poor bum
June 21, 2011You know what really disrupts life? Allergies.
Sighh…. I’m definitely a cheap date because I can’t eat seafood. I can only wink at expensive lobsters, prawns and shellfish from afar.
This was what happened to me last Saturday.
Sighhhh
I ate TWO prawns.
TWOO!!!
ONE.
TWO.
And whoooshhh in an hour, my face had red spots, my body was red everywhere. Usually, I eat them anyway (because I have no self control) and will probably get one or two dots on my arm that will go away in a few minutes. But I think because I’m also a bit sick, my immunity isn’t as strong.
So yes, my mom and Dean forced me to go to the doctor.
After some resistance, I finally said, “Fine….Let me put on my make up first, then we go.”
They both gave me a you’re-beyond-help look and said “No. We’ll go now.”
I just grabbed one of Opah’s black scarf and practically covered my whole face with it, hiding in shame.
I looked HORRIBLE, seriously.
So I went to the doctor and what a treat, I actually met with World’s Meanest Doctor. Have you met WMD?? I should’ve asked for her autograph.
I am never going to that 24-hour clinic ever again.
She was horrible. When my mom and I walked in, she was like, “Ah, kenapa…”
I explained to her and she didn’t move a muscle. “Nak cucuk ke nak pil?”
I asked her how long will it take to heal if I had a jab.
“10 minutes or so.”
I asked her how long it will take to heal if I took a pill.
“Saya tak tahu. Saya bukan Tuhan.”
Ok…so you’re only God when it comes to poking needles in people, got it.
“Alamak…saya takut dengan jarum!” I wailed softly.
Usually a doctor with good patience and being kind in nature would say, “It’s ok…it doesn’t hurt. It’ll be like semut gigit.” Who cares if the doctor’s lying through his teeth, at least he’s calming the patient!
This one said, “Suka hati awaklah. Cucuk ke pil ni?”
Ishhh!! If you don’t care about people and your patience level is nil, whyyyy are you in a purely people-based industry?
I chose the jab and regret it till now.
She was not gentle at all, and she scolded me when she was jabbing me.
I’m sitting on one backside until today! I’m so scared to put pressure on the other bum.
After the jab, I couldn’t really feel my legs! I now know the importance of your backside. Your backside doesn’t function, your legs don’t function! I limped all the way to the car, one hand covering my face and the other comforting my bum, ignoring the Drama Queen remarks I got from Mom and Dean. They weren’t the ones with almost-paralysed buttocks, what do they know.
awwh poor vivy! jahatnye doctor tu!
Oh my. The doc was so not polite, not friendly at all. How could she treat a patient just like that? hmm..
Anyway, get well soon PD. π
get well soon PD!
kesiannyaa π doctoe jahat
i’m a med student and I do agree not all doctors are nice out there and I’m really hoping that one day I’ll never turn out to be like that. thanks for this post and hoping that you will heal faster!!..:))
doctor paling jahat!!poor thing, next time sila control makan π
Baru lepas breakup dgn boyfriend kot? lol π
Vivy, if I were you I would have walked out…it does not seem the ‘nice’ doctor cared anyway! Try going Gleneagles Ampang A & E Department, or any hospital next time. From my experience, Gleaneagles is not expensive for an outpatient treatment. At least you’ll get proper treatment & no sore buttocks(no pun intended). Hope you get well soon. Take care!
p/s: My boyfriend is allergic to seafood as well. It is so annoying to ME! Since he cannot eat it, I must follow suit…Aaarrghh! Oh well, time to find new a new guy…
ololoo..sian vivy.i can tell that u cried.hehe siann diaa π heee..ask ajji to come and visit u everyday π treat u with good food ok.hehe..get well soon v! – K.Erin

get well soon PD.
… to wid,got such doctor?
get some over the counter anti histamine for emergency, such as piriton ke, benadryl ke…kesian adik…get well soon,
V, I know this post is a sad post but the way u wrote it was so funny I was giggling in the end. I so feel you. I had this allergy reactions so many times but I couldn’t really pinpoint what I ate that caused it. My whole body including face looks like I got big red rashes all over it but thank god I never met a mean doctor. I got jab at my butt when I went to 24 hours clinic and my arms when I went to the hospital. Jab is better as they work quite fast. Well u will look normal Tmrw dun worry.
vivy, gimmi d clinic name! esok i panggil Ah-Long simbah cat merah ok π hehe…Get well soon princess π
hey, i’m a pharmacist, thought i’d let you know it takes about 20-30 minutes for the antihistamine pill to work and an hour before the full effect is achieved. Hope you’re better!

