Dr Tinnesh I presume?
We were expecting Dr Tinnesh the door says Tinnesh so I assume he is Tinnesh (little did I know later it was not Tinnesh :) ) Anyways we see this guy and go over my symptoms. Not really much to describe as we brought our scans and we know it's a brain tumor. Now in hindsight they had never seen my scan but he was already talking about surgery. And booked me for the 5th of feb. I can't recall whether they took my scans and made an assessment when we came in. Maybe. Well that's it, it's going to be a brain operation. 5Th of Feb ... heh heh ... no worries, still a long ways away.
For the procrastinator this is like a long time with time to spare.
I felt like a factory item, walk in, short story, and out the door with some pills. Good pills. Steroids, memory enhancer and antacid. Man the steroids are good for physical reasons. Imagine eating pretty much non stop :) all day. Then the memory enhancer piracetam is supposed to enhance cognition and memory and more. See wikipedia on it. I think I'll try to wangle this thing even after surgery. The steroids would be too much to ask for after surgery :( .
The orderly suggests we get a second opinion. After all it is a major operation. He recommends a few (2 actually) but Dato' Dr Fadzli was the name that stuck. After all a Dato' must have achieved something, hopefully in his field not due to politics. Don't want a politician operating on me they might change my mind.
So we go to KPJ Ipoh to make an appointment with Dato' Dr Hj Fadzli Cheah. The customer service dude Ariffin was a very eager beaver. He was going on saying that the doctor was around just wait he should come around. I was reluctant as I had not prepared any questions. So eventually we settled for a next day appointment. Man another long drive. But we get a second opinion from a $50K doctor.
