Cousin In Gleneagles

Visited one of my cousins who had flewn in from Miri to "clean up" one of his intestine that was badly infected. His operation took 5 hours. And this is just few weeks after his first operation in Miri , re-opening the same spot ! He was complaining of extreme pain after his anthestsia wears off, like none was given !

He also mentioned The lousy doctor in Miri dare not complete his job for fear that it was cancer related when spotted big lumps in the intestine. That causes fear & panic to all my relatives in Miri/Kuching/NZ as we alread have lost my mum over cancer, my uncle in Miri is also suffering from last stage of cancer....and now this cousin was told to be suspected of having cancer !
AFter his operation in Miri, the doctor advised him not to get off the bed until 5th day. By then He already felt so weak that he cannot walk ! But in Gleneagles, he was asked if he want to sit up just on the next day of his op....and started slow walk on his 3rd day of recovery.

My Cousin's stomach was bloated to size of 4 month pregancy stage where he had lost 9kg becos of this sickness. The sudden weight lost did appear to look like cancer patient But thank goodness the doctor in Singapore confirm he is not. The main cause of this illness is lack of fibre and usually happen to Caucasians.

Relatives were full of praises for our service level in hospital, doctor's knowledge and expertise and efficiencies. I'm feeling lucky living here in comparison.

Life is so fragile. You never know when you fall ill. Can be any age, any time.....
