Dengue and NY resolution

Baby X became one of the stats: she contracted dengue. Demam panas dah berhari2, MG took her to the GP clinic on 2nd day demam. The doctor bagi ubat batuk, selsema, antibiotik and demam - haiya! itu mak dia pun boleh presecribe. Apparently doctor cakap, demam biasa je...hmm..what? Temp 39degrees, dia takde selsema or batuk tetapi demam and cakap demam selsema biasa...hmmm...furthermore, just the week before dia ngan little dua2 kena selsema and batuk but no demam? Then on Saturday, dia dah lembik, baring je..so i took her to the paediatrician, ambik darah and what do you know? white blood cells naik and platelets turun. So cam konpem je kan especially dah 3, 4 org neighbours kena denggi dah. Went to repeat blood test kat local hosp 2 days in a row, sib baik dah naik balik platlets dia. I pulak yg cam zombie sekarang because sepanjang malam dia asyik nak menenen je sampai cam nak tercabut lak apparatus menenen tu i rasa.

Yg kelakar dan seperti biasa i ni yg pickup passola rasa cam hak asasi manusia i tercabul pulak..when my bro got to know baby X kena denggi, he gave me instructions via telephone: bagi minum air banyak, every 6 hours bagi panadol, denggi ni takde ubat..etc. Ek eleh!! Bukan ke kita ni yg berdegree bau2 medical and dia tu bussiness degree dulu (tak kira, nak i tambah, je dulu). Ni sama cam kes mak i dok umah i lepas dia keluar hosp lepas heart attack dulu. Jenuh le dia drill i apa nak buat in the event of another attack..mana nombor ambulance, hosp mana nak pergi...firstly, hosp dari rumah i sepelaung je, pas tu of course la i tau apa nak buat, sebab tu diaorg dok rumah i! Sib baik dia tak suruh i buat practical CPR depan dia..ceh!

Then just now pulak, masa i bawak baby X pi hosp dekat rumah utk check darah, yg tukang ambiknya this MA (apa org dedolu panggil dresser? Kalau Opah i panggil dressa). budak muda je, cam trainee i..kalau i tak teringat yg i ni bukan cikgu dia, i would have reprimanded him for calling me kak. In my opinion, you should address orang yg you tak kenal Puan or encik, jangan main kak or abang or mak/pakcik. Kasi hormat la sikit. I yg dah level senior pun (ni nak eksen sikit) i always address my clients' parents as Puan or encik..kalau yg dah berceraiberai ngan laki dia and bagi gempak kat sokhabar pun i masih panggil Tohpuan (ni kasi gossip sikit). My BFF thinks because dressing i cam nyonya balik kebun sayur kut..well, idakle i berdressing bagaikan nak pi dating tapi idakle i pakai tudung itik pulang petang. Anyway, baby X dah lembik, so tak yah la nak sampai 2,3 orang pegang dia. In fact i told that adik (well, adik la kan, since dia nak beramas mesra panggil i kak..kalau panggil makcik tadi, dah penampau sebijik i kasi). You know what, adik tu suh i tunggu kat luar! And me being the dungu, pi ikut lak cakap dia! Hish! i bukan nak menyusahkan hidup 'adik' tadi, in fact i'm sure he can draw blood much better than me now yg dah lama tak buat kerja2 camtu sejak dah menggunakan khidmat khadam2. I just want to keep baby X's stress level low..terjerit2 dia panggil i and crying..tak tau la kut2 si 'adik' tadi suka dikelilingi oleh trainee2 misi didalam bilik kecik tadi?? And where was my backbone as a mother and specialist dalam bidang kanak2 ni? I should have put my foot down and insisted of being there kan? Hish!! I hate myself!

It's generation gap la kan?? I find bebudak muda punya kesopanan kesusilaan sekarang sungguh menjengkelkan....ni pasal depa ni bebudak KBSM/KBSR ke? Semua main pakai redah je? Or it's system in school nowadays? I was a convent girl for yonks and pas tu pi sekolah bebudak pompuan atas bukit yg surat masuk pun kenkadang kena screen. Masa kat convent dulu, kalau boleh nak kentut pun kitaorg kena mintak permission, ok? The sight of our headmistress was enough to send shivers down our spine, belum lagi dia bukak mulut. Kecik2 dah diajar cakap, excuse me, sorry or i beg your pardon..bukan cam bebudak sekarang yg kalau dia tak dengar apa kita cakap, dia boleh haah? kan kita! i bukan orang yg cepat melatah..sepanjang i jadi educator ni, pernah sekali je i kept a trainee aside and gave her a sound scolding..memang sound sungguh because i frabkly said, awak ni biadab! You know what she did? When i was speaking to her, dia boleh continue kemas workbench dia, tak pandang kita pun. And dah banyak kali dia buat sampai that time yg i dah tak boleh tahan dah.

Anyway, when my mum was in hospital, there was this HO yg datang pagi pi check bed ticket patients termasuklah mak i (i know because seminggu mak i kat hosp i ambik shift pagi). No greeting the patients and to make matters worse, dia kunyah cinggam uols!!! Eiiiii! Satu hari tu i dah dekat2 nak tell him off and bawak dustbin kat dia suh dia buang cinggam tu. His saving grace was he got my mum the appointment with IJN..sib baik! Lagi sipi2 je dia dah nak kena.

Am i being unreasonable ke? Well Esah might say i am (eleh..dia tu asik tell off ong kat katebang je kan, Esah? memang kan, perangai memudamudi sekarang cam shial!). i baru ingat after incident pagi tadi kat hospital that i will be more outspoken this 2010. Dah takde maaf bagimu dah kat orang2 yg piss me off sebegitu.
