I went to a physio about my sore wrist. Initial consultation and ultrasound therapy set me back $55. Then I got a proper cast made up at the next session $95. And after paying $45 for “ice therapy” I decided not to go back.

I told my mother about it and she said, “Aiyah don’t spend so much money on those kind of things!”

She gave me an unlabelled bottle of Chinese Medicine and told me to rub some into my wrist every evening.

It looked like soy sauce.
And smelt like rotten plums.

It made my hand smell like marinated chicken wings after a few days. And it disturbed me that people I meet might get a whiff of it.
