First hospital stay - kkh

It all started on Friday night when I started having a high fever of 39.3deg. I vomited my milk halfway thru my night feed soiling daddy newly bought bedsheet used for 3 days.

Morning came, daddy n mummy brought me to kkh as I sound badly congested with every breath I take. There, we took a queue no, went thru the triage then payment before seeing the doctor. The flow was strange as you need to settle payment before seeing the doctor. With that, there go $85.

We were directed to room 11 for doc consultation. Till this stage everything seems to be fast n smooth flowing. My doctor is a female philippina, Dr ludy. She prescribed me with a dose of medic to be inhaled via a nubelizer and a syrup to clear my phlegm. It was my first encounter with then nubelizer. It was terrifying and chaotic as I struggled thru the entire session which lasted 10 mins. I was literally pin down by daddy and mummy to inhale. Follow by a 2hr wait inclusive of nurse monitoring at the 1hr interval.

The outcome of the nubelizer n medic was not as effective as perceived. Doctor requested for further monitoring. I was hence admitted to women's tower ward 62, bed 31. Here, nurse and doctors repeatedly ask daddy n mummy familiar sets of qtns such as any allergy, what's the symptoms of the illness. Daddy has to go home to get my own diaper, milk powder etc as kkh dont have them n even if there do they are chargeable. The room we chose was of class b2 with aircon, no tv , 5 bedded w attached toilet/bathroom, foldable bed for one parent (if the patient is below 12)and follow up visit will be categorized under subsidized rates. The cost was estimated to cost between $800-900 for 3days. It was totally unexpected as we are leaving for japan in a few days. One would certainly be packing their luggage then b in the hospital. Hopefully I will recover fast.
