My family doctor has been taking care of us for the past 9 years and we all visited her for various illnesses, including the time we all had covid.
Recently I’m having some bleeding from passing motion. I’m very sure it piles and superficial as the blood is bright red, but the bleed has been going for a few days and I’m getting worried. My wife suggested to visit our family doctor to check it out.
Here’s the issue. My family doctor is female, probably same age as me and very pretty too. I’m very sure she’s gonna ask me to undress and poke me to check. I will feel awkward for that situation, especially knowing that she knows my kids and wife.
I was thinking to visit other random doctors but part of me think its still better for her to check for the record.
If you’re me what will you do?

Go get yourself checked out and don’t waste time worrying about seeing your regular family doctor. Just go see a male doctor so you feel more comfortable.
Don’t think GP does any poking and checking. If not just go to a nearby male Dr.. simple
Two alleged thieves were running away from the police at Bedok when one of the suspects reportedly attempted to climb up the walls of a HDB building while trying to flee the cops.
The Spider-man wannabe ended up being arrested because he failed to climb up the building because he didn’t have the same superpowers as Peter Parker.
Shin Min Daily News reported that the incident took place on 17 September at Block 203 Bedok North Street 1.
The police were chasing the two youths in relation to a suspected case of theft when the two suspects then panicked and decided the best court of action was to climb onto a ledge on the second floor of the building.
A resident who lives on the 3rd floor of the HDB building spoke to SMDN and said that she was resting at home when she heard shouts emanating from outside her flat’s window.
She glanced outside and saw two youths standing on the outside ledge of the wall on the second floor, with several police officers below them on the ground floor.
The SCDF were also seen at the scene, along with ambulances.
The two suspects then knocked on windows of different units, hoping with futility that one of the residents would allow them in.
After getting no response from the residents, one of the suspects jumped off the ledge and fled, leaving behind his partner in crime to face the music himself.
The 3rd floor resident (mentioned above) then closed her window immediately, afraid of the possibility that the “abandoned” suspect who was still on the ledge would make his way onto her unit on the 3rd floor.

The Tangshan barbecue restaurant beating case that caused a sensation across the world ushered in the verdict today.
The first offender, Chen Jizhi, was sentenced to 24 years in prison and a fine of 320,000 yuan.
The remaining 27 defendants were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from 6 months to 11 years.
Background:
In a viral video uploaded on Weibo, a man was seen trying to take advantage of a woman who was dining.
After the man was rejected he resorted to an act of violence to “cover” his rejected pride.
He started attacking the woman and the woman’s friend came in to help only to get hit by the rest of the men as well.
It was not just punches and kicks, the men used chairs and beer bottles to hit the helpless group of women.
The woman was eventually dragged outside of the shop as the group of men took turns hitting the woman at the entrance.
The man pulled the woman by her hair and kicked her head saying “cry, cry some more”.
A woman who is working at the store was seen stepping out of the store and was warned by one of the men to walk away.
One of the men was so dumb that he hit his own girlfriend in the confusion only to hug his girlfriend saying sorry. ( 2min 16 seconds).

Netizens outraged
The post went viral and many people commented that it is best to ignore them when you encounter this kind of person.
“After reading the news, my mother said, don’t resist, let alone insult them, when you encounter such people, run away when you get the chance, don’t expect others or the police to save you, sisters, don’t be deceived by the ostensible stability in the current society. Even if something happens, the bad guy won’t get the punishment he deserves. It’s not that I’m pessimistic, it’s just that what happened repeatedly taught me how to survive in this society.”
” I have been reminding myself not to go out at night, encountering wicked people is more scary than ghosts, these wicked people have no law at all”
“Men in black clothes and green clothes must be sentenced to death. I’m mad when I watch the video, but if a man goes up and stops it, it will not cause such serious injuries!”
China’s social problems
It is common that no one will help or come in to stop them if such a situation happens as most people do not want to be part of the problem or solution.
Most people in China’s society will ignore, watch or walk away.
He later planned to buy a Singapore motorcycle when he heard that the use of foreign vehicles in Singapore would be banned in July, and wanted to convert his Malaysian bike license to a Singapore one.
But he was afraid that he would fail the BTT test, and asked a co-worker to introduce an agent to him for help him convert his license, paying the agent $500 for the help.
The agent then schemed with another person (Zhang) to take the test for Goh, with Zhang seeing an advertisement offering him $200 to him Goh take the test.
Zhang appeared at the SSDC on 28 June to help Goh take the test, and he was told by the agent to meet him outside the centre after the test to collect his payment.
Zheng displayed Goh’s work permit to the SSDC tester, passing it off as his own, but was asked to take off his face mask for identity verification.
They then noticed that Zhang didn’t look like the person in the work permit and was unable to state his FIN number.
The tester then asked Zhang for other documents to verify his identity, and Zhang then left before returning with Goh; the police were later informed of the incident.
A 55-year-old newspaper vendor was found dead inside his van after being inside his parked vehicle for about 6 hours, according to Shin Min Daily News.
The incident happened near a block of flats in Aljunied on 21 September at around 9am.
The deceased had been inside his van for 6 hours, arousing the suspicions of a nearby furniture shop owner, who called the police. Another passer-by went to check on the driver inside the van, and found that he had died inside his vehicle.
The police are currently investigating the case.
SMDN reported that the incident took place at 119 Aljunied Avenue 2, at an outdoor carpark, and that the newspaper vendor had parked his vehicle there, probably to prepare for his goods.
The owner of a nearby grocery shop, Mr Zhang, told SMDN that he went down to take a look when he heard about a driver who had been inside his vehicle for a long period of time with the aircon still running.
He then tapped on the man’s window but got no response, before discovering that the door was unlocked and found that he wasn’t breathing.
A woman who is presumably the deceased’s wife, later arrived at the scene, holding him for 10 minutes as she cried out “why did you have to leave this way?”
The police soon arrived at the scene, and the grocery shop owner’s mother then tried to comfort the wife, who was visibly grieving.
The police also checked the CCTV footage from a nearby clothing shop, showing that the deceased has not left his van throughout.
