Tawakal Hospital

Last week, on Monday, I went to my panel clinic to seek advise on what to do with my ‘bisul’. Doktor tu kata, tak berani nak buat apa coz that thing kat leher- takut terkena vocal chord nanti, naya je. Dia refer ke HUKM. Then on Wednesday, pergi HUKM. Lepas 2 jam tunggu, sorang jururawat panggil kat kaunter.. tekan sikit bisul tu, pasu bagi appointment utk January 4th 2007 to see the doctor. Hmm.. what if it’s serious?! Well, I was just being dramatic. Isk.. camtu depa handle situation sekarang di HUKM, ek?

So, pergilah ke Pantai Indah Medical Centre. Jumpa doktor di situ. Tekan lagi. RM2500.. he promised not to be more than RM3K. And also.. under GA. Tidur.. mesti kena masuk wad. Entah berapa la I akan end-up pula. Lepas beberapa saranan dari kengkawan, ke Tawakal akhirnya. Jumpa Dr Al-Amin Mohd Daud – a general surgeon. Terus-terang kata nak murah. And dia bagi price – around RM800. Ehh.. jauhnya beza! Terus je setuju utk buat the very next day. Under local je. It took about 30 mins, sampai doktor tu sakit pinggang menunduk, mengerjakan leher I. Then I balik ke day ward, tukar baju, terus balik. The minor op was nicely done. All the procedure cost me about RM550. Hmm.. good value!
