Ho Sam Mo Ho Po

In Cantonese translation, it means, being kind-hearted, but never get rewarded back with kindness.

Probably as a result of going to too many drug talks, my lipid profile had gone haywire.

Last checked three months ago, my total cholesterol was 6.9 and my LDL was 4.2.

I prescribed myself Lovastatin, cheap-cheap, but sadly (as a physician) that is the only statin I could prescribed here. The rest of the statins need our head to counter-sign.

Despite on Lovastatin, my cholesterol level went up further.

Now, I am really scared it would clog up all my arteries.

I had wanted to prescribed to myself Lipitor, but the pharmacist refused to give me because apparently, the "quota bullshit-thing" for Lipitor has finished, and no more available for new patient.

I felt a little upset, because, as a specialist, I used to help my patients by prescribing them good medicine, but when it was my turn, who the heck in the MOH would even care.

Damn it!

So, I got an idea, though I had to travel across the strait, I asked a friend to prescribe to me the Lipitor which is freely given without question asked.
