We want to share a story of our mother ( 61 years old ) while trying to get a better treatment for her disease.....
She was dianognis with Kidney problem due to complication of diabetic & high blood pressure.. and 2 doctors suggested for dialysis ( one doctor from Kuching, Malaysia & 1 from Adventis hospital, Penang )..our mother was not agreed on this treatment as she was so afraid... considering her objection, we are trying to seek on other doctor's opinion. A friend introduced us to dr. Wong Kai Cheng from Pantai Mutiara hospital, Penang... we brought the lab test result showing the creatinine was around 420 by that time & explained to the doctor our mother's condition which body all swelling full with water ( tummy & legs )... dr. Wong was so sure that time that based on the lab result - our mother didn't need dialysis... he suggested us to bring our mother to the hospital for further checking. We were so happy to note the infmn & move our mother to Pantai Mutiara hospital.. dr. Wong started the treatment - the creatinine was still peaking up last time up to 500...then after week of treatment with medicine..the creatinine started to drop up to 370 than the dr. Wong told us that the creatinine will continue to drop as long as my mother consume the medicine and control the diet.. he allowed us to leave hospital & comeback to our hometown in Indonesia and comeback for control in next 20 days. We were so happy by that time.. before leaving the hospital our mother were having problem with bowel movement, then dr. Wong gave 3 pcs of ducolac to be taken at a time.. but ever since she took the medicine.. our mother was like having diarrhea...it's not until 10 days of her returned to home when she started to get all swelling.. we decided to take her back to see dr. Wong right away. When arrived to hospital, the creatinine already showed 600.. and dr. said that our mother was also having problem with leukosit & trombosit which were getting very low. Our mother condition was getting weak & weaker each day.. we were so worried & keep asking the dr. on the dialysis option to save our mother life. But dr. Wong said that he can't give medicine for the kidney nor a dialysis was necessary on this stage as they want to add up the leukosit & trombosit level first. Dr. Wong was so very sure that my mother condition was still ok without dialysis and he kept assured us that he will take good care of our mother.. everyday was about blood test, injections ( which cost lots of money ) until our mother getting weaker and creatinine went up to 700...and hardly can intake foods..nor pass urine.. by then dr. Wong had our mother to hav dialysis.. after dialysis she seem to gain a bit conscious than before, but her condition were already down too much.. about 4 times of dialysis ( exactly 1 week from her 1st dialysis ), our mother got stroke and became coma.. we questioned this to dr. Wong.. and all he can say was I am sorry & I don't know why... then he asked us to move our mother to other hospital as in his hospital there was no neurologist and he also suggested us to bring our mother back home to our country as he said the treatment will take long time.. we were full of disspointment by that time. We trusted the doctor as he keep ensure us that our mother will be ok .. but when our mother's condition getting worse.. he seems like just want to get rid of her.. we were so frustated and have no choice but to move our mother to Lam Wah Ee hospital as appointed by dr. Wong. It's only 4 days from her coma when our mother took her last breath and leave us forever....
