Alternative medicine.

One of my uncle had the misfortune of suffering from multiple maladies. His intestines is suspected of ulcerations and his gall bladder has stones. This after multiple heart operations which led to his aversion to be hospitalised. Went to a clinic, got a handful of pills and he just endured the pain.

Until someone mentioned that perhaps he should try alternative procedures instead. We went to a place in Sentul where his diagnostic is exactly as the doctor from the clinic said it was. Two operation is required, both will take only ten minutes at a cost of RM3,600.00 each. An appointment was made to have it done the following day. The consultation and some pain killers and laxatives (he hasn't gone for a couple days...) cost RM100.00.

Someone else suggested to go to Setapak for removal of the stone. We did, the stone was removed in a couple minutes at a cost of only RM600.00 plus some herbal medication. Now, I do not intend to be advocating this methodology but my uncle is now fine, regular and is no longer in pain. If it works....

Anyway, my uncle is fine, only thing is, the cost is not covered by his medical insurance nor is he able to claim on it.

By the way, the picture above is merely to add some colour to this post. Has nothing to do with alternative medicine or whatever...
