Staff was efficient and I got out within 1 hour. &nbsp;Have to wait one week to follow up with doc for results. Sometime in the afternoon, I received many calls from a number I was unfamiliar. &nbsp;Late yesterday, I returned the call, and it was from the critical results doc. She asked me to repeat my blood test at any A&amp;E as my potassium level was critically high at 6.5.<\/p>\n<p>So, I went to TTSH, my favourite hotel. &nbsp;Even though I did not make an appointment with TTSH, the hospital already knew of my coming. I just showed them the hospital SMS, to make sure it is me.<\/p>\n<p>Dracula took some blood and I was put on an ECG. To wait for the results, the nurse put me on a trolley and wheeled me to a waiting room. &nbsp;An hour late, the doc explained that my potassium was still high and need to repeat. Test repeated and an hour later, it was confirmed potassium at 6.5.<\/p>\n<p>The doc welcome me to stay at TTSH hotel for the night for further review. &nbsp;Two giant tubes of medication injected into my blood stream. Gosh, it was painful, size of a large colgate toothpaste.<\/p>\n<p>And the staff wheeled me to my room. Two hours later, I was sweaty and faintish. I pressed the button and my blood test now showed sugar level at 2.5. The hospital gave me some biscuits and my black coffee opium. Plus a cup of glucose water to bring up the sugar level which went back to normal at 6.5.<\/p>\n<p>Had a good sleep, and now I have bread and coffee for breakfast. &nbsp;Morning doc saw me and just told me I can stay one or two nights more at a discount. Good value, I couldn&#8217;t say no.<\/p>\n<p>I shall update u on this post. My WhatsApp is 9489-4360. &nbsp;No need to visit me, as technology is just as good. &nbsp;I welcome you to communicate with me on this post.<\/p>\n<p>Have a nice Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Terence Seah<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you have called me, i shall share a fun story with you.