that doctor should learn from this lil girl on how to treat patients ehh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5tFLIDv8f4&feature=share
omai..pity you dear!
a friend of mine is allergic to dairy products that her lips will turn to angelina jolie’s lips! and once she went unconscious because of her allergies and needed to be hospitalised that day. =(
anyway, get well soon!
aww, maybe it was the type of prawns u ate? some are more ‘poisonous’ than others – mantis prawns are EVIL.
she has no bedside manners, and i thought my lasik doctor was bad :3
Who the hell give these doctors the license to behave this way to their patients, anyway??! We’re PAYING customers forgodssakes! So sick of listening about PR-less docs!
Maybe the doc have a bad day, bad timing..
Nx time if u really want to eat prawn, leave the head part which contain the “allergic” thingy
maybe dia syok kat dean but he had eyes on u so that’s y the meanness comes out
get well soon dear
ala ciannye vivy..i also have food allergy, all those seafood, spicy food smua x leh mkn..i guess the best way is to avoid all those food. I know it’s hard ..but that’s the only thing that will keep u away from evil doctors and embarassing rashes all over ur face/body..trust me babe! π
i have the same allergies for crustaceans.. over here in aust, we get telfast allergy pills from the pharmacies and you see the rashes subsiding within one to two hours.. best to take a pill, turn on the aircon and go to sleep for awhile and it will be gone by the time you wake haha. the heat only agitates your emotions and the rashes so yes, aircon is necessary. π i say only take the jab if you need to go to an important event in the next two hours!
Hie Vivy, indeed the worst doctor one can get! a friend of mine got the same kind of ‘I am not God’ remark from a doctor before. It is just plain rude. My friend, after much persuasion from a doctor friend of ours, got around and made an official complaint to MMA (Malaysian Medical Association) – http://www.mma.org.my/. MMA will and have taken the complaint seriously and long story short, the said doctor got transferred. Hope this helps you and others from having to suffer the same lousy treatment from a doctor. π
Agghh that’s pretty terrible, I’ve had experiences like that in Malaysia. There’s nothing worse than having someone treat you like dirt when you are already in pain..I just got out of hospital btw, had to do a CAT scan and a bunch of other poking and prodding and the nurses and doctors were so lovely, explaining everything and constantly asking if I’m okay and if that hurts or if this stings and actually apologizing when I was wincing that in the end I was saying sorry for causing them worry. They actually made my day. It’s a shame that there are some doctors who are completely heartless out there..Hope the allergy clears up soon!
WTF! Stupid doctor ever! doctor its not like that.. Ask doctor to stay in the Jungle la… Get well soon babe!
vivy,
dont eat seafood again.. never..
siannya vivy…
Poor vivy..
do drink loads and loads of water to WASH off those whatever-chemical-they-have-in-those-seafoods. You can also drink milk or consume dairy products to help ease those itchy/red-patches. Take care!
this is utmost important!!!!!!!! carry some anti-histamine with you. i swear they work!! i always get hives out of nowhere and i carry them with me. it works in like minutes! try it!
An evil witch doctor I must say!Maybe its that ‘time of the month’?Mood swings,moody..and all.You should’ve taken the pills.At least tak merana badan.I had this allergy too when I was a kid.Swollen face and itchy lips…my lips looked bigger and sexier than Angelina Jolie..hah hah!
huh mine too!must jaga those makanan yang buat alergik.
pitty u Viv.
so cute la u..dalam sakit pun boleh lagi ye berlakon suruh amik gambar just to udpate the blog.. kalau i , dah sakit tu tak igt apa dah..sakit jugak… π sangat comel proudduck …

i hope u get well soon…
oh no poor u… takper v, ada ubi ada batas… next time tuhan balas… k k (rhyme tak rhyme tak?? lame yah.. i know i know).. take care and get well soon…
She was impolite and rough. She made your bum paralyzed some-more!! oh my!! Poor you, Vivy. I hope you will have speedy recovery.
Anyway, is that in the picture your mom? Omai!! She is so slim π

Poor u Vivy..

Btw, u looks so suci in last pic =D
vivy, tuhan nak uji u tu sebab u degil sangat, dah tau allergic tapi still nak makan udang…hehe. make sure kalau u teringin sangat in future, u dah prepare ngan ubat….
doc tu maybe ada masalah pribadi kot. cepat sembuh k
Wow..rude doc! Thot we can only find this kind of ‘WMD’ at a ‘non-private’ hospital or clinic. I think ‘MEAN’ must be her middle name. Speedy recovery PD!
I mean Speedy recovery Vivy..!!
Sumpah kejam.Kalau i jadi u,i akan kata i nak pill.Then bila dapa pill,i straight away throw the pills into tong sampah.demn
same thing, same situation, same Dr’s reaction…infact it was 3.00 a.m. maybe the Dr was tired or sleepy.but shud act pro la.mmmmm.
get well soon π
stupid hell of a doctor..why dont u just reveal d clinic so dat we wont go there ptff
V, get well soon…:)
ive met WMD twice in my entire life and been telling everybody bout it. theyre so MEAN to sick ppl.so heartless. so unacceptable
Poor vivy. I’m fair-skinned and sensitive too. You should try Ag-factor. Good for long run. It improves immune system and lessen your skin redness due to sensivity. Work out well for me!
p/s : just sharing. not promoting whatsoever π
tell the doctor to stop servicing!
Don’t go to female doctors. They have pms.
hi vivy..i pun alergic mcm u juga, tapi xla sampai 1 body kene, i cuma bengkak kat bibir je, lama juga nak baik, 2 weeks baru baik, i just sapu ubat krim je.After baik i mkn lagi seafood.X bley nak control la.hehe…
