Hi Mummies

re: pnuemococcal
Just to share on pnuemococcal.. For mummies who have not bring the babies to vaccinate the above, pls do so.
My colleague nephew just passed away 2 weeks ago. He was only 25 mths.
He had fever on a Monday (on and off, less than 38 degrees). So his mum only fed him with the pink panadol.
His fever did not get better. Thus, by Wednesday, brought him to see a PD at Pasir Ris (Pasir Ris Baby and Chxld Clxnxc). The doctor gave them some medicine and they went back.
By Friday, the boy still did not get better. They called the clinic to ask how. The doctor said "Nowadays, parents so kiasu, come and see me on Wed and Fri call me again!". On hearing this, the mummy felt that "Oh, maybe I really to kiasu ald.. just monitor to see how"
Things did not get better. On Monday, they decide to bring the boy to Polyclinic since he started to feel restless. The doctor decide to do a blood test for him since its the 8th day of the fever. After drawing the blood, the boy went to sleep... and passed away... Everyone was shocked...
The blood test report came out on wed and the boy was diagnosed with pnuemococcal.
The doctor at the mentioned clinic is under police investigation currently.</font>
