sole breadwinner of the family! Because of those findings, the insurance company rejected my policy application. It was hard to get an appointment to see a specialist so I’ve been sleepless for weeks. The breast ultrasound was really uncomfortable even if it was done by a female. Indeed, 6 lumps were found. Talking to the specialist removed a bit of my worries. She told me that lumps are common and that I don’t need to do any more tests. But I still chose to undergo ultrasound every 6 months.
