We had an episode yesterday...
Dad has not been feeling well since 2 weeks ago...even before he balik kampung he complaint that he was dizzy....but we just brush it off...
as he balik kampung, we didn't know that he was not feeling well the whole of his trip and he said he didn't eat anything at all...until he came back...that was 10 days...the nite he came back we notice he was not well... we decided to send him for check up the next day as he was "yellow". His skin was showing yellow and then his eyes were blood shot...
the Dr said was simply a case of suspected denggi or either dehydrated... after a week he wen to check again the same diagnose given..but he was still week and didn't want to eat....knowing my dad...you will know he is very sick when he refuse to eat....
I was contemplating of having a second opinion from a private hospital for a week i was thinking of it...but because of financial circumstances i decided to put it on hold...
then yesterday came...
i seldom sms my mom asking how my dad was...but i did ...then she said he was feeling numb at the hands....that kept me worried...as i check all the symptom i decided to search online....and it sounded like a minor stroke...and when i describe to friends at work they all said the same thing....so i decided darn it..just send before it's too late...or before i will regret the rest of my life...so i called asking him to get ready....
my journey home was the hardest thing ...and the longest ride i was still having second thoughts when it comes to money....(yeap i know....i am hopeless)... i prayed so hard for a sign....a sign that i didn't need to send him ....I was telling God this better be the best decision i have ever made.....
So decided to send him to KPJ.. it was our first time.....when we asked around they send us to the emergency and immediately said they wanted to monitor the heart...
We were told that they need to scan him....so i agreed and ask to check everything...
Poor thing.....i could sense that he was so tense....and was worried...so i just kept quite....he ask me how much would it cost...i say don't care just as long as we know what happen.....
this was what he was injected until now i don't know wth was it...but oh well....
well we had an episode in the hospital...we waited so so so so long...to me it was too long for a private hospital to be treated.....after the scanning and everything we waited for 3 hours.......!!! for the Dr to come...the nurses told me that they only had 1 Dr....hmm..pfffttt!!!
as i was waiting..and waiting....and waiting...
the emergency department was actually not that full to be waiting so long........
i saw a beautiful sunset.....and my heart just melted away...This was waiting in the emergency department...thoughts of being in a worst family emergency played through my mine....i was thinking...how will cope...how will i feel...how will i face stuffs like that....(sendiri main dengan feeling sendiri...BODOH...) i didn't know who to tell...what to tell...!so i just kept my silence....
I was standing the whole time next to this bed....wanted to just climb in and sleep on it.......
after hours of waiting we finally was consulted by a Dr...!!
I really didn't like his style of talking... he was quite rude..... first saying that dad's white blood cell had increase....then after we were on the way to the pharmacy....to be called back saying that he was given a wrong result?????what the heckk!! for a well known PRIVATE HOSPITAL....!!!!
this was the result... it was Dengue!!!
I don't know whether i should be happy or to just cry....!!! all the trouble just to be told it was denggi...i could have just paid RM1 for the whole denggi test.... but instead i had to pay a whole RM1.5k just to be told that....
I will be lodging a formal complain apart from the ones that i had written at their suggestion box and online review...!!it's not the matter of just payment...but to get such a lousy service is unacceptable......
hmppp.. Jane Jane...why are you sooooo hopeless...............!! atleast we now know that it was not his heart!!.....i have not been so angry and sad at the same time for so longgggggggggggg....and now i still don't know whether i did a wrong move....!!
but what made my heart melt was this group of people..they were praying for an uncle openly at the waiting room ...oh how i wish i would have the courage to do that in front of so many people around....it is nice to have a support group that you know that you can count on even so as to say a little prayer with you.....
so the morale of the story...which i don't know...!! but thank GOD that everything was fine....
Cheers to Pa....and for many more years to come...!!
FUDNOTE: Paying hundreds for food and clothes...what is RM1.5k for a check up!! (gulp...)
