Bored with the old men behaving like kids, attending doctor’s appointment now is a way escaped from office buzzing. On the appointment yesterday I just throw Dr Chan a question why insurance never accepted a policy by someone who being declared as hypothyroid since born. He just said that is their policy and he did explain to me how the insurance company running their business to survive. Then he suggested me to contact Great Eastern as the company have a separate policy between health insurance and education investment so that the second policy only suit to Shahnaz as she was being registered as a patient who have a serious illness since birth.
Shahnaz seems signified positive. Now she can walk, a lil bit speak-up, “clean-up” the house and scream for milk. From the moment we captured her hypothyroid until now, there are a lot improvement especially her face and reaction. Alhamdulillah... Result blood test taken on 16 Mac , reading for Shahnaz's thyroid and pituary hormone is within a normal range. Though the reading it reached to a normal range. She is still on thyroxine to stabilise her thyroid hormone.
In this case I must convey my gratitude to Dr Fuziah who helps us a lot. She is more like a mother and her explanation healed me even the Shahnaz situation is not really well at that time. I always hope to see her during the appointment . Some doctors may good but their explanation towards the illness mostly they describe generally with the technical words which definitely we don't understand, but this Dr. Fuziah , is different. She explained specifically , give some samples , leave let, telling us the past precedent case and her prediction towards the normal cases happened and the most important thing I can see her motherly part and empathy.Her explanation may calm our worried for quite sometimes. I am also lucky by having a good wife who never gives up in feeding her thyroxin every early morning, attending the occupational and every physiotherapy class without failed.Shahnaz’s health now is improving positively.

Encik Saifuddin, Thank you very much for the kind words of praise that you have for me/us. It's our duty and "kewajipan" as doctors to help our patients get well to the best of our ability and with our prayers, the rest is up to Allah yang Maha Esa. The fact that I took photos of your daughter (besides her being so cute !) are for the purpose of education of doctors in my lectures at conferences and meetings. Since screening for hypothyroidism is not 100% yet in Malaysia, doctors need to know that there are still cases that are detected after 2 weeks of life. Let's hope for the best for your daughter ! We will see you again. Wassalam. Dr. Fuziah
