<font color="0000ff">Hi Babaleo,</font>
Sure. No worries, I'll help to answer everything that I know.
<font color="0000ff">Re: r u a pte patient?</font>
Ans: Initially I was a subsi-patient referred by Polyclinic. Subsi-patient cannot choose doctors; will be seen by any doctors on duty. But I was lucky to see Dr SF Loh on 1st my appt. Once I was on SO-IUI programme, KKH converted me to a pte patient.
<font color="0000ff">Re: how was the waiting time to c doc if I wan to specify the doc i wan to c?</font>
Ans: So far, my 1st appt with Dr Loh, eg. my appt at 10.10am, I got to see him at about 11am. But of course, I reached there earlier to wait lor. But if he's held up with IVF or other surgery, I think patients gotta wait longer. This is the same for pte gynae too.
<font color="0000ff">Re: is dr loh good and the service at kkh?</font>
Ans: So far, from checkup till now pregnant, I only saw him 3 times. Why only 3 times - cos once under SO-IUI programme, scannings done by the radiographer. Then let doctor reviewed the results will be any doctor on duty. I think there're 4 gynaes under KKIVF Centre seeing patients. So they'll rotate. Happened that only got to see Dr Loh 1 time during that programme. 3rd time was when I confirmed my pregnancy.
Frankly speaking, don't know him very well yet. However he is very friendly and concern with all his patients. He response very quick in emails. My fren's mother saw him for surgery to remove womb & she likes him too. Fyi, a few MTB's at IVF thread under him like him too.
<font color="0000ff">Re: r u able to c the doc as soon as u call to make the 1st appt as understand that some popular docs need mths of advance notice?</font>
Ans: KKH is not pte hospital. So u must understand that certain practices are very different. I gave birth my 1st child at GlenE. And initially I find that the system is totally different at KKH. Unlike pte gynaes, when make appt for any urgent matters, can go down immediately to see the gynae. For KKH any urgent matters, even though got appt prior arranged, still hv to go KK A & E. Your date of 1st appt to see doc will also depend on his schedules. The KK appt hotline will give u an appt date.
<font color="0000ff">Re: will i be able to start SO-IUI after the 1st appt?</font>
Ans: This question I think only doctors can answer you. U hv to tell your doctor what u had gone thro previously etc...& he'll decide for you.
<font color="0000ff">Re: the whole procedure of SO-IUI is done by the doc or nurses?</font>
Ans: Procedure is done by a gynae on duty. 1 KKIVF nurse will stand beside the doctor to assist.
