The Hospital

I went to visit my cousin at the Singapore General Hospital last night. He had to go through surgery to remove his appendix due to appendicitis. Well, the good thing about it is that he do not have to fork out a single cent as he was covered by MINDEF. Apparently, he was on duty during is reservist at the National Day Parade rehearsal.

While I was a medic during my National Service, my superior once told me that there is no specific function of the appendix. He even said it was a useless piece of organ attached to our small intestines. Haha. Even different doctors had different claims on the function of the appendix. Well, I believe that everything have a reason to exist. Am I right?
