Don't understand why both parents are perfectly normal but gave birth to child with special needs?? Read this .....
Searched internet, rang hospitals hoping to be warded for the initial first two days of Radioactive Iodine (RAI) treatment - hyperactive thyroid. No hospital in Spore allowed it. At SGH, no matter how much I explained, highlighted my worries, the need to be away from my girl, the clinic nurse, Nuclear Dr and his senior said for low dosage, there's no need and no facility to accommodate my request. It is not a standard practice to admit low dosage RAI patient in Spore. I was given this paper:
What's printed is different from what I was told.
Nuclear Dr said it is perfectly alright to take public transport as long as I don't sit next to or be close to babies and pregnant women for more than 30 mins. How would I know a woman (in first trimester) is pregnant? Her tummy isn't showing so how do I know who is safe and unsafe to be near? It is hard for me to be 1 meter away from my girl or any "pregnant woman". Many people hesitated to give up priority seats in mrt because some pregnancies are not obvious. One friend who worked in healthcare line checked for me and was told some RAI patients .... for the sake of young children (below 5 years old) and be "social responsible", decided to book a hotel till the radiation wear off. All these are not reimbursable. No insurance company or company welfare won't take in your "hotel" claim.
Taking a taxi (small confined area) is still considered "unsafe" in my opinion because you won't know immediately after you, did a pregnant woman get into that taxi. Don't understand why some people didn't think far and play safe for the benefit of others. You may want to say the possibilities are extremely low .... but it can occur to an unlucky person, especially when the RAI patient happened to cough or sneeze.
You can't blame the RAI patient because Dr ....a person deemed to be very professional assured it was ok and ignored the unforeseen circumstances. Egoistic doctors just felt patients have over worried, they hate patients who are not submissive.
As you can see from pic, my RAI treatment is in Dec. Dr said I am fit to resume work the next day. He and his senior felt I have over reacted. I don't want to be finger pointed for any "mishaps/unfortunate things" so I don't intend to tell my colleagues I'm going for RAI treatment.
