Paeds Clinic

Since Miss A's birth, we have gone to a few paeds around PJ.  Here's my feedback on them though they will remain anonymous unless you are really interested to know who they are, you can write your email in the comment section.

1. Dr. Nxxxxx in a hospital in PJ
Miss A's first paed.  He is good and very soft spoken to the kids.  Insurance claim also always 100% because the hospital is affiliated to my workplace. The reason why I don't go there anymore is because he doesn't have evening or weekend clinics.  And sometimes during a visit, it can be quite long as he needs to go for ward rounds or emergency surgery, etc.

2.  Dr. Kxx in a private clinic in KL
I love this paed the best.  Although the queue can be quite long, Dr Kxx is very patient and gave her best to the babies/child.  Especially if newborn, she will spend at least half an hour to measure and check them thoroughly.  Lots of parents like her too, which means you have to be there in the queue from 7.30am, although they open only at 8.30am.  When she gave injection, she would ask me to let my girl nurse while she jab her so that it is comforting and not too shocking.  I really like that style.  The reason why I don't go there anymore is because of the distance and also the queue.  I have to always take half day leave to see her as she doesn't have evening clinics and Saturday only half day and always, always full.

3. Dr. Kxxx in a private clinic in PJ
This doctor is an elderly doctor and he is also quite good with kids.  He has evening clinics on selected days and I think he doesn't have weekend clinics.  The only thing I am not too comfortable is the way he jabs my girl.  He would ask me to hold my girl's hands while his nurse hold my girls' legs while he jabs her.  My girl is always terrified of jabs because of this.  I like that he has evening clinics and the queue is relatively short.  Easier for me to bring my girl after working hours.  

4. Dr. Oxx in a private clinic in PJ
Recently I have been going to this clinic quite often as they have evening clinics and weekend clinics as well.  So, very convenient for working parents.  And it is very near to my home, so it's very convenient for emergency, etc.  However, I don't like the way she jab my girl at all.  It is worse than Dr. Kxxx.  She would hold my girl down with force on her own and jab her and I am just standing from afar watching this.  My girl was extremely terrified by this method and cried like crazy.  I know my girl can handle jabs as we did many jabs from the Klinik Kesihatan and their method is for me to hold my girl while the nurse jab her.  And most of the time she doesn't even cry.  But this is too much.

And my most recent episode at this clinic made me think twice about bringing her there again.  The doctor prescribed her with Colimix Syrup but the nurse who gave me the medicine gave me Antamin Syrup instead.  My girl went there for stomach flu and Colimix is supposed to remove the wind from her stomach but I gave her antihistamines instead.  I went back there the next day after spotted the mistake and instead of giving me an apology, they just gave me the correct medicine and was very defensive, telling me that the antihistamines doesn't really harm.  I will write a full post on this next.

Review: Grand Lexis vs Lexis Hibiscus at Port Dickson

I have been to both and can honestly tell you that I much preferred Lexis Hibiscus to Grand Lexis.  And here's why. Lexis Hibiscus Pros: 1. Very near to the highway. 2. Located near the beach (although very small area). 3. Food stalls located within walking distance to the hotel. 4. Better services from the staff. 5. Bigger pathway for walkers and cyclist (for those who like to do some walking and cycling). 6. Better view of the sea. 7. Swimming pool is located outside the chalet with sea view (depends where the chalet is facing). 8. Sauna is provided in the chalet. 9. Wide spread of breakfast buffet. Cons: 1. A bit more pricey. 2. Public pool is boring. 3. No kitchenette. 4. If it rains, the sound on the roof is very loud because of the material of the roof (sounds like zinc roof). 5. Toilet door is without lock.   Grand Lexis Pros: 1. Nice public pool with slides for the kids. 2. Big swimming pool inside each room. 3. W...

The Big Kindy Search Continues

Since my last The Big Kindy Search post , I have been looking around for kindies and been visiting some.  Here's my feel about them all. 1) Tadika Diyana Read good reviews about this and decided to check them out, though out of our way and far from home.  I love how the price is quite ok but still a bit on the high side (you can check it out at their website). I visited the premise and I really love how it is run like a mini primary school.  It's huge, with its own hall, field and canteen, although downsize version and it's just like a school.  Not like a bungalow with rooms as classroom.   However, I have decided not to send my girl because they will be moving to Sungai Penchala (further up from TTDI, near to the Penchala Link), which will be much further from our home.  Though they do have transporters, but I feel very wary about sending my 4 year old (next year) to a transporter. What I like about Tadika Diyana is they have 2 medi...

PPUM Pediatrics Emergency Department

Being a mom proves to be the hardest job in the world.  Accidents do happen but when they actually happened, most people will panic and unsure what to do.  And when it involves kids, and being the mother of the only child, with no prior emergency experience, this is a traumatizing and frightening episode and a lesson for me to learn. My 3.5 years old girl was being very curious and naughty that fateful day.  She stood on the chair and play with my massage oil and containers and broke one of the small glass cups and when she panicked she came down from the chair and stepped on the broken glass. She was bleeding a lot and crying.  Since this happened at about 10.30pm, my first response was to drive her to a 24-hour clinic.  So, we went to the 24-hour Mediviron clinic but was turned away by the nurses, stating that her case is very serious and need to be referred to a hospital instead. My mind at that time was running at full speed.  I wasn't sure...
