Demam!

My Neneil (danial) can now say the word demam clearly. His vocab is increasing gradually, both Bahasa and English. Of course the English are from the square and colourful, Mr. TV.

Last night we went to Dr. A's clinic at the Likas Plaza. Neneil fever is approaching 38-39 degree celcius. He was too weak to enjoy his Barney's song, not even the Miska Muska, Mickey Mouse. He closed his eyes, but not sleeping. Some time, he called out his Ayah, with his soft and weak voice. Lemah betul dia semalam. So, after Maghrib we went to Likas. We reached there about 7.30 pm. It was early. The clinic will not open until 8 pm, but to our surprise the back door was open. So quickly we went inside. The makcik at the counter was shocked (sbb heran mcm mana kami bulih masuk).

Makcik : Eh, Dr. belum sampai lagi. Kami bukak pukul 8.
Me : Ya, ndak apalah. Saya mo register jak dulu.

So, after that we went to a kedai mamak downstair. I tried to give Neneil the fried rice. He only ate 2 spoon. That's good enough considering he has the blister in his mouth. Then, he drank kakak Nurul's Ice Milo. Hantam jak lah.. ais pun ais lah.. yg penting dia minum. Coz recently he refuse to drink milk.

Around 8 pm, I brought Neneil to the clinic again. The rest still membantai roti telur at the mamak's. The clinic was so packed of people. Heran.. dr manalah diorang dtg tiba2 menyerbu. While waiting, came a mother and a son sitting beside me.

Mom : Demam?
Me : Iya.
Mom : Dr sudah sampai?
Me : Belum lagi.
Mom : Dr selalu lambat kan?
Me : (Smilling)

Yes, when you come to this clinic you should be prepare of the situation of over crowded and although it said the clinic open at 8 pm, does not mean the doctor will be there at 8 pm. Sometime 8.30 pm still no show.

So why people keep coming to this clinic? For me because the Dr's treatment satisfies me. He will check his patients in detail. Care to explain, why this and that happen. What to do in case of emergency or high fever or baby fall head first or kena air panas etc. I always feel condifident and happy with his consultation. Also the medicine was good, I mean ngam with my family (although it was quite expensive compare to others).

Neneil got the antibiotic jag - one dose jag - so he doesn't need to take the antibiotic for the whole week. Because the fever is quite high, kena sumbat. Got medicine for his cough and runny nose.
Not long after that, he can lift his head and say bye2 to the makcik. Cepat juga kesan ubat tu aa..

Last night he slept well, all through the night. I checked his fever at the midnight, but it was reducing. Mudah2an anak ummi cepat sembuh.
