Joian had this small pimple since last week. We didn't think much about it till... yesterday cos that little pimple has grown... So we went to the GP near our place and was told that Joian has a bacteria infection and the pimple has developed into an abscess. We were given two options - one is to give him antibiotics, the other is to go the hospital to do a cut and drain out the pus. We decided to go KK.
We reached KK at abour 9 plus, we knew that the more severe cases would be attended first, Joian's case wasn't that serious, and also there were many fever patients in the waiting area, so we decided to wait outside, but we kept going back to check our number. Our queue number was 323. At about 2 am, the number was still 305 and that was a jump from 292, so we were like thinking, " Wow, the wait was really very long...." So I think hubby decided to check with the nurse, and he was told that Joian's name was called at around 12!! We were really frustrated cos we didn't know that they would call out names!! So our queue number had been cancelled. The nurse then re-registered us, and guess what our number was then 411!!!! Really frustrating!! Since we hhave waited for so long, we continued.... Finally was our turn at 4 plus, but the doc couldn't do the cut cos Joian drank some water, so we waited for another 1 hour before the cut. And we finally reached home at 6 plus in the morning..... Hubby couldn't go for his training and I couldn't go to school. The poorest is our darling Joian who has to suffer the long wait, the injection (that supposed to make him not feel the pain) and the 1 1/2 cm long cut...
Could hear him cry while we waited for him out the treatment room. The nurse said he would feel slight pain, but will not remember the procedure.. still very poor darling...
