virus/bacteria infection
------------------------
is already a month old news but worth blogging, why?
i believe it's kinda outbreak in s'pore as usual as many of my friends, brother & even my boss also have on medical leave
yiyi also not being spared this time
high fever, up & down for few days for no reason
initially we suspect appendix & send to TTSH (local hospical) for scanning but after some consultation, it should be just fever
somehow.. still useless as we're giving some paracetamol but the fever still going up & down, imagine over 43+ degree Celsius?
we've been to clinic, twice TTSH & even thomson medical
but alas.. TM (Thomson Medical)'s medical expert on antibiotic cure yiyi...
somehow, it come with a price.. no wonder the old saying : in s'pore, u can die but can't get sick because, u'll never can afford the bills.
TTSH - $80 x2
TM - $242
clinic - around $30
CDC - around $80 (communicable disease centre) for bacteria analysis
i guess in total we spend around $510 for this small little fever
u can also compare the government hospital versus private hospital (TM) expertise in such area... one time, straight to the point & effective while for ... haiz... we waste time & money but what's the outcome?
