Have not seen my doctor for two years

The last time I had seen my doctor for health screening was in April 2019. I schedule my health screening with him every year as a matter of routine. Then Singapore went into a lockdown called Circuit Breaker from April 2020. Last year was Covid-19 pandemic and I did not see my doctor and missed my yearly health screening.

Two years later, I finally got to see my doctor for my health screening this month. The pandemic had stopped me from going to his clinic during this intervening period. Now that the daily Covid-19 infection cases were low for the past week, it gave me confidence to visit his clinic.

It was with trepidation that my health could be worse off because of Covid-19. As it turned out, my health screening results were all right. It was a huge relief.

Being healthy is not a given. We have to continue take care of our bodies and mental health. As we endure more than a year of Covid-19, it remains even more important to take care of ourselves.
