Why Specialists Are Rich

Last weekend, we went for Iris follow-up with Dr Azam. I also intended to collect the medical report from Dr Vann's clinic on Iris' previous admission in July 2008 (wow, that was long time ago!). The reason why the medical report was not collected was because my insurance agent been asking me to negotiate on the fee charged by Dr Vann which was exorbitant. It's freaking RM250 as compared to the fee charged by Dr Azam which was usually RM50 only. And being the usual me, after the first couple of calls made to Izyani (Dr Vann's nurse) had been futile, I was lost in the hecticness of day to day job & completely forgot about it.
Since Iris was admitted again last week, and now it's time for another medical report (luckily this time it was Dr Azam's), I had to settle the previous claim. My agent thought if I collected the report myself, I would be able to get it at a much cheaper rate. Unfortunately, the staff there told me that RM250 is a standard rate for Dr Vann's medical report. Well, there goes my RM250 for just some scribbles on a couple of pages.
Anyway, the check-up was brief. Dr Azam could see that Iris has fully recovered but he insisted that I still puff Iris with Seretide twice daily since her lungs are quite weak & susceptible to infection until his next review in another 3 months time. And now I'm more determined than ever to ensure Iris takes her daily dosages of multivitamin (Dr Azam was recommending Kiddie Pharmaton) to boost up her immunity.
After the check-up, we went to Midvalley for lunch. I wanted Hubby to try Nasi Bojari (although I've never tried it before) which seemed delicious during my last visit to Madam Kwan's. I'm glad that Hubby loved it (usually he's pretty particular about the taste).
During our lunch, Iris decided to poo-poo so I had to bring her to the toilet. Midvalley's toilet is so un-friendly to parents with kids. I had to carry Iris up the next level because the toilet on Level 1 does not even have water pipe. And the cubicle was extremely tiny, I was afraid Iris might slipped down the toilet bowl. Phew! That was really a challenge.
After lunch, we went for some grocery shopping at Carrefour. Poor Iris, she fell asleep on the trolley & all the way back home. That nite I felt extremely tired & aching all over my body, or to be exact, I felt like an old granny after a long walk. *Sigh*
