Yaya papaya Gynae!

[fiza]

This private gynae I have been seeing at Mutual HealthCare for Women speaks to her patients in a certain manner when she is feeling tired.

Recently I went to see her for a follow-up. I asked her a list of questions that had been accumulating in my mind since I dont get to see her every month. She replied in a very tired manner & had this "Why are you asking this question? Are you done???" kind of look plastered on her face the whole time. When I asked certain questions, her reaction was less than positive. She said sarcastically to me "I thought you are an expert by now?" To which I wanted to reply the following but did not "If from mere reading of net articles, I can become an expert, let us exchange places & lemme earn big bucks."
Later on, she even remarked in an unpleasant manner "I think you are reading too much!"
What is wrong with patients asking questions? Especially when they are fully paying patients??? I pay for the amount of time I am in the room so I believe I deserve professional service. Unfortunately, I did not get it. And anyway, there was only 1 patient after me.

I would like to know if gynae should take a look at our BBT chart. I showed her mine & she was not the least interested in looking at it. In fact, she pushed her chair further away from me & turned away elsewhere.

Terrible gynae. So yaya papaya & totally unprofessional. Do a lot of gynae behave in this manner?

Hi, do you mind telling us where she's from. If a first time mum goes to her.. and she gives that kind of service.. then she's a nightmare.. It's not as though you're getting free advice.. You paid for her expertism..

She works at Punggol, near Prime Supermarket. Better avoid going to see her if possible.

I guess she was tired & therefore did not mind the fact that she was behaving in that certain manner. But from a patient's point of view, since we are paying a specialist fee for her professional service, we expect a certain standard. Can you imagine if we speak to our customers in that kind of manner too? Perhaps we will get complaint e-mails & a rebuttal from our boss...

Jal,

Are you a gakkai member?

Hi Jal, just read thru your post & totally agree that this sort of behaviour from your gynae is totally UNACCEPTABLE!! You should make a complain to the medical association & change gynae asap...

Anyway, just want to share with u that I'm also a mum to 2 kids and my 1st child is delivered by a male gynae and my 2nd one i switched to a female one. The male gynae is ok, very soft-spoken, gentle & kind. He will readily listens to your concerns & offers u advice. But he always seems to want patients to induce though bb doesnt want to come out yet. So for our 2nd child, we decided to switch to this female gynae @ TMC Dr Eunice K.M Chua @ TLC Gynaecology Practice.

We did not regret our decision as she is truly a dedicated and professional gynae. She is a polite lady as well & whenever i have any concerns raised to her, she will always be there to clear my doubts. All my visits with her has always been a pleasant one & not one time she has shown any black face or rude remarks to me. I have recommended her to my cousin & she is happy with her too throughout her pregnancy. Btw, i also heard that she is quite a popular gynae in TMC now and heard she can deliver up to 50 babies in a month! Can u imagine how experienced she can be?

Anyway, hope u can can to a decision soon & get your current gynae changed.
Let me know if u want Dr Eunice Chua's contact.

I'm seeing Dr. C K Khoo at KKH. He delivered my firstborn and we're going back to see him for my second child. I think I've never met anyone who loves his job more. He's always so happy and cheery when he sees his patients and when I tell him of my woes, he'll launch into a 'my wife had it too....' I think he's got at least 3 kids. I think he was just as excited as my husband when my son was being born! Also, when we went to see him the other day and told him we were pregnant again, he went 'Yay!' with both arms raised. How cool is that?

 

[jal]

Dear Clyva, thank you so much! Maybe I will get the doctor's contact from you after I manage to conceive successfully. Now I am still trying. Heh heh... (Bitter laughter).

Wow! You are pregnant again??? CONGRATULATIONS!!!ancing_wub:ancing_tongue:

By the way, you look quite thin from your avatar... Did you conceive naturally for both your pregnancies? And was it difficult for you to conceive??? I am quite thin too & I am wondering if this is hampering my chances. I guess my hubby's moderately poor sperm quality plays a part too...

Hi Jan, I tried sending you a private e-mail but not sure if you can get it.

