strolling around at FEU
August 7, 2010 (Saturday)
Lesson #1
Each and every patient is unique. They might have the same symptoms, but they have different causes. The doctors should treat each patient differently, ask questions, and listen. In our case, I told this doctor that my daughter has cough for almost a month now and the doctors including my daughter's pedia heard that her lungs are clear whenever they listen through it. It turned out that my daughter had viral fever which was caused by pneumonitis. If only this gay doctor from the ER last saturday LISTENED. He could have admitted us that day and no need to send us away.
Lesson #2
Mothers knows best. It is part of our innate instinct to feel that there's something wrong happening to our loved ones. Indeed, gabby just had a plain HIGH FEVER but who are they to tell us not to have our daughters admitted when we felt there's something wrong. When we believe in something, we have to stand up for it and fight. yes, FIGHT. I have to sound arrogant in front of this doctor who would treat my daughter because she wouldn't admit my daughter, not without having these tests done which will take us 4 hours! These tests turned out Negative for Dengue and UTI so that means, they might have to send us home again..
Bottom line is, If you decided you wanted to have your daughter admitted because you believed in something, let you conviction set you all where you should be.
Lesson #3
Keep your home Dengue free. Clean your backyard and get rid of those stagnant waters. Better clean out than worry your heart outs later.
Lesson #4
The Nurses in Pedia ward (5th floor) are very friendly. Most especially the doctors. There are a lot of resident doctors who took care of gab during our stay. Too bad we transferred from ward to Private so that means we have to go down to 3rd floor from 5th floor. We met a very nice doctor Dra. Francisco who was drawn close to gabby more than any other resident doctors.
Lesson #5
To some people, money is everything. You can get all the comfort in life when you have the money. But to some, they might feel that they have everything but still they are incomplete. In a child's eyes, money wont buy their happiness. The CONCERN, the LOVE is inevitable and can only be felt when there's sincerity that comes with it. Gabby's grandma, though very far away we felt her presence not by sending us the money we needed during our stay. We felt her REAL concern and her worries because she keeps on calling gabby to check on her. See, its not the money, nor the toys that matters the most in a child's eyes. LOVE that comes along with this material things, that shouts the Loudest during this trial times in our lives.

IV bag # 7 last one.
gabby with her friendly resident doctor from the 5th floor.
Sometimes its true. But this time, its not. :D
ReplyDeleteLast february, my dad has the same experience, Mics. after two hours of waiting, while my dad has blood all over his shirt coz of an accident, they just put him in a wheelchair while this patient who looks so richy-richy had his bed right away in ER when in fact he is just complaining of dizziness. dizziness compared to my dad who has a cut on his head already? Two hours after I decided to transfer him to St. Lukes. And what 2 hours took in FEU is just less than 30 minutes in St. Luke's. They even asked me what did they do in 2 hours? They should have put some dressing in the open wound and not just clean it? and btw, they never have a public or charity ward in FEU, their usual line all of our public rooms are occupied but we have n remaining semi-private rooms available.
ReplyDeleteThere you go! :) Hope that Gabby's all right by now :)
u now i had a bad experience at FEU as well.my uncle died there. they wouldn't operate if you don't have enough money to pay for the whole bit. The ER people advised my aunt that if we don't have money then an operation wouldn't be possible... sad but true... i feel for you girl.i hope gab's doin' okay now...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the concern guys. Well we all have our experiences, both good and bad at this Hospital. No matter how often we express our thoughts about them, they wont learn and worse they wont improve. I do hope and pray that they change their attitude too just as what our government are doing now.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments! I appreciate everyone whose following my blog. Keep reading!
