How I wish 长今 was here...
Now Korean TV series are very popular is Spore but I only follow up 大长今. Heard from my mum this is an true story. 长今 is the first female doctor in the Korean Empire. I shall not elaborate on the story but she is a very capable doctor with very noble moral and what I want to say is today doctors are more dollar factor and less patient oriented... My girls' have been coughing for a month but still no sign of improvement after seeing few time GP... I was thinking cannot save this type of money already so decided to bring them to the Paediatrician as Clarabelle was down with a fever too. The PD's diagnosis was bronchitis and they required to neb. When I heard this, I was so sad and blame myself for not bringing them to the PD eariler so the girls wont need to suffer so long despite the total medical cost is ( cons $45, neb $20,med $16, $20... + GST ) x 2 = $304!
What disturb me was, later the day, Clara was down with fever 39dec and I realised the PD's prescription did not include for fever. I called up the PD and was told " OH, I thought u have your own panadol already... anyway I expect her fever to up and down but you can come down tonight (clinic closed in the afternoon, re-open 7pm) to get the " xxx " (xxx- tablet insert asshole for quick suppress fever) incase in the mid-night she run a high fever. I was very pissed off as in the morning she had told me if Clara's fever exceed 38.4dec I have to bring her down for an xray as the symptom can be pneumonia. And now she has another saying and how can she just assume that I have my own panadol before even ask me do I need panadol and of course if I have seen a doctor, I will just take the doctor prescription and stop the previous whatever medicine. Anyway she shut me off, I decided to send my girls straight to KK hosp for an x-ray. Luckily their result are positive thought I spent another $65 x 2 = $130 and add that day TOTAL MEDICAL CONSULTATION COST = $434 !!!
There goes my "Progress Package" money as I tot finally I can have some saving : (...
Whatever... Girls, you both must get well soon... Mummy love you...
