Really mean to see the doctor...

Today we didn't let Ethan go to school after considering his body temperature. We had made an appointment with the doctor at 11.30am. We arrived at the hospital and found out that our insurance card cannot do direct billing. We had to pay and only claim from the insurance company. Really troublesome process here in China.

Before we see the doctor, the nurse led us to the weighting machine. Ethan only weights 11.8kg. Really slim eventhough he ate a lot normally. Don't know where all the food go. We have to wait inside a room for the doctor.

Guess what? How much the bill we have to pay? It was RMB782 and this was only for the consultation fees. Extremely expensive. No medicine for Ethan as the doctor said let the kid to recover by themselves. Cannot imagine if still have the medicine, how much the hospital will charge us? Luckily we can claim back from the insurance company if not, really a big hole in daddy's pocket...See, really what mummy meant by see the doctor only.....
