Kuching Hospital - Wad Mata

 (My brother being given treatment to his eyes, surrounded by trainee nurses)

I visited my younger brother at the Kuching Hospital this morning.  He was hospitalised for conjunctivitis.  From the hotel to the hospital, I took a taxi, where upon reaching the hospital, the taxi driver charged me RM12 whereas the meter showed RM6.50.  When I enquired, he said, that was the normal flat rate to the hospital.  I thought this category of 'daylight robbery' only happen in big cities.....

Anyway, I followed my brother to the specialist clinic at the ward, and he sat outside the door while waiting for his turn.  There were also other patients queing.  When the doctor finally attended to my brother, I enquired from the nurse whether I could speak to the doctor to hear about my brother's ailments.  The doctor obliged.  He explained to me about  my brother's illness and that my brother had to be hospitalised until his condition improves completely. 

I can only pray to Allah for my brother's recovery. Ameen.
