sigh.. i juz got back not too long ago.. went to consult this supposed skin specialist in the neighbourhood re. my boy's eczema... juz blew $150+ for a whole truck load of bull!
basically he painted a whole picture of gloom n doom... juz telling us the worst case scenario is he will prob hv to live wif this condition for life... no sun for him... keep him fr heat, dust, pets, carpets, curtains etc... keep him in aircon environmt 24/7!!!
prescribed anitibiotics, which hb n i r both not comfy with, for such a young age, n strong steroid!! got some cetaphil bath stuff which we cldve easily gotten fr pharmacy.
best is this... he juz shine one torch at my leg n in such a quick glance, he diagnosed me to hv eczema too! n my hb! n both of us hv neva been diagnosed wif this before, his reply" coz u neva consulted specialist rite?"
argh! am super duper pissed... he even commented actually we shd nt hv married each other cos eczema plus eczema= major eczema
am very upset n affected after the consultation... firstly it got us depressed that he so quickly gives the final verdict tt its a condition my poor boy has to live wif the rest of his life n we had better listen to him n use his medication etc...
2ndly, who was he to make that comment abt me n hb shd nt hv married?????
he even said if next time condition serious, consider sending him to live abroad where its nt so hot! argh!
hb n i gonna bring all the medication n go see PD tmr. we really dun trust this dude
mad mad MAD!
sorry,... need to rant...
