Kalau tak pasal satu request yang terpaksa dipenuhi, aku memang tak pegi buat CT scan. Tunggulah....atau mungkin tak pegi langsung dah. Bila kita rasa kita sihat, macam tu lah. So, nak buat scan ni, mesti ambik referral letter dari Doctor tau. Jangan memandai terus pegi ke Radiologi Dept. No Letter No Scan!!
Hmmm....ada chance lah aku jumpa DrN'Aini untuk bertanya khabar ni. 4 tahun tak jumpa dia. So, sampai kat Consultation Suite, aku minta masuk sekejap. "I just want to say Hi to her. Just for 1 minute". Staff Dr terus kata "OK but I'm not sure she remembers you". Aku pun jawab "I am sure she remembers me". I am glad Dr.N'Aini ingat aku. First thing she said "Rambut you masih hitam lagi". Kami sembang for a good 30 minutes. Kesian kat patients dia yang dok tunggu kat luar tu....
Ohhh...the scan procedure....Firstly, tukar baju, pakai baju hospital. Diberi minum 2 cawan Contrast water (dye). Inject IV kat lengan. After 20 minutes, minum 1 cawan contrast water. 10 minit kemudian, minum lagi 1 cawan. Terus dipanggil ke scanning room. Baring. Masuk 1 ubat + air dalam punggung. Radiologist bagi short briefing. "Tak boleh gerak2 ya sebab scan nanti blur, nanti kena datang lain kali untuk buat lagi" . "Ubat akan dimasukkan melalui IV. Akan rasa panas sedikit. Kalau rasa sakit & tak tahan, angkat tangan ya. Kami nampak". "Bernafas ikut arahan - bernafas seperti biasa - tarik nafas - tahan nafas - nafas seperti biasa"
So, Set to start. 3 sets of pics taken. Adalah rasa burning sikit masa ubat masuk melalui IV. Overall, very relaxing. Dah selesai, tanggalkan IV, tukar baju. Tunggu report, Tak sampai 30minit dah siap report dan scan film, Bayar bil. Jumpa DrN'Aini lagi sekali sebab dia nak tengok the scan film. She said "Alhamdulillah. All OK. So, take care and keep in touch"
Alhamdulillah. All OK.
Very good news for My Birthday, I guess? Well, I always feel great!!
Note: In some cases, a dye called contrast material may be used. It may be put in a vein (IV) in your arm, or it may be placed into other parts of your body (such as the rectum or a joint) to see those areas better. For some types of CT scans you drink the dye. The dye makes structures and organs easier to see on the CT pictures.
