Today feli, da jie and mummy went to the polyclinic.. Coz Da jie and feli wasn't feeling well.. and mummy needed her usual dose of high blood pressure medicine..

Although i wasn't feeling well either, but i wasn't as sick as them.. hence i didn't go with them.. instead.. i stayed at home and rest..

But when they came back from the polyclinic, i actually found out that inexperienced doctors are on a loose! GOSH!! so many incidents i can point out to reflect how inefficient they are as they have the inability to comprehend all the symptoms and signs together to diagnose a patient properly! This is the story:

Initially, they diagnose mummy having type 2 diabetics last year... (yes.. they may be right.. because she really did eat alot of meji chocolate and candies in that 4 months.. but that doesn't mean she really has type 2 diabetics.. she actually wasn't fasting when she took that glucose blood test.. =_= )

Then they prescribe her with Metformin HCl and Glipizide to so called control her blood sugar level..

And last year, she had bacteria pneumonia and was hospitalized for 1 week plus.. And by then her weight from 65 kg, it dropped drastically to 55..

After that, she actually started to have slight eating disorder as she didn't have appetite.. and her weight continues to plunge down to 55 in just 1 month after she left hospital.. yet during all these while, she was still consuming the medications given by the doctor.. even though she wasn't eating much..

At last.. she fainted during Chinese new year eve this year.. and she was sent to the hospital via the ambulance.. Because she had hypoglycemia and neuroglycopenia (coma due to critical low level of glucose in body).. the paramedic actually did not know her condition until they gave her a glucose IV drip to her... because immediately, she regain consciousness in seconds the IV was injected into her... It really did not came across my mind that the time that her condition was due to the medications that was prescribed...

And now.. at weight 48kg.. she's almost skin and bones.. and yet now the doctor is still prescribing the medications to her..

Haven't they heard what's Gluconeogenesis!!! She's not eating much already and yet you're giving her anti-diabetic drugs to lower her glucose level!! Of course she's getting really skinny as such!! because if the body cannot obtain glucose from carbohydrate source through diet, they will actually aim at non-carbohydrate source which is fats+ protein FROM THE BODY ITSELF which is Gluconeogenesis you idiots!!! Still say that its a good thing shes getting skinny... blah blah! You're uttering rubbish! Can't you see that she lost all the elasticity and moisture in her skin and how weak is she!!?

Its a hell of a good thing I'm in biomedical sciences! if not what am i supposed to do when it comes to this!! Right now what I can do is to confiscate her Metformin HCl and Glipizide medications, force her to eat more... and see what happens... Grr.. incompetent doctors...
