brought marcus to see an ENT specialist for his sinus problem. time to really solve his sinus problem. had been sweeping it under the carpet for years, yesterday, the problem surfaced again, i think we got to settle this once and for all. so in the morning, i googled for ENT specialist. somehow this clinic and this doctor just seem to bounce out from the screen. the location is important like it is not at paragon, Mount E or Gleneagles. parking is not a problem.
After registration, well, private clinic is really different. the service, the drinks and titbits are free for you to drink and the magazines are different. They were also nicely placed on the shelves. Well, i guess you pay for the service.
So after a scope through his nose, his sinus problem is due to allergy. so after doing the prick test for allergy, realised he is allergic to dust mite. Well, we went for the first line of treatment, that is to clear his nasal first and in the mean time, he has to refrain from being too close to the hamster and we have to make sure his environment is quite dust free, especially his bed, pillow and blanket.
come to think of it, marcus has a string of problems. his teeth, his nose and another thing that i need to do for him is his flat foot.
yesterday, during the diagnosis, it was actually quite an eye opener to see the scope, the inside of the nostril. It's interesting and knowledgeable. I think his price is reasonable, a specialist's consultation fee, $90, medication, $100 plus. it was the prick test and the scope that is expensive, but that can be claimed from Medisave. so total bill is $495. plus if marcus has heallthshield, which i think he has, should be able to claim too. just that claiming takes 2-3 months.
