Kelana Jaya Medical Centre

The end of the year has been and the beginning of 1430H and 2009 has not been so good for my nephew. His name is Hussein and is my husband's eldest nephew. His parents live in Bukit Mertajam.

Hussein is waiting for his SPM results and decided to spend the time waiting working for his uncle (my bro-in-law) who runs a pest control company here. When we were away on our road trip, Hussein fell sick with fever and had gone back to BM. When he was feeling better he decided he wanted to go on working so he came back to KL. A few days before New Year he started getting feverish again but with diarrhoea and was vomiting.

We had taken him to the clinic and the medication did not help. Initially we were worried he was allergic to the chemicals or had mishandled it. On Jan 1 his situation was not getting better so we said let's take him to the hospital.

My sis-in-law who lives here took him first and I was to meet them there later. I thought she was taking him to the ever favourite Subang Jaya Medical Centre which is now Sime Darby Medical Centre but instead she took him to Kelana Jaya Medical Centre as it is only minutes from Ara Damansara.

By the end of the day we found out he has denggi. His blood count was 166 and today it is 139. His mom came down that day itself and she was fuming mad this morning with the hospital nurses and their service.

From the time she arrived at KJMC at 8pm they only came to check Hussein's temperature once at 12 midnight. She came on calling on the nurses to give Hussein some medication for the fever but they said doctor only can give them that instruction. His body was burning up and he was also feeling faint.

This morning at 10am the doctor came for a visit and my sis-in-law complained. The doctor checked his chart and said the nurses came 3 times at 8pm, midnight and 6am this morning. My sis-in-law said nonsense they only came at midnight and did not give anything. So....

Lucky the doctor apologised and said he will check into it. The nurse next to him look kinda pale when we questioned how can the nurses on duty lie and just jot down a temperature reading when they didn't even check. This is a person's life you are dealing with for god's sake. I don't know if the doctor has come back with an explanation yet but will find out soon when I go there later.

You can bet I ain't going there!
