hi little twin star,
dr hk ho look strict and he has an opinion of his own. he has delivered 10,000 babies in a yr...half of Mt A pregnant cases are seen by him. if in a gd mood, he will crack jokes, but sometimes, his is "leng xiao hua"...sometimes, i cant tahan him as some questions i ask him, he will say it's ok and up to your own discretion. like for eg, yoga, for my 1st pregnancy, i'm still doing yoga and check with him, he ask it's ok and up to my own limits. i mean, he also did see the patient condition before giving the green light. but he's a very optimistic gynae.
talking of gynae costs, i definitely will incur more than the rest of the mummies here, as for my 5th mth detailed scan, i will have to go to another gynae at Mt E. the cost is going to be around $200 ~ $300. not that dr ho is/cant do this scan professionally, but this is requested by my neurologist. also, my medication dosage will be increased which mean ==> increase in prices.
for my #1, while in my tummy, i have already spent quite a sum for ensuring that she's ok..
sorry for the long posting, but my point is that u must be comfortable with him, money spent ==> buy an "an xin".
as for emergency number, i tot it's printed on the card? sorry, i never utilised it before.even though there's once i was admitted to A&E in the middle of the nite, but it was the on-duty nurse who paged for him to come.
