Dr. Lam Shih Kwong (Paediatrician/Child Specialist)

Let's pause for a moment from the updates so far. My kid is currently sick so I have to off and on take care of her. I brought Jenny to see Dr. Lam Shih Kwong yesterday since she was having fever and cough. I was referred by my friend who told me I should take my kid to see Dr. Lam at Alpha Specialist Centre. I heard of him before from many of my friends but I yet to try him. I went to Alpha's website and search for his clinic hours and thank god, he was available yesterday evening. My friends told me I should expect a queue as the doctor spends his time explaining to parents and making sure that the kid is comfortable before assessing them. I was no.8 according to the "list" from the nurse. 

Well, now I know why he's famous. I was able to catch some work while Jenny spent her time watching her fav cartoon on the TV. As I watched, more and more parents start coming to the centre. In a short period, there were about 10 of them. Gosh.. I was lucky to be early. He must be damn good. The nurses were quite friendly and nice. Jenny enjoyed their company. Then came our turn. 

The moment Jenny stepped in, Dr. Lam greeted her with a soft voice asking her what's wrong. " My dear, what's wrong? Don't worry yah, Uncle Lam is here. Don't be afraid, ok.." knowing jenny, she'll be crying by now (from past experience) but she didn't. Instead she smiled at the doctor. It was such relieved. The way he talks and the way he assess Jenny really amazes me. Everything he asked Jenny to do she just followed. He was gentle and when he checked Jenny's tongue, he didn't even need to put a "stick" into her mouth. 

Other doctors would do so. He said "come cutie face, can you open your mouth a little bit for uncle lam to see"... and she just opened it while he did a quick check with his torch light. Dr. Lam explained she had fever but it's not too high. He gave a few pointers on how to take care of her especially since she may be uncomfortable taking the medicine. As we about to leave the room,  Dr. Lam smiled and bid goodbye to Jenny and she returned with a smile and bye. That was so nice. 

The charges were not expensive. I told my wife, we are going to come to Dr. Lam Shih Kwong from now on. Anyway, for those of you who wants to bring your children to see "Uncle Lam", I have prepared his clinic schedule for you. Fyi, he's no longer at Megah.
