Dec 2011 - I just want to share my experience visiting a gynae in Tmn Desa Medical Centre today. Actually this is the 2nd time I visited this hospital. First time I was at 8 weeks and I visited Dr. Ng Choon Keat as he is the only gynae available at that time. He charge me RM 75 for consultation + ultrasound. Today I am at 15 weeks and I thought I will try another gynae just to compare so I visited Dr. Ong Hean Choon. I understand Dr. Ong Hean Choon is more older and experienced and he also consults at Pantai Bangsar but he had no patients in TDMC anyway. We were the only ones there and he charged me RM 100 for consultation + RM 120 for ultrasound!! I was shocked to see the bill as it was such a vast difference from the last visit. I even asked him how come so expensive for ultrasound cuz I thought ultrasound is standard price charged by the hospital. But he said its not and depends on the experience of the doctor. Some more his ultrasound was a really really old machine compared to Dr. Ng Choon Keat. At least Dr. Ng's ultrasound had a monitor for the mother to see the baby but Dr. Ong's only had one monitor so he showed my husband 1st then only can show me. I won't got to Dr. Ong again eventhough he explained more things to us compared to Dr. Ng because I think he is definately overcharging! I checked with my other friends, even hospitals like Prince Court and SDMC is cheaper than what I paid today!

Nov 2011 - I'd been a patient with Dr Tang SDMC. Delivered my baby boy under natural method. Am pleased with her but be prepared for the long queue. Well, to avoid disappointment during visits, jot down your questions in a paper and ask her all you want... her visit is normally short and nice. Dun think she is pro in c-sect but her experience in c-sect sure comes in handy should there be any complications in the labour process. Just make sure you clarify with her that you opt for natural delivery... Well, if any doctor trying to coax you to go for c-sect, ask for all the reason behind it...

Nov 2011 - I met Dr Tang and I am kinda like her, so I did not to go to see other doctors already.
My next appointment will be next week and I can't wait to see her again.
Although it's my 1st visit early this month but I am able to see my baby's heart beat at 7W5D. It was amazing! I didn't spent a lot of time with her, but there are the special feeling that she's good gynae.
She will answer all the questions you have.

Oct 2011 - I am 6 weeks pregnant and I dunno which doctor to attend to for my first visit.
I stay in OUG. I have a gynae in Assunta, but I do not like her.
So now that I wish I can get some advice from the experienced mummy here. 
http://www.malaysiabrides.com/forum/topic/1704-fee-for-medical-center/page__st__540

Aug 2011 - How about the charges for Dr. Paul at Assunta?
It's ok, I can't PM you too. The cost is inclusive of the baby charges. Delivery is around 3-4K, and the baby charges would be around 1.5K if my memory serves me right. So all in all just under 5k. I stayed 2D/1N and I had epi. But epi charges are not that much (less than 1k), and you must also factor in variable charges like nursing fees, consumables fees etc etc. 5k is just an estimation. Hope this helps.

Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. Types of Zinc Supplements   There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or gluconic acid, so the main dif

Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack Vitamin Cocktail: Review 2024

By
Image
The  Zelenko COVID-19 Protocols  was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of  COVID-19 , or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin, zinc, vitamin D and C protocol for low-risk patients as w

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide (2023 Review)

By
Image
As of November 2023, there are more than 3,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to explain

10 Best NMN Supplements (2024 Review)

By
Image
NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ingredient resvera

Phytonutrients, Polyphenols and Flavonoids 101: What You Need to Know (2024)

By
Image
Besides nutrients, plant-based foods (legumes, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and teas as well as herbs and spices) have another “crop” of naturally occurring compounds with potential health benefits. Collectively they’re called phytonutrients, meaning plant chemicals. “Phyto” means plant. Think fight for “phytos,” since they appear to promote health by sparking body processes that fight, or slow, the development of some diseases. Phytonutrients comprise many different chemicals, including carotenoids, indoles, glucosinolates, organosulfur compounds, phytosterols, polyphenols, and saponins.  Why have phytonutrients captured our attention? Because of their potential for health promotion! Today consumers are more interested in positive nutrition and self-care: adding (not avoiding) foods that may enhance fitness, boost immunity, slow aging, and prevent or slow the chance for chronic disease. Sound like you? Research on phytonutrients is the new frontier in nutrition, as e

Looking for the best EECP treatment centres, reviews and prices in Malaysia? You've come to the right place! Enhanced External Counter Pulsation ( EECP ) is a non-invasive treatment to lower the number and intensity of angina episodes. It is an alternative solution for patients suffering from angina, who have exhausted all their other medical treatments and therapy choices. Treatment is administered through three pairs of external inflatable cuffs that are applied around the lower legs, upper legs and buttocks. A mechanism of squeeze-and-release is then synced with the heartbeat to increase blood flow to the heart and the rest of the body. Through this process, EECP generates new pathways surrounding the blocked arteries and expand the network of the small blood vessels to promote and increase blood flow towards the heart muscle. It can also be referred to as a natural bypass. In 2014, various renowned medical organisations, including the American Heart Association , Society of Car
