Tampines Polyclinic: CISCO Officer choke slams angry patient to the ground! (video)

This was in last January, my mum was assigned there sometimes to help out the staff. She mentioned to me an incident last January which was caught on video. I didn't know about it until recently and I manage found it on YouTube.

After watching the video, I have to salute the CISCO officer for restraining the man like that. The Indian man was unruly and was touching the CISCO officer like as if picking a fight with him. The officer had to raise his voice because the man was not being cooperative. Of course, the officer had to do what he did.

The choke slam at the end really was the highlight! That was an amazing move and truly justifiable. The man deserved it! Now we know why we need CISCO officers in polyclinics.

My mum works in hospitals and polyclinics and she agrees that there will be difficult patients around who start to be unruly. Sometimes, the staff gets hurt in the process. Incidences like this is the reason why we need security personnels around to ensure the safety of the staff and public.

Outstanding job CISCO man!

Back from the dentist chair

I haven't seen the dentist for a very long time. The last time I did was in the army and that was just consultation. So imagine the scaling I went through. When I sat down in the chair, I had to wear those big orange glasses and a little bib on my chest. The dentist had like 4 instruments in my mouth! I guess it was a surprise to me since I never had so many instruments in my mouth before. And I thought it was just a simple filling but after she took a look at my teeth she said she is going to clean up a bit. A bit huh? I sat there for 20 mins with all those instruments prodding in my mouth.

She had an assistant. She was responsible for putting those mini-vacuums in my mouth to suck out the fluids in my mouth so I won't have to spit it out often. There were 2 of those. One near the back of my mouth and the other around the area the dentist was cleaning. The dentist had those long, round mirror ends and some kind of pressurizing needle which blows out strong pressure. I have to admit, when she went to clear up the tartar of my teeth, it felt like someone scratching on the chalkboard. A lot of blood was flowing between my gums but she said it was normal and it should heal within the day. After the scaling, she suggested that I remove one of my wisdom tooth because it didn't look too good. So another appointment for that. :)

Overall, it wasn't that bad. The people there were friendly and happy to serve you, including the ladies at the registration desk. Even though I was still bleeding, my teeth felt a lot more cleaner especially between my teeth. My gums now looks more pink rather than red previously. I paid under $40 dollars for examination & diagnosis and complex scaling.

I seriously suggest all of you to get your teeth checked. It really feels good after the scaling. Maybe if I have I time, I'd ask for polishing. :)
