of mother's day and reluctant mum...

It just hit me last Sunday during church that last weekend was mother's day. Unfortunately i didn't manage to get anything for wifey but Sophie kept us really busy. She came down with fever on Sunday. It started with a mild warmness in the morning after her nap, but it slowly progressed to high 37 deg. By evening her temp remain high, and we wiped her before putting her to bed, but later in the night her temp went up all the way to 39.1 deg and we decided to take her to see the doctor. Since it's alredy 11pm we decided to go straight to Pantai. At pantai, the took her temp and it was already 39.6 so the doc administered those butt thing. Sorry la, i really forgot what it was already. but it was simething administered through her anal cavity to control the fever. Poor Sophie. I think that helped. But one thing i really learnt from that midnight visit is that the service really sucks. Not the roomba vacumn cleaner suck, but suck as in lousy. The guy who was supposed to be the doctor there just acted like he 'dropped by' once in a while while attending to other patients. Come over and say something, then walk away, then come over again say something (contradictory I might add!) and then walked away. At first we thought he was just a concerned passer by, Then he came and check Sophie's chest, look for rashed and tried to check her throat. Sophie was obviously irritated and struggled. The guy then say, 'hmmm she don't like' and didn't proceed to check her throat (i think big mistake). Then he walked away and after a while he suggested to us to wait outside the room. We thought that we were waiting for the doctor and I asked her 'Are we waiting for the doctor?' To my surprise, he said 'I'm the doctor'!! So i asked 'Then what are we waiting for' He just mentioned 'For the medicine'. So we waited outside. After a long while the nurse came with the bill and asked us to go to the reception to pay before getting the medicine. So off we go, but the stupid guy who was supposed to be manning the counter was not there and we were kept there waiting for more than 20 minutes while Shopie was hungry asking for milk and getting irritated. Anyway, the guy showed up later, we settled the bill, took the medicine and left.

Sophie's temp went up and down the whole night and by morning it was still high. So we decided to go to see Dr Hasanah. and what really pissed me off is when Dr Hasanah told me that the dosage that the 'Supposedly doctor' administratored to us was too high. and one of the medication that he gave should not be administered with the paracetamol that he gave. She corrected the dosage. But what i am really unhappy about is when she shecked Sophie. Although she was struggling , Dr checked her anyway and when she look at Sophie's throat, she mentioned that Sophie has some infection on her tonsils. When i thought back about all this, i think the moron that was supposed to check Sophie the night before should have caught that. and his 'hmm she don't like' had caused him to mis diagnosed my girl.

Sophie is getting better now, her fever have subsided a bit but she is still cranky and still have not got back her appetite. So still have to be careful and patient with her.

As i am writing this entry, I think i should write in to Pantai and give my feedback on this guy. Seriously. these things needs to be corrected. The supposedly doctor and the dumb guy at the reception.

Anyway, on a happier note. Isaac's mommy finally got off her lazy bumm and started to blog. I have added her blog in my list.
