I would often smirk and sigh..The truth is, I am not happy at all with my work. Call me a lousy businessman, or a lousy cosmetic doctor if you wish to. But I often turn patient away, convincing them that they need not such expensive jabs just to get ride of 1-2 fine lines that does not reduce her overall appearance. It's against my conscience to perform procedures which I sincerely do not see any fault is it. Some individuals are so self conscious, that it simply doesn't make sense paying hundreds if not thousands for a few simple jabs, to my opinion simply to satisfy their insatiable psychological insecurities rather than the actual anatomical deficit. All of us grow old. Unless if you have actually found the found the fountain of youth, otherwise, growing old and haggard is the inevitable.
I simple can't stand when some women come from great distances simple to treat their pigmentation which is hardly noticeable.
It is those little peccadilloes of imperfections that makes a person perfect. I felt unfortunate for them actually. If that's not enough, I sometimes wonder whether do I give them the impression that I am a person whom you can bargain with after a procedure's being done. I am unhappy most of the time these woman walk out from my clinic. Why am I doing this to myself???
I reflect upon life, and the patients that I attend to on a weekly basis in Tzu Chi clinic in Jalan Pudu are the actual people who does the healing for me..
Last week, I saw this patient with filiriasis.
This.... is reality, my friends!!!
