{ 39.3 degrees high fever }

even thou tot was coughing and runny nose for a about a week now... the normal panadol and woods cough mixture did not help at all.
Last night she slept so early and informed me that she had a headache.

This morning as i woke her up to get ready for school.. she shivered and told me again that her head is very pain..and as i felt her fore head... FEVER was confirmed!

What is a mother to do but to take childcare leave to attend her sick / weak child.
As i put her back to sleep with a wet facecloth on her head... I sent a sms to inform i was on childcare leave.
How can i sleep when I'm so worried about tot... at 10:30am i woke her up and got her ready to see the doctor.
The place where we usually go by that time will have many ppl waiting and u can forget about going to poly clinic... even thou its cheap... the waiting time is a WASTE of time and pisses me off.

So as marine parade is near.. i google up medical clinics at parkway parade.
Kinder Clinic is well known for a kids clinic so as my poor wee tot is so weak, i did fear it was H1N1...so i better take her to a good doctor.
The waiting time is bout 30-45mins but u gotta put up with kids running around.
I did realised that most of the other patients are from the higher class or foreigners.

but i also want the best for tot.. can not meh?

when it was our turn the Dr you can tell is very qulified.
She ask if we wanted to put the capslue up the bum hole which will reduce the fever dramticly.
but tot had that done when younger and very bad exprerince where the anus bleed a bit... so i didnt want to go thru that again if there are other opions.
So the Dr checked her and advised us wat not to eat and other things to do to reduce the fever.

Then it was our turned to was i ever shocked to find out that the total bill turned out to be $188!!
wtf... THAT is the most expesive medical check up tot or i eva HAD.!!!

But luckly my pay was in and i paid with out any questions and with a smile on my face.
as i looked at the bill closely.. $80 for consultation and bout $92 for the medicine then plus the taxes... total $188nett.

I was having regret i choose to go there.........

but after i gave her the medicine (in total like 6 different bottles types) she fell very sleepy and after a short nap... we woke up and the fever thank god has dropped.
she was not so weak and was able to eat.

So.. in the end... i didnt regret paying so much for her medical... coz in the end... it helped her fever dramaticly and money well spend overall.
