Spoilt

When I woke up this morning I saw Hakeem’s right eye was watery n red. It’s a bit swollen. He looked so uncomfortable n kept rubbing his eyes. I then brought him to see the doctor. This is our second time being to this clinic. It is a pediatrician clinic.

After a short consultation from the doctor with the assurance that it’s not contagious n dangerous, I waited outside for the medicine. The medicines given were a bottle of antibiotic n eye drop which cost me of RM96. To me it’s so expensive.

I don’t know, maybe I am just out of dated with the current price of the medicines. The first time we came here (a month ago), Hakeem n Nabila were having flu n cough. They got each of them a bottle of cough, flu n fever medicine n that cost me RM160.

The clinic is not so canggih with the hi-tech facilities. If I were to go to SJMC, SMC or any 5 star private hospital it’s understood why they charged me so high. But by looking at this clinic, it’s just like an ordinary clinic with a dull color of interior, not so clean except the doctor was a bit advance having input all the information using the touch screen monitor in front of him.

I actually had said to myself earlier that I will look for another clinic for my children but because this morning I was rushing for another appointment n having thought that I better bring Hakeem to a children specialist n so that’s why I went back here. I was in the room not even more than 8 minutes.

Maybe it’s the price nowadays, I don’t know. I never have to dig out money from my pocket for any of my children’s medication as all this while was paid for by my hubby’s company. And ‘touch wood’ alhamdullilah all my children so far seldom have to go to the clinic.

Until today and our last visit then I realized how much expensive is the cost for all the medical expenses. Me n maybe some others out there are just spoilt with all the free medical benefits given by the company.
