The power of being the Mayor of Sime Darby Medical Center has finally entered my head! In a blatant attempt at self-promotion, I have opened a FourSquare check-in at my clinic.
Yes, anyone can check-in, but there can only be one mayor there ......

It had been slow going since the Chinese New Year break but I am expecting a deluge once the city dwellers are back from their holidays. After finishing my round and clinic, it was still only 11.30 in the morning.
I might as well just pack my bags and head home. Will be going to KLCC for lunch and haircut later. Then followed by the big FA Cup showdown at Anfield later on tonight! Happy Saturday!
Chinese New Year 2012, Clinic, work in Diary Friday, June 17, 2011 at 2:11PM 
I was actually bracing myself for a heavy clinic this morning. With the school holidays just passed - patients were known to skip or cancel appointment during that time to go on holidays - and I was away last week, I was expecting plenty of patients. I had only about 8 requests today and after seeing a few more from the common pool, I was done just after midday.
The fact that the tsunami of patients did not materialise did help, but it was more to do with the number of doctors available. We had all the lecturers in, including Habibah who is back from her maternity leave. We had a Final Year MO, plus 4 others to help out. In the end, we had about eleven Doctors running the clinic which was a rarity. So, I ended up taking extra time for lunch before going for Friday prayers - I usually had to rush through, and even on a few occasions, had to come back after prayers to finish the clinic.
It was left to do some paperwork and letters before I was off for the weekend. I gather that I had some errand to run for the school concert tomorrow. I would have plenty of time for that after work …..

You guys probably have guessed how much I dread the Friday morning clinic with tons of patients to see, and then the rush in the afternoon to prepare the ward for the weekend. It will be my turn as well doing the weekend round tomorrow, so a bit of catching up needed with the patients in the ward.
For the weekend, I seriously need to take the 7D for a spin! It was due. Maybe a quick trip to the butterfly or orchid garden tomorrow, weather permitting of course. Failing that, maybe an evening stroll at KLCC park.
Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 9:27AM Yes! Idlan developed a temperature and everybody at home turned into instant diagnostician! He has H1N1!
I said no, but unfortunately I was the only one who thought so at the house. Not the seven others, and that's not including the servants! He developed the temperature in the middle of the night and my mother-in-law insisted on me driving him to the Casualty. I just pretended I did not hear her, and finally when I decided to speak, I said if we rush him to Casualty we may give him H1N1. She was not impressed obviously.
Before seeing the doctorDespite the temperature, he was jumping up and down wrestling with his brother and playing on his Wii. After some paracetamol, he got better. The next morning he was fine but come the afternoon, the temperature returned. Alright then. Asked my colleague to cover me for the afternoon and took him to Pantai to see their Dr Azam. They are really fond of this former colleague of mine, and does not mind being prodded and poked, as long as it was by Dr Azam.
There was high temperature, but no sign of serious infection. We put him on antibiotics, and before long he was back to his old trick. Back home, my wife was on the internet all night, reading all sorts of ridiculous stories about H1N1. How it is signaling the end of the world etc etc.
My mother-in-law said should he develop another bout of temperature, we should go for second opinion, preferably to a GP that she swears by in Kampong Baru. Allegedly, he once saved her life by a timely intervention of giving her Paracetamol just at the right time .... Huzzah! I am a decent doctor, but I have not yet acquired the skill to cure multiple ailment with paracetamol. Maybe an extra few years in Hogwarts should sort that one out.
Soon after that, the waiting area got thrashed .... hehehe .... Run!Even Idlan's teacher called asking why he missed his kindergarten class. We explained to her that he has fever. We were asked to bring a doctor's letter, which I thought was plainly insulting. Well! The world has gone gaga with this pandemic and we are yet to face the second wave.
Finally, after everything settled down, I managed to settle one final crave before tomorrow's Ramadhan. Yes! I need some KFC, and I want it now! Sorted that one out in double quick time. Have to return to Pantai later today though, as I needed to pick up the doctor's letter. Or maybe I should just forge it! The teacher said a letter from a doctor, not which particular doctor .......
