Back from KKH A&E

Since it is already the 5th day, on advice from our GP, we decide to visit the A&E at KKH because Esther's fever soared to 39.5 earlier in the evening. After our dinner, we drove to KKH and I was quite surprised that it did not take very long before we were attended to. However, there is a policy which most if not all hospitals A&E department adapt is that those who are in more serious condition will be attended to first. Esther's fever had eased to mid 37 so we waited for about half an hour. The GP in attendance was very professional in her way of questioning and being thorough. Ditto the nursing staff. As I have never been to and do not intend to visit other hospitals' A&E, based on what many have told me, KKH is about the only place for children. Distance wise, NUH would been much nearer but on recommendation by my brother, he advised me to go to KKH instead. My nephew was admitted to NUH A&E sometime back as he had a fit attack coupled with his fever hitting 41deg. The ambulance sent him to NUH as it is the nearest. So now we are praying hard that Esther will recover in time for our church camp next week. In fact, we are quite half-hearted as to whether we should go.
