If ok then reply with how the hospital service, nurse.......
 
If you don't hear from me then the operation went badly. Hope everyone stays the same in this forum. Its been a good journey so far.

Hi Bro, all the best and take care. You have been very helpful to me in the Emigration folder. Stay strong and be back soon.
 
The free 1s has a waiting period of 4 years. I can't wait that long.

Thanks for telling us ash007. Maybe not all of us here but I believe many here will feel your anxiety and pain in having to go through this. All we have say is be strong and trust yourself to he hands of the surgeons. Hope to see you back soon stronger than before.
 
Hope Not Another Krafty Posting ?

Geeze, I've been in situation before. Operation succeed or die. I was already half dead when the doctors asked me to consent form. I half dead still joked with them, I want to sign with Parker pen, not cheap ballpoint. Well anyway, they managed to save me. I wish you all the best, sincerely from my heart.
 
Take care, buddy. You will be alright. :)

Just some excessive info ...

I had a good experience with public tertiary medical care over here. For all the bad news about healthcare mistakes and waitingtime, I still find the level of care here better than in Singapore hospitals.

The ambulance driver and assistant were very reassuring and attentive. ER staff and nurses are pretty caring too. I had to wait about 20 mins in the holding area after triage because the staff disappeared to the heli-pad to attend an emergency airlift of dying country car accident patients. They checked on me like every 5 mins and even joke that they had not forgotten me.

WA is a bit different for ambo coverage compared to NSW. My ride on the St John's Emergency ambo cost $475 and is paid in full by Ambo cover.

Meanwhile, my car was still parked at the street kerb.
The City Council later waived my parking fine, and sent me a nice letter after they learnt that I was hospitalised.

One sexy agency nurse even have time to talk to me about her 3 month holidays in IndoChina.

Hospital food is average.
The x-ray machine is 30 years old!
Watch the towels used by nurses - The standard of hygiene is lower than in Singapore.
I simply told the nurse that I have Bacteriophobia so that they will be more careful about me getting discomfort over superbugs.
 
Expect you back real soon. If you can cross over, your will power would naturally be on the high side.

good morning eatshitndie. Can't help noticing if you join your last few sentences with your signature it sounds funny - if I may,

"chest thump - a greeting of honor at the healthy heart center in sgh. don't worry i'm fine. and i'm sure ash is too. i carry neantherthal genes."

Its like "don't worry, neantherthals have strong heart"

yeah, we hump the shit out of cro-magnon's. :D btw, not a patient (no patience for that) but just a disturber of the peace. talked to a native malay chap. he was only 45. had triple bypass at 37, 1st heart attack at 14. not his diet but his genes. afflicted only one sibling out of a dozen, repeatable pattern in family history. he is like the chosen few among 3 generations with susceptible heart disease gene - probably destined in genetic history for early elimination so as to spare others in family from same fate. ironic that modern medicine allows gene to continue reproduction and propagation. :p
 
Bro,

Just remember, do not walk into the white light...no matter how nice it feels and looks.
 
These 3 years I have occasional heart palpitation it was so bad ine night that it woke me up and I dare not move after 5mins of persistent palpitation, I slowly made my way to the BP machine and took my readings, machine could not do any ready with a simple message "out of range". Everything slowed down after 15mins. I went to heart doc for checks and scan and even had machine fitted on me for 24hrs while I go home to sleep. No sign of anything. I still get this occasionally and I know heart beat is in range of 150 when it happens but nothing I can do. I wonder if its a warning sign.

take no chances. go see another heart specialist and get an ekg check. heart palpitation and irregular heartbeats are often misdiagnosed. avoid humping thai chicks for a couple of days just to be safe. for sure must avoid sinkie chicks for at least 2 weeks as they can cause heart attack even without sex. :p

You sounds like you have experience walking away from the white light, tell leh, how did you do that?

I love life on earth and I am sure all others do and we could only do that if we learn from others how to escape from that shinning glare. :D
