Specialist #1

2 October 2023

After considering various doctors together with their working hours, I selected one at UMSC.  This doctor has Saturday clinic hours which I thought would be good to avoid missing work/school.  UMSC is also the hospital hubby had his surgery back in 2021 and has been returning for check-ups.  Hubby wasn't keen after checking her credentials.  Anyway decided to go for it.

Waiting

When we got in, doc asked what the problem was.  She then asked various questions about our lifestyle.  She requested me to leave the room and asked SE about her school, any problems she was facing.  SE replied that everything was fine.  I went into the room again and doc said for a first session, she wouldn't go further.  We finished in under an hour and doc said to see her again in a month.

Hmmm.  Nothing much achieved.  No urgency either if next visit was only in a month's time. 

I thought SE put it quite well:  This visit is the most useless.

  1. I wonder if there is a specialist for children anorexia cases in Klang valley that is very experienced. Sounds like this specialist isn't that experienced with children having anorexia.

    1. This was a world I had no experience with either. Sadly had to get myself more familiar.

  2. i thought anorexia only hits the teenagers or adults, didn't know that it is getting into children nowadays.

    1. Totally hit me by surprise. She'd never been as picky on food as JE was.
