Try standing for a while or sit down on a cushioned chair and move your butt a bit, let the circulation flow... or you can walk around your house... see if the numbness subsides... I think it is more towards compression...Originally posted by mystiv:1 side only..

From the medico-legal point of view, if the patient directly asks his doctor a question as to his diagnosis we cannot lie to him. Doctors can certainly fudge the issue but if the patient ask a direct question, say, "Do I have cancer?"; we cannot tell a lie.
[b]REFERRAL TO ALFAGAL
On a side note, as doctors, for telling him about his illness, we deal it through case by case basis, and as for me, I will tell, but I will be tactful and bring this discussion to the closest family members first. Often the patients who have full insight enough will direct you on what you should do...

The School Health Services in Singapore also provide health checkups for children in primary and secondary schools. For polytechnics, I don't think they provide. For JC, I am not sure because I have never been to a JC.Originally posted by renorenal:I think nowadays, especially in Malaysia (I cannot speak for Singapore), the govt is very strict with vaccination and we would have yearly visits from the community health center's nurses in the schools.
We would be granted checks for vision, hearing, heart murmur screening and testicular descent (if detected especially at 6-7 years old, surgery is still feasible, but not at a later age, the reason that surgery is not done early is that the testes may come down on its own, but at a later age, no) before giving vaccination.
The common ones are height/weight and eyes. Only children at ages 6-7 and 11-12 are offered hearing checks. Similarly, only children at ages 6-7 and 11-12 are offered vaccination. The only exception is for 15 years olds. Those who have not had Hepatitis B vaccination, family who are carriers of Hepatitis B and those who have taken the vaccination at a young age and it has worn off will be given the vaccination.
Depending on the child's medical history, he/she may have to go for additional checkups at Outram Park or by the doctors who come to their school. Usually heart murmur screening is not done unless the child has a history of it. It is done by doctors from School Health Services. If serious conditions are detected, these kids are usually send to the respective specialists. For example, diabetes. -

Continuing my vaccination questions.
Does my sister need to take the BCG shot? Given Singapore's healthcare system, do you think she need it? -
