Friday, 10 March 2023 ~ Today I did my scheduled Calcium-Score Screening Heart Test (Coronary Calcium CT Scan with ECG) followed by a quick QRISK Score at SJMC.
The entire procedure was pretty quick – about 20 minutes of waiting time for my turn at the Imaging Dept. and 15 minutes in the doughnut-shaped tunnel and I was back to the cardiologist’s office. After another 10 minutes of waiting time and in I went to see him for the review of the scan.
What a stark difference in waiting time at private hospitals vs. government hospitals (HKL). With all of Cass’ diagnostic scans and procedures at HKL, whether inpatient or outpatient, OT procedure or only a chat with the doctor(s), we had to wait for an entire day at the hospital, in a hospital packed like sardines. I kid you not. While in the lifts or at the waiting areas, my shoulders actually touch other patients’ shoulders. There are not enough chairs for everyone to sit and even not enough space for us to stand.
Going to HKL feels like going to a much dreaded boot camp – mentally and physically we are drained out after a day at HKL. But cost wise, I needn’t have to pay a single cent at HKL, most of the time.
With private hospitals, the ambience is like a 5-star hotel, comfortable, clean and waiting time is short. But the price is OH. MY. GOD. And all these diagnostic tests are not claimable from insurance. So is Cass’ medical bills as she has a congenital disorder.
See, in this case, money can make the world go round.🤑
Anyway, coming back to my CT Scan today.
Calcium score = 0
QRISK score = less than 1% of getting a major coronary event within the next 10 years.
And there’s no need to be on statin, yes!!
All is GOOD, praise the Lord 🙏
Cost of damage today is RM937.
My heart did very well in her test with all zeros. But if this were a school exam, I’d be doomed!In the changing room. Again I wore a long bra dress from Uniqlo, so I needn’t undress completely. I only pulled it down mid way before donning on the gown.The intimidating-looking doughnut machine. But I wasn’t nervous at all when I was inside the doughnut. It felt like being on an airplane in mid air. I was told to “Breathe in, breathe out, hold your breath, breathe normally” several times by a pre-recorded instruction from the machine. The entire procedure including the nurse strapping ECG electrodes onto my chest area is about 15 minutes.Our dinner today – pumpkin + roast pork bones porridge. Very yummy comfort food after a cold day at the hospital.
