And like hell! Ever been kena “cut throat” places before? Today I got my throat sliced and I think I will be bleeding for some time. I’ve been robbed of RM400!
I always had a problem with my nose from ever since I don’t know when. All this time I understand the problem as sinus. If you don’t know what sinus is, go ask anyone around. Perhaps some may be able to describe to you the problem. However, the problem has been bothering my family because I breathe hard. I visited a GP before which told me the reason I breathe so hard is because the 2 holes inside my nose is blocked by my own skin. Me, accompanied by mom decided to get some professional opinion and boy! as anyone know, professional opinion always comes with professional prices.
Early morning, went to visit this hospital to see the ENT (Ear Nose & Throat) specialist. Waited for like half an hour (although we are patient number 7) then soon it was my turn. Went inside with my nose blocked because it was cold (super cold air con in the morning makes my nose a little runny) and the specialist asked a couple of questions, poked the insides of my nostrils with dunno what medication which opens up my nasal path (so damn pain) then put in this sort of microscope into my nose and then explained a little about my nasal path on the monitor (i think mothers out there can associate this thing something like those machines used to scan your baby in your tummy). Wrote my diagnosis then its time to pay up.
And guess what was the price of my visit? A whopping RM393.33!!! Wah… while blogging now my neck still bleeding..
According to this receipt, my medication cost RM100++. I guess that’s ok gua since he prescribed me 3 medicines. However, the unacceptable part would be the consultation and the tools he used. As stated above, his consultations are RM180++. Imagine, it used to be only RM50 but I guess the increase in petrol prices also make the doctor fees increase!
And remember I mentioned about that tool like microscope punya? just poke a little bit then make my wallet got hole already! That one cost RM115++. Unbelieveable. Make me regret not having the ambition of being a doctor and study hard on my biology during middle school. If I know can earn so much I would have studied even harder (and also try to cheat during exams even harder)
So that’s why now I’m bleeding. Donations, anyone?
I know i know, sinus! I had the same problem, now no more. Ppl said garlic pill can help, feel free to have a try, no harm.
san san, how did you manage to settle it? What brand a? cause doc say I’m at level 7 from the scale of 1-10 being 10 the serious case.
Hey, how u doing? Juz a stranger passing-by.
U should take that pokepoke thing and poke the Doctor, poke him till he gives discount hahaha! ermm, u could also blow out some cendol onto him hahaha! uekkk…
have a nice day!
wah level 7 ar? I dun know what level i was lar, didn’t visit a doc. What i had was, wake up in the morning, will have running nose till the sun stays on top of out head, e.g 11:30am-12pm. Then ok liao. But when come to cleaning room time, wah….the running nose, itch nose come back, very badly. No need brand ler, just buy from pharmacy those OEM garlic pill, 1 tablet a day i took. And…..i think air quality is important too, clean the air-cond filter frequently. If the air-cond is too old, a new old is preferred.
kampungkai, i’m fine. Thank you for visitng my blog. If I know he charge me so good I’ll probably just ask him if I can poke the thing on him so I get some money!
sansan, thanks for the advice. Your case sound very much like my cousin’s. Will definately try the garlic pills and see if your remedy works. Thanks!
