Tropicana Medical Center (TMC) is bad!

Dah 2 kali Aleesya admitted. Kali pertama masa bulan October tahun lepas di Damansara Specialist under Datuk Dr.Azizi. Aleesya baru 7 bln. Sebab banyak kahak dan kahak tu dah memasuki paru2. Asyik2 kena nebulizer. Macam kes Adrianna dulu juga. Takut kena asma. Tapi Alhamdulillah dah baik. Skrg ni kalau anak2 selsema, saya cepat2 bawa pergi klinik dan check paru2 mereka. Kalau clear OK la. Cuma takut kahak masuk ke paru2, bahaya. Tak semua kanak2 macam tu cuma for those yg sensitive je macam anak2 saya. Jadi langkah pencegahan tu sangat penting. Anak2 saya juga pantang madu lebah... boleh trigger to asthma (Dr.Azizi's advice - based on his own experience).

Kali kedua di Pantai Bangsar. Sebab demam kena viral infection. Demamnya tinggi sangat dan berulang2. Masa tu Aleesya taknak makan langsung-langsung. Minum susu pun sikitttt sangat. Susut badan. Alkisah yg kedua ni banyak dugaan. Malam sebelum Aleesya admitted, kami pergi ke Klinik An-Nisa' dekat rumah, dan katanya demam Aleesya agak membimbangkan kerana hasil ujian darah, platletnya rendah dikhuatiri ada virus atau denggi. Jadi kami mintak Dr.Shikin refer to nearest hospital which is Tropicana Medical Center. Esoknya, kami pergi ke TMC dan berjumpa dgn seorg Paedatrician (lelaki), dan katanya Aleesya ni demam biasa, tiada apa yg perlu dibimbangkan. Based on ujian darah dari klinik An-Nisa', Dr.Cina ni ckp platlet dia normal. Sambil check, sambil sibuk buat belon macam clown. Katanya lagi, Aleesya perlu diberi ubat antiviral for H1N1 ie. Tamilflu. Pelik juga coz Aleesya just demam panas tapi langsung tak batuk atau selsema. Semasa di kaunter farmasi, pharmacist tu tanya either doctor has done any blood test prior to proceed with Tamilflu... kami cakap "No".

Malam tu kat rumah, suhu badan Aleesya 39'C. Bagi ubat demam pun tak turun. Aleesya sangat2 pasif, hanya baring terlentang. Ada la sekali dua mengiring. Duduk pun tidak, apatah lagi nak senyum. Lemah gemalai. Muntah. Macam terenjat sikit. Kami decided nak bawa dia ke hospital semula tapi kali ni nak bawa ke Damansara Specialist. Masa tu pukul 3 pagi. Kami pergi ke Klinik Izham near Palm Spring Kota Damansara minta referral letter. Doktor di klinik tu pelik macammana Aleesya boleh diberi makan Tamilflu without any blood test or further checkup for H1N1. Nasib baikla dia baru makan sekali, pastu muntah. Selepas tu, kami ke Damansara Specialist.

Sampai di ER, kami berjumpa dgn seorang doktor India, katanya "Her condition very bad, she looks pale & weak, definitely have to admit but unfortunately our bed is full". Again, this doctor juga terkejut dia diberi Tamilflu. Menurut doktor ni, ramai org dah complaint pasal TMC. Dia cakap "I've heard lots of complaint from patients about TMC, I don't know why. They have big ward, new hospital... She needs to admit, maybe u can arrange to get other doctor at TMC since it's nearer to your house". Muka saya dan suami dah masam mencuka dah. "Oklah, don't go there if u are not happy". Katanya lagi "The nearest here is Kelana Jaya Med Ctr. Pantai Bangsar also good". So sepantas kilat kami ke Pantai Bangsar.

Sampai di Pantai Bangsar. Doktor2 kat situ pun terkejut dgn rawatan yg diterima oleh Aleesya di TMC. Aleesya admitted 4 days under Dr. Foo Wen Ling. Alhamdulillah selepas itu seleranya kembali untuk menembamkan diri.

Ada banyak pengalaman tak berapa cun kat Tropicana Medical Ctr. Pengalaman pertama, saya sakit kepala dan menjalani MRI scan. Alhamdulillah tada apa2. Lepas tu jumpa pakar urat saraf. Dia cakap saya migraine. Kena rehat cukup, diet betul, exercise dan... kena stop breastfeeding kat Aleesya. What?

Katanya lagi, baby saya dah cukup besar (masa tu Aleesya 10 bulan). 6 bulan pertama pun dah cukup bagi antibodi kat baby melalui susu ibu. "I know Malays encourage breastfeeding for 2 years but that is too much, the first 6 months is sufficient. So, I suggest u go home and discuss with your husband either you want to stop breastfeed your baby or not, then u may proceed with the medicine (for migraine)". Hmm... dia pandai2 assume yang saya ni stress sebab breastfeed anak.... Wth!

Second case, masa suami saya accident motor, actually hampir jatuh motor dan tulang tangan kirinya 'lari' sikit. Twisted arm. Suami saya admitted sebelah petang, after lunch. Sampai pukul 11 malam, no nurse, no doctor, no medicine, tak nampak batang hidung pun... and guess what? Suami saya tahan sakit naturally je... huhu... Sampai dah tak tahan, finally call nurse mintak apa2 ubat yg boleh kurangkan kesakitan. Ish!

Then, the third one, Aleesya's case tu la.

What can we say about Tropicana Medical Center? We definitely wont' go there anymore!!! 3 times are more than enough.
