if you suspect you have appendicitis better consult a doctor.
-
That sucks
Yeah you can't be too careful about such things
Hopefully the father can find peace and move on ><
I miss my doctor in Woodlands
He is so detailed and caring
Still yet to find a doc I like in Simei ><
Too lazy to go to the doc I frequent in the past at Marine Parade
I can still remember my patient card number

so please, don't be afraid to consult a doctor for every twinge, dings, throb or ache eh ....

Anyways, I was hospitalised once for Appendicitis. That occured years before I entered Nursing. It sure wasn't very comforting when the next morning, during the ward rounds, the Surgeon rebuked the Med Officer in front of me, saying, "You should have sent her in for surgery last night! Why did you wait till today? Something could have happened!" and I was . 
I had an ex-colleague who survived a rupture of his appendix. He was, however, warded in the ICU for about a week or so because with the rupture, dirty intestinal contents get emptied into the abdominal cavity, infecting all the organs around it and the microorganisms get carried by the blood around the whole body, causing major sepsis and nasty infections!
Sorry to learn of that very unnecessary death. He should have heeded the pain and possibly, fever, and gone straight to the doc. -
Pain is usually our body's way of nudging us and telling us that something is wrong. We then have to attend to it and get it diagnosed and cured. Dismissing pain and fever by comforting ourselves that it's no big deal, etc is a really silly response because you never know, it can be the last thing you feel!Originally posted by Fatum:yes .... appendicitis is such a simple, treatable thing ... a simple procedure and everything will be fine ....

So, always heed pain... your body is trying to tell you something's not right! -

Shinta which doc you seeOriginally posted by shinta:i see the doc for every little thing. -
But sometimes you don't really know if it is Muscle ache or some other thing. The appendix is on the right side of your body right?
I got some pain on the left side of my hip for abt 3days after I went for a swim. I think I better monitor. Too bad I got no 11B now to use. Later I go see doc and he say is muscle pain, use relief cream and 20bucks please. -
