Suddenly at this senior age, I came to realize the fragility of life and as we aged some friends just drop off or passes away and our health gets weaker during the journey. I have told you before that some people who takes good care of themselves but found out that they have contact serious illness or the big C while those people who live the most rugged life could be ill free. Even those very close to GOD and have been praying intimately with GOD suffers from serious illness or the big C. In other words ,there are no protection for illness.
In the old Chinese saying, if the God fo Hade wants us to die at certain time , we cannot asked to be deferred on our death. Any extension of time is rather impossible and absolute.
As my age grow, I have to do many things to maintain my health and each step is getting difficult as we aged. There so many critical illness and most insurance company offers 36 types of critical illness and as we advance , the list gets shorter and shorter until there is no more insurance coverage for certain disease as we aged. But , on the other hand , the cost of insurance or treatment gets higher by the day. An eye operation for cataract was only RM5K some years ago and now it cost more than RM8K for each eye. How can we bear the cost especially those earned hand to mouth and it is a matter of waiting to die. Reality bites and we all in trouble if we don't plan. If we cannot get a RM1 million coverage , a RM100K coverage could help as well if not much.
I was admitted to a hospital and I have to go through panel doctors to check for the outcome while I have to go through imaging, x-ray and a CT scan in one morning and I think my stay at the Hospital for two days cost me RM5k or more. What if I choose to go to a clinic and get my problem solved without further medical check up, it will only cost me RM150 for the treatment. The difference is the comfort of the hospital compared to a clinic and also the availability of the equipment to check my problem. I makes me feel that the Doctors have a syndicat3e and a plan to catch the big fish if they see want. I have to force to do all the checking without them asking me. What a conspiracy.
Anyway, I know my outcome and I have to be careful on my lifestyle , food and movement . What needs to be done , needs to be done. It maybe a good way or a bad way , but nothing is absolute right or wrong.
Namaste.
