2 Sutures have Inflammation

I was at Physio again yesterday morning.  She advise me to see the doctor as she notice my wound is leaking fluid.  She say 2 sutures are not good and I need to see the doctor again.  The doctor prescribed strong antibiotics as it may be my body reacting to the sutures.  I will have to see him again next week to check on the wound.

I am glad this Physiotherapist who is Senior asked me to go.  I cannot drop in to see the doctor.  The reception insist the Physio to call my doctor before the appointment is accepted.  It is the system.  I do not like it as it seems like they are making it difficult for patient to do followup if they are experiencing any unusual symptoms.

The thing good about Japan is I could consult a specialist directly
without a referral from a gp.

The healthcare system is far superior compared to Singapore. It is also very affordable. This is why the average life span in Japan is so much higher.
