The Kidney Stone

The emergency doctor when he when he has to refer me to a specialist, I told him I will see my classmate, Peng Kok. Then I told him Peng Kok's wife Lay Tin was my classmate and a Cardiologist, Yung San too. He looked at me and asked why am I not here! I forgot my response. I should have told him this is my big regret or I prefer engineering. Anyway, Peng Kok told me my stone is quarter way down and the x-ray did not show where the stone is and therefore I have to wait for three more weeks before going for another CT scan. He can do a procedure to retrieve the stone but high chance of the stone going back to the kidney.
Since I have to travel, he suggest if I am really in pain, I have to go to a reputable hopital especially in a lot of countries in Asia.
Today, I did not have any pain. I stopped the painkillers and constipation stopped as well. Now I am in suspense and worry about when I will be hit by the sledgehammer or mother all of pains.

Since you're travelling often while awiting for further treatment. Its advisable to made known to at least a person at each country that you're gona travel. Just for emergency, you can call up someone.

Good suggestion, Smilley! Thank you!!

P, Lay Tin is quite a common name. This classmate of Gugu is an anesthesiologist. She only put people to sleep or relieve their pain.