Thanks

Heh, that pic was from the year before I got married. Was about 1.52cm tall and 47kg. Never lost much weight after I delivered my 1st child, so am now about 58kg. Am planning to try to get back to my original size after this baby.

But yes, both babies concieved naturally. 1st one was not planned. It was kinda like the result of just-got-married-so couldn't-get-enough-of-each-other.

Also, my hubby is a PE teacher. The must-go-for-a-run-every-2-days type. Join marathon every year type. You get the picture.

Ya I get the picture. My hubby exercises regularly too. He jogs once a week & has triceps & 6 packs below. But his sperm morphology is bad......... Sob sob... Feeling a bit despondent already...

Hi Jal, dun mention! Hope to hear good news from u soon & never give up!
Yeah!

Btw, congratulations to Dodo!

just for laugh..

long time ago when women give birth there's no epidural right? so the birth mother will scream in pain and agony.

Guess what the nurses say to one of them.

"when you are making love, I dont think you are making as much noise, so bear with it!!"

Its another horror nurse story in singapore but i dont know which one hospital.

I noe exactly wich hospital you r refering to. Its non other than KKH. My aunt used to deliver there. Usually the senior nurses r lyk dat. My aunt wus in so much pain. They took soooo long juz to gif the epi. She screamed as she cant stand the pain & d senior nurse said exactly what u stated. My aunt being a very firm & slightly hot-headed, screamed back at her "How do you now I scream or not when fu**ing??!!! U're there hah??!!" After dat, my aunt make a complain. & dats the reason I changed my gynae from KKH to TMC. In TMC the gynaes & nurses R very professional. Gud service..

Mine is a female gynae. cos i feel uncomfortable around a male gynae. But mine was good. had a very pleasant experience. Intend to go back to her for my second baby when i have 1. =) If you feel uncomfortable i guess you shld look for other gynae. enjoy your preg period and not let this things bother you. =)

Hi Jal, so you are a Soka Gakkai member also? Me too.
What is the name of the stupid gynae that you described above? From where?

 

[fishball7788]

I agree with you. Male doctors are more gentle. I had a male doctor. He's really great!!! My hubby like him so much that they became friends. He even gave us his personal hp number. And when i got to know i was pregnant for the second time, he was very happy for us. But when things didnt go our way, he advised us like a friend. When i had a miscarriage, hubby sms him and he came straight to the 24hr clinic just to see how i was doing. He even explained to hubby how the process goes after miscarriage. Till now, we both are so to know a doctor so concerned and caring to his patients.

Hi, nsync_su, what is the name of your Gynae? Which hospital is he from?

Hi Jal

I'm also seeing this gynae and I can understand how you feel cos I think she really belongs to those temperamental category. I've went to see her during my first pregancy cos she is quite near to my house.

During my first visit, I find her quite OK maybe becos I've yet to sign up the package wif her. However, subsequently I realized that she seems to be quite impatient and sometimes quite sacarstic as well. The subsequent duration of visits seems shorter as I don know is it becos due to the patients waiting for her outside.

My husband at times will accompany me to the rooms for scanning cos we are very excited to see how our bb is progressing inside...but we only managed to catch a glimpse and oso the 3D picture came out abit unclear. My husband then starts grumbling : "see I told u don pay so much money to them first ... when last time we can see and ask so many things, but not now". For goodness sake, how wld I know.

During my last follow up visit to her in March, she told me that my blood pressure is quite high and wanted me to get ready to admit to the hospital the next day. It was actually my 36th or 37th weeks,but I'm quite unwilling to admit myself cos I was thinking why do I need u to decide my bb date of birth.

I've got no other choice cos I oso don want to take the risk and I admitted the next day. Finally I got to see my dear bb...but he weighs only 2.420 kg which I was very sad cos I think if I can wait until full term, maybe he can get bigger and stronger...and at that time, I was quite pissed off wif her.

Anyway, is really a long story..but importantly my bb must be healthy and that is something that all mummies pray for.

Shld I intend to have a 2nd one, I don think I would go to her again.:nah:
