Last week, T1 came home from school with food poisoning. My immediate reaction was GAH! SCHOOL FOOD!!! However, none of her other classmates were hit so perhaps it was just one of those things…..she had also eaten everything we had at home and all of us were fine. Just bad luck.
When her diarrhea started getting worse (poo-ing 10 times a day) and she came down with a fever, we finally took her to Gleneagles as we were in Nana’s house then and Tok-Tok insisted we took her in. The A&E Doctor was very nice, told us to monitor her and if it got worse, to return after 2 days. He prescribed some SMECTA for her diarrhea, Colix for wind, some paracetamol for her fever and hydration salts for rehydration.
Because it was night-time and I was stressed with T1 being sick and leaving T2 at home with Nana and Tok-Tok, and then having to organise dinner etc, I’d accidentally left my wallet at the medicine counter! Aarrghh!!!
I hadn’t even realised but when we were driving out of the hospital, I had a call and actually hadn’t wanted to answer it but eventually did and thank goodness, or I’d be stuck buying dinner without a wallet. Holy moly.
So back into Gleneagles we went to collect my wallet and as much as I would have liked to have offered the counter girl a reward for her honesty, I only had RM30 left for which I had to save for dinner, so I thanked her profusely instead.
Someone said that had my wallet not been so skint and had a few thousand worth of cash instead, I might not have seen my wallet again. However, I’d like to believe that there are still plenty Malaysians out there with good hearts and honest beings…….the Government however, is another story.
T1 eventually skipped school for an entire week as she had a bad case of food poisoning and was poo-ing 10 times a day for a good 5 days before it lessened and she was well again. Poor butt.

Ouchie!! Poor girl and poor butt indeed. My girl had a bout of food poisoning when we were in Penang recently, similar thing….everyone ate the same thing, and everyone was fine except her. But she self-treated herself by eating only certain food and drinking only certain drinks and eventually it went off by itself…. went to Guardian Pharmacy to buy her all the Smecta, Colimix, but nay…..money down the drain!
Did you managed to pin point how she got it? Good thing you managed toe retrieve your wallet else it’s the hassle of having to cancel and re-apply for all the cards & docs. Also you got the RM30 back. Every sen counts.
their A&E is pretty good and reasonably priced. Look for Dr Liang, the bald fella.
It may not be the food but perhaps her hands were dirty ?
sorry, the bald Dr.
wow…10 days lau sai is really bad hor… 🙁
