Dengue Fever

On 17th July 2009, Friday, 4:30 PM,
I felt very very cold during my shift work. Then i felt dizzy abit. I thought hunger strike so i went down to the canteen to eat something. Then i realises, i had fever. My head felt heavy and my eyeballs are tired too.

So i quickly told my boss i don't feel well and needed to go home as soon as possible. On the way home from my work place(Near Kg. Chuah, PD) i went to Klinik Loh nearby Lukut intersection. I thought i got H1N1, so i better see doctor. But to my surprise, the doctor said its NOT H1N1. What else could it be? I asked the doctor. Then he said maybe its dengue fever but need to confirm 3 days later. So i went off with pack of medicines. It contain Antibiotic, Fever, and Pain Killer tablets. Then I continue to drive home. At the half way, i felt so sick that i could not bear, i stopped by the road side and ate the medicine as prescribed. Then i continue to drive home.

As soon as i got home, i slept 3 hours. Then when i woke up, no more fever already. I thought i was OK but end up fever again at the middle of the night. So i pop another set of medicines.

18 July 2009,Saturday,
And indeed it recovered. The next morning i felt like normal but during evening i was having fever again. that day i need to work Night Shift.

My girlfriend insist me not to work on that night. So i ask for shift replacement but in the end no one's wanna replace me because its on Saturday. Obviously weekends nobody wants to work.

So i have to work that night. To cut my story short, i slept the whole night during my shift work. Luckily my Unit is not operating so i was able to rest that night. Fever keep coming and i keep popping pain killer and fever medicines. Until the next morning i went straight to do the Dengue blood test.




19th July 2009, Sunday,
My girlfriend and me went to KPJ hospital to do blood test. Indeed the result showed i had a dengue fever with Platelet of 154 (Normal range 150-390). I thought i was still within limit, so i went home and rest.
That Sunday night i suppose to work but i manage to skip as i told my boss i confirm having dengue and need to rest alot. So that night, my girlfriend's mom made me a papaya leaf juice. It is said to be effective to push the Platelet up. So i drank half glass :P i dunno how much i should drink but anyway i drank alot!!. It taste so so AWFUL! Damn it!.... PUIKZZ!!!

I had to close my nose and drink the juice and then straight gulp in one cupful of water. cheeze!!!
Then Vivi's mom cook "Tim Kai" (Frog) + "Fu Kua"(vege) for me to eat. sigh.....have to eat already.

20 July 2009 at Monday Morning.
I went to do blood test again at KPJ Hospital Seremban. Indeed the Platlet drop to about 119. Doctor immediately warded me. As usual, i was so afraid of the POKING thing(Fluid thingy) on my hand. Indeed it happen that day...oh GOSH!!! ...
The process was so so PAINFUL. My blood splash out cause of the inexperience MO (Medical Officer) poke the thing inaccurately. Damn him! My slipper got a patch of my blood! The MO some more ask me to wash the thing myself. bloody hell!!

So at about 1245PM i was in the ward room 347. My left hand felt abit cold because of the cold fluid. Still feeling uneasy that time. I cant believe the thing POKED into my blood stream. yike!!

My darling Vivi come and visit me at lunch time with the Tim Kai again. So i ate. My mom came back from Genting that day and straight visit me in hospital.
That time i got very high fever and keep on asking bout the medicine. It does not came until almost 3 pm. The nurses there stupid or what? Keep on measuring my temperature and did NOTHING! Then i ask my sister who came to visit me and bug the nurse to give me the medicine. Finally it came... i was so so mad. One word: "Inefficient"

Anyway, the doctor came 3 times a day. 930 AM, 330PM and 930PM. Blood sample have to take 3 times per day as well. cant you imagine how much blood i lost per day???

21 July 2009, Tuesday.
Int he middle of the night, i almost collapsed as i went to toilet to have a pee. My Eyesight almost go all white. Then i called the nurse to change the FLUID and measure my pressure. Indeed my pressure was very low. 75/58. As usual, the Platelet drop very much that morning to 112. I was transferred to ICU at 930 AM.

Then i told my darling Vivi about it. Then she came to visit me with one Powerful Medicine. Its call Porcupine Gall Bladder(Powder form). I eat it and drank water. It cost about RM 500!!!! ...shit!!! i had never eaten such a expensive thing before. My Vivi said 5 Jogoya gone just like that. hahah LOL

Then during the night, i drank too much of 100 PLUS till i felt bloated with gas. I vomited out almost all the Tim Kai my mom made for that dinner. Such a waste. Most importantly the Porcupine Gallbladder, i guess it didn't vomit out cause it's already past 12 hours of digestion. Fuh...i was so demotivated after i vomit that moment. sigh...

22 July 2009, Wednesday
Yike!...my Platelet shoot up to 89 the next morning :) COOL! then doctor said let the Platelet up till over 100 then only transfer to normal ward. Damn it. of course lar! Wanna earn money. Chiz!

@Ward

Anyway, to cut my story short again, on the last day of my Dengue Fever - 24 July 2009, one nurse took a blood sample from my arm. Then she go poke and and poke and cannot take the blood. DAMN her!!! why KPJ got such a nurse? Anyway at last she managed to take the blood. My arm already badly damaged.

This picture taken few days after the Inexperience Nurse took my blood sample from my arm on the last day of my Dengue Fever. You judge.





My final result on the Platelet Count was 119. Yes! :) The doctor told me to stay another day. NO THANKS! I said i wanna go home.

And Finally...my most favourite part!!
THE BILL.

Total up to RM 6,518 for 5 days and 4 nights. What i got? Normal ward then ICU, then Normal ward plus the damage done. Luckily my company has a ING Insurance for us.

Now who wants to be a doctor? Per ICU visits is RM 270. WTF?!!! 1 day 3 Visits = RM 810 in ICU. For you information they just come by to measure pressure and see the blood results and sweet chat with you. That's all.

OK, its been 2 days i been editing this post. So time for me to rest. I got alot more to say but i need to rest alright. :)

Give me feedback as a little reward larr ... "_ _
