FOC

29th August (Friday) - It's Friday already? Holy, this means I've been working for nearly a month. Wow, this also means my mo-neh should be coming in very soon, hopefully on the 31st. According to everyone, it usually comes out on the end of every month for not confirmed staff.
Today, I came early as always. Today I'm posting at the FOC. Free of Charge. No, I'm joking. The acronyms stands for Front Admission Counter. Basically, I'm supposed to just sit there, tag with one of the staff and observe what they do. I'll admit, I'm only good with admission, discharge and appointment. But if you're asking about registration, sorry, I'm the wrong person to ask. I'm useless at registering patients, but when it comes to answering the patients' questions regarding about wards and operations, I'm your girl. Most of the patients do ask questions about the ward settings, visiting hours and operation times and fasting. Good thing I was there. The front office counter staff are Layman so they can't give full details of the ward.
There's really not much to talk about to be really honest. Besides admission, payment is also done at there. Patients give their charge forms, or wait for their folders to be processed and then pay with either cash, credit card or insurance claim. Simple right?
I went to settle my APC and guess what. I gotten the wrong example and foolishly followed the whole postal order and burned twenty bucks.Darn it. Long story short, I have to rely on a friend to help me buy. I hope she gets it on time because Tuesday is the deadline.
I'm heading to the wards tomorrow and darn it, the Sister jokingly assigned me to that old lady again. Nooooooooo.
