Our Government Doctors..
I never believe in our government hospital not when I heard my friend once told me that her mom friend will not be able to have any child in her life anymore due to the doctor read the x-ray film wrongly. The doctor actually cut off her fallopian tubes. Both! Yes! One side is due to she is having an Ectopic pregnancy where she were asked to remove her tube. As she was ready to have one of her tube remove, she never ready for the fact that the doctor will misread the x-ray film and cut her another tube off while the one needed to be remove was still there intact nicely and safely.
A week after the surgery, she found something was real wrong and went again to see the doctor and guess what, the doctor told her that he cut off the healthy one and she HAVE to undergo another surgery to cut off the one that suppose to be off. So, she got no choice at all. Either she cut of the remaining or just wait risky her own life. Of course, she have to undergo the surgery and with that one simple surgery, she lost her ability to be pregnant forever. Well thanks to our government doctor!
Anyway, that is another story. But today I read an article in The Star and here is the news..what do you think? can you still believe in them? Can you still be able to depend your live on them? Guess not..
A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD boy was given a prescription to take four antibiotic tablets four times a day – a dosage considered high even for an adult, Kosmo! reported.
The boy, Ashraff Hateimi, was given the prescription to take 16 tablets of Cloxacillin (250mg) a day by a doctor in a government hospital in Kajang.
His father, Ahmad Noor Zaini Mohd Amin, 36, said he found the prescription “hard to believe” when he had it filled at the hospital pharmacy.
He had brought his son to the hospital after Ashraff fell from his bed and cut his forehead. The wound required three stitches.
“I was worried that they had given my son the wrong prescription.”
“But when I asked, they (the hospital staff) rudely replied that the medication was based on the doctor’s slip,” he told the tabloid on Sunday.
Not satisfied with the explanation, Ahmad Noor Zaini brought his son to a private clinic near his home for a second opinion.
“The doctor was shocked with the amount of antibiotics prescribed for my son, which he said was also too much for an adult,” he said.
