My room mate at the hospital.....S...I

One of my hospital room mate suffered worst than me .His name S...I . Malay chap , nice guy .Was a CID in Sarawak for 10 years .Age about mid 30's . Than he transferd to Johore . That's when his problems started .

Amputated left leg

Not sure how it happen or what health factors but he told me his left leg was amputated about 2 weeks ago ! . Now , there were some complications and his right leg is affected . The blood circulation wasn't going well on the right leg and there was some kind of blockage .

Change nerve position

It seems , doc then recommend that immediately he should change the position of the nerve at the top of his right let to the bottom of the leg . ( Later on , 2nd opinion said he should have gone for an ultra sound to look for the blockage first ) .
His operation took 4 hours and then he was then wheeled to my room .and that's how I knew him .

Imagine 2 ops in a month !!



Last year

He had an op last year , also intestinal op ,the only diff was part of his intestine had to be cut out and that op took about 4 hours and he had to stay in hospital for a week .

His future

I
asked him , what's next for for him ,and he replied , this infirmities will get him bed ridden for at least 6 months!! . And after that , either he will go back to a desk job as a police or he will just take life easy and just relax first coz he is still getting his pay from the police force .

bose: greetings!Yes,could well be that which had gone undetected for too long.
I used to visit Tapah and Teluk Intan hospital & you get to see so much suffering! Its just so frightening! But the hard facts of life is that sooner or later our body is going to give up on us either through sicknesses or irreversible wear & tear (old age).
I always encourage people to go to see Mr. John 4!
Take care!

hey kenny. thx 4 'dropping by'. That's a genuine hardcore sportsman life cycle -> an injury. Hapi recuperating and let the passion bursts after 2mth.

Had an emergency op to my sinus too, back in 4yr time. Like u, blur blur then suddenly dr tells they have to disect u ;-)

Yes Chong Wah,

What to do , the doc is always right , in fact the doc said if I had waited longer , intestine wldhaveburst .

I wonder , is tht a cliche coz sometimes we hear this kind of thing ?

if only we know wat's goin' on inside our body, we will surely do lots of preventing rather than curing isn't it? but that's reality, we're just human being, hence not perfect..

Doctors are not always rite. We, know how our body feels better than the doctors. We, have to always listen & be frank to our body but that doesnt mean that we can become the doctor ourselves la.

Health is wealth! TK.
