Quarrel

25th of Sep 07 is an eventful day for me. Last year on this same date, my medical centre is conducting a medical board. Exactly one year later, the same thing occurred with more dramatic events.

This event main star is me and another person which is an nsman.

It started when I went to lunch with one of my fellow collegue. So, this guy person A came while I was going for lunch. According to one of my collegues who stayed back at the medical centre, he was feeling very sick and hoped that he could be the first to be seen. When I was back from lunch, his hand was positioned at the stomach, coupled with the facial expressions, I could infer that he had stomachache. As a gesture of kindness, I asked him whether or not he wanted to report sick. However, his reply was that SAF Medical centres are useless or something like that. He mentioned that he had reported sick umpteen times in SAF medical centres, but nothing seemed to be done about his problem. I mentioned that perhaps I could let him be seen first so that he could go back home quickly to rest.

After a few minutes, I saw him pressing for stomach, seemingly to be in great pain. I asked him again. His replies were the same. However, I asked him for his identification no so that I could find his relevant documents and put him in the front of the queue.
I checked with the schedule of people that was supposed to come on that day, and his name was not in the list. Then, he asked me, "Is my name on the list?" I replied "No."
His replied that he would call the relevant authority that insisted on him coming for the board itself to lodge a complaint.

After that, another person, person B came to the medial centre but he requested to be the first to be seen becuase he had urgent personal matters to be settled at home. So, forgetting about the previous guy, I slotted him to be the first.

Then, a confusion occurred as there were more people who were not scheduled on that day came to our medical centre. Thus, the whole lot of documents were carried out and re-sorted such that the attendence of the personnels that had come was confirmed.

So, the order of that person mentioned earlier person A was shuffled. After the second guy went into the MO's room, he was very infuriated and pissed off. He came to the registration counter to make a din, shouting at me like how come he wasn't the first to be seen by the MO as I had promised?
I admitted that I had promised that he was the first or second to be seen thinking that if he was scheduled for that day. Since he was not, it was not fair to let him, the walk in guy go first. Anyway, he asked me to call that relevant authority to inquire the reason for asking him to come down for the medical board. He explained to me that his handphone was running out of battery. I asked him whether or not he knew the number. He suddenly became angry and scolded me of being ignorant and not knowing the number since I was working under that organisation. I just kept quiet giving him a stare and he kept asking whether I would call. There was nothing that he could do and I knew that calling that authority would not help as that authority is actually a medium to refer to the other agencies that was in charge of scheduling a date for him for the medical board.

Anyway, what I feel is that, he sure knew how to act. Till now, I am wondering the reason that he had to explain to me without me asking him that his phone didn't have battery so he couldn't call to lodge a complaint.
