Darius had been having a fever since Saturday. We always have difficulties feeding him medication whenever he's unwell cuz he will either spit it out or vomit right after.
Taken at 5.30am on Tuesday
After the fever raised to 39.1 degree at 5.30am on Tuesday, discussion with my dad, and decided to bring him to KKH.
You may ask me, why not a GP? It's his 4th day of fever. A GP is sufficient for general. But not sufficient if the doctor feels that it's necessary to do some test, like maybe blood count?
I took half day leave and left for KKH with Darius & Yati.
Upon arrival KKH, we went to the private children's clinic as I don't think it's necessary to go a&e. But they truly disgusted me with their actions.
I was there about 11am and while trying to register at the children's clinic & the conversation between me & the staff as follow:-
Me: I want to register for my son to see the dr
Staff: there's only 1 doctor today & so waiting time will b long
Me: ok can, no problem
Staff: but the dr have her own patients that have appt & as well as walk in patients
Me: uh-huh?
Staff: waiting time is really really long! Like 1-2 hours.
Me: sure
Staff: u sure u wan to wait so long?
Me: *thinking wtf* so where u wan me to go?
Staff: hmm whats the problem with your child?
Me: fever since Saturday
Staff: maybe I take his temp first cuz too high we don't accept have to go a&e. *after taking temp* 38.4. Too high. U have to go a&e.
Seriously & honestly, I feel a big part of the reason why they don't wan to accept us is cuz they wan to go for their lunch! Fcuk it.
At the hospital, Darius wearing the jacket my sis bought from London
Everything at a&e was great! Service was fast & good. And what surprise me is that when the nurse fed him med he took it willingly & never vomit. Make me really gek!!
Process to do blood test & waiting 1 hour for the result
This lil boy didn't cry at all during the blood taking procedure but suddenly burst out crying when he saw the plaster -.-
Results is normal and diagnosis with upper respiratory Tract infection.
He still have fever about once a day. Hope it stops and soon he can go back to sch (:
Get well soon my lil boy!
looking after a sick boy at 5.25am and decide to blog for a bit.
My wedding is less then 2 months away! And now my biggest problem is weight lost. Desperate till I decide to try acupuncture slimming!
Googled and saw good reviews from forum this tcm at upper changi road, bedok called shanghai TCM. Cheap cheap compare to others who ripped u off cuz they know slimming is the most common thing!
I made an appt on Thursday at 7.20pm and took the straight bus from office.
After registration was show asked to weigh myself after going to the toilet. Then asked to lie down on the bed & wait for the 医师 as it was quite crowded that day.
In the clinic there's a total of 6 beds. I was shown to mine.
The 医师 came shortly after. Just asked to show my tongue and she proceed with the acupuncture. Needles poked everywhere - tummy, both legs and arms. I counted, total 30 needles.
Thereafter I was left alone for approx 5 mins with this thing giving the warm sensation on my tummy
After 5 mins she came in, telling me that she need to use a bit of current. She tied 4 wire each on my Tummy and thigh. And it'll 'vibrate' when the current flow thru.
This only lasted for a min, then im left for the rest of the 20-30 mins with just the heat sensation.
After 20-30 mins the 医师 came in to remove the needles and did cupping on my tummy and thighs. Please ignore my fats in the below pix =x
Will continue to go back & hopefully it's effective!
