It was just recently when my workmate was making a joke out of his appointment with JPMC to do stress test till it was discovered some potential problems with his arteries blockages. It was a massive blow considering that balloon angioplasty doesn’t help and he requires a by pass surgery in two weeks time. He was athletic and it really caught us by surprise.
Another friend who was hospitalised more than a year due to major organs failures finally call it a quit. He resigned tho’ he was offered light duty work. His current medications including injections which cost $5k monthly and he’s considered very lucky since medical service plus medicine is free in Brunei. What would be his situation if he’s not a Bruneian ?. You do the math !!
That was just the tip of the iceberg and there are more to it actually if we start looking at it critically and with conscience. Simply, if we can’t maintain good eating habits then be prepared for it. When it happened then it’s certainly no turning back …
