Hospital trip and more!

So, did you guys manage to read my previous post on my nightmare visit to the University Hospital? Few days after that I was contemplating and was merely choosing the right Orthopedic surgeon and the right hospital to go to. After reading one of my reader by the name of Ling, I have decided to give her suggestion a try. So I manage to look up for Dr.Lee Joon Kiong and had made an appointment with him at Tropicana Medical Center.

And the hospital is way out of my expectation. It was quiet, clean, service was excellent and of course, like any amount you will be paying at a private hospital.

Dr. Lee was patient and made sure I understood every single word he said. Drawing out pictures to show me what's what and less I realize, I was in the room for almost an hour. After running some basic test on me, he wasn't really happy with it and strongly suspect that I have slip disc. So basically I'm on medication now and going through sessions of physiotherapy every alternate days for 5 times. I will then have to go back and see him and go through some more test. He did advice me to get the MRI scan done as well and getting it done in a private hospital easily would cost me RM800-RM1k. And that's a tad too much money to handle now. So we'll wait for just a while more till I see him again, and see what he says.

Physiotherapy is such a pain. Doing the traction is what I hate most because of the intense belt-like that they have to wrap around the body and leaving me in such a position that I felt worse before starting in.

And tomorrow morning is another torture. Help?

So I went along with my family with my GP's letter and my X-Ray in hand.

Even Dr. Lee said to me, that sometimes doctors can't even read another doctors handwriting.
2 thumbs up for the honesty!

And this is how the hospital look like at where the Specialist/Surgeons clinics were.
Sis was sitting with me in the waiting room reading a magazine.
And on the far end, you can see my mum on the sofa reading
and my daughter lying down playing with my PSP.

The inside of the waiting room. Complimentary tea/coffee/biscuits. Anyone?

Albeit further away. That's my sis!

And this is the view downstairs.

Yesterday morning was my physiotherapy session. I was getting it done at the Sime Darby specialist which was formerly known as Megah Medical Specialist Center.

The 2nd floor where all the clinics were.

That's my mum! Reading a mag to past time while waiting.

And I got so bored after lying down on the bed for more than half hour I decided to take a pic. I got electrocuted by this things with this patches stuck on my back all the way down to my feet.
So called "to put pressure on my nerves" which left me limping for a while.
And this was before the traction torture.

There's more to go through tomorrow morning! Bah!






And of all days, the clouds are making me smiling for once. Without editing, taken with my mobile LG KS360. Loving it!

To top it off, a merry cheery pic of me and my sis. At the hospital.
