I have spent some $600
for this month on medical bills. No, it was not some common illness. It
was an old injury which I got it during my younger days as a technician.
Occupational health
hazards are a common issue for technician who are exposed to toxic
chemicals and hazardous physical activities that involved a lot of
carrying and climbing. When we were still young, we tend
to ignore such potential health hazards. I did not wear any gloves when
handling chemicals and oils, so now I am having some skin allergy
issue. I injured my neck spline while working at a pro-long duration
handling heavy stuffs in improper posture, but because
I was still young I heal fast and it did not reoccur over the years. As
I aged however, it came back to haunt me like a persistent ghost and I
ended up spending $$$ to get it restored.
Recurring injuries are a long
term issue and can become a potential financial
burden as this indirectly increase the cost in wellness expenses. I
certainly paid a price for it.
The greatest gift we can
have in life is to be well and healthy. Only then we can really enjoy
what life has to offer for us. Without health, we ended up spending our
time fighting the illness and injuries with
our hard-earned incomes, and derives us the time to live our life. Life
is short, we have such little time to do the things we like to do, and I
lost so much time travelling and sitting in the clinic for hours.
Time once lost is lost forever. So don’t act hero. Please protect yourself and your future.
