Peah Speaks #15: "I'm sorry baby, I know u are sick..but I need to go to work..."

Doctor: "so.. why are you here.."
Me: "we just want to give u extra money.."
Doctor: "hoho..don't say like that.."
Me: "...(smiling)..my daughter is having fever..her highest temperature was 38.7 degrees this morning"
Doctor: "..her throat sangat merah...she might have viral infection..if this continues, it will lead to bad tonsillitis..."..bla..bla..bla..

....

Doctor: "..i'll give her..paracetamol.."..bla..bla
Me: "I need MC today, doctor"
Doctor: "..NO..I can't give you one..ur not the one whois sick"
Me: (puzzled).."betul..but I kena cuti..I want to take care of my daughter"
Doctor: "..nope..I never gave out any mc...for mommies..unless ur sick..Your company might call me and ask me questions..."
Me: "..jap..what other working mothers would do..when their children fall sick"
Doctor: "...normally they will let the maids take care of the child or send it to the parents.."

He Approved The Medical Leave Eventually
  • Is this for real?  I don't blame the Doctor as he was defending his integrity and principal.
  • I don't have the heart to leave my daughter alone with my mother during her sickness.  I kept on thinking what kind of mother would have done that..
  • Sick babies need extra care from the mothers.  All I knew, she needs me to be by her side.
  • Hugs and kisses are truly one of the best medication.
  • Attention to all bosses who are reading this...may all of you to be considerate especially to working mothers...
  • I need to bring this to the parliament, need to write to Kementerian Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga dan Masyarakat
  • No matter how workaholic you are, taking one day leave for your sick child...does not mean that you are an unreliable and irresponsible staff.
  • What do you think...mothers?

fiza...kalo pg kat certain clinic..ex : klinik kanak2 equine, kalo anak ade ulser pon die akan bg mc kat mummies tau..huhuh its depend on doc...ade doc yg memang family oriented....huhuh

Mrs.Azhir said...

Fiza,

Thats whylah my cuti will always be zero even tak sampai bulan 12 lagi :(

Anak sakit kena cuti, suami sakit kena cuti and my mom sakit kena cuti..:(

So lama2 sapa yang akan sakit :p

nome said...

i setuju kalau u bawak benda ni ke parlimen....tak kira sehebat mana kerjaya kita, tp sbg ibu..kita kena utamakan family dan anak2...keje leh buat, leh carik...tp anak? lu pikirlah sendiri! tol tak? tp doctor tu spttnyer leh pk logik atau tak psl benda nih...tolonglah jaga sensitiviti perempuan yg bergelar ibu..huhuhu

fiza: saya pun penah kene cmtuh.. baruni saya amik time slip tp kampeni mcm x pasan tu adelah timeslip bukn mc..

n penah saya g gak keje walopun tau dah dia sakit n xdpt mc.. tu yg sara masuk spital aritu..

tonsil jgn biar, sbb budak2 mmg cepat dehydrated. nnti kene warded lagi susah..

ada clinic/doc mmg kasi mc kalau anak sakit.

nagakeciks said...

..thanks ein...takpe..actually aku ada regular clinic that we attend to..yg bole bagi mc..its just that..in terms of services,diagnose and medications...aku prefer tempat yg 'kedekut' mc ni...

the doc mmg cekap in diagnosing the sickness...dan sangat detail..pergi kat dia..rania cepat je..elok...tempat lain..adoi..

peah @ peps said...

shazat

elani makrai said...

hmmm, sbb tue la aku slalu kn potong gaji dl...sbb i prefer staying at home jg ammar then risau2 apa la jadi kat dia. lantak la boss nak kata apa...sapa lagi penting,,, our child!

peah @ peps said...

elani makrai
..aku agree with ur opinion... sangat betul... tapi mesti ada sifat compromise bagi pelbagai pihak..

kalau dok ikut lantak je...tak fair jugak la..kat employer...(kalau employer best laa..)..bankrap ler..company camtuh

Ardina said...

salam...

betui tu fiza, depends on doctor... tp lepas rasa susah je.. sbb asyik nak kena amik EL mcm susah je... (siap ade yg kata umur budak sekian2 baru blh minta EL.. etc); so akak tlh memikirkan cara paling bijak iaitu everytime bawa anak yg sakit.. akak akan fill up borang sendiri sakit gak.. sbb kita pun tak sihat kena berjaga malam kan.. :); sbb aritu dh pernah sekali akak pergi gak keje walaupun mlm sblm tak cukup tido and end up akak langgar kete org masa nak balik sbb tak sdar tertido..

Ardina said...

tp kalau government family first...
tu pasal ade 90 hari cuti lepas bersalin...

Mrs.Azhir said...

Peps,

Mana ada i dapat MC..semua itu adalah annual leave..:(

Akhir tahun org gi jalan2..i duduklah kat office...

Leen,

Anak masuk hospital parent yang jaga anak tu akan dapat compassionate leave kan?

peah @ peps said...

Ardina
..tula Kak Dalin..next time nak try mcm tu la...tapi mcm problem gak..sebab doc ni..paeditrician... dia bukan GP punye doc...so...mcm takde harapan je..

peah @ peps said...

Mrs Azhir
..la yeke..kalau camtu..kena check ngan company SOP la ni..kalau takde..then kite kenala..bgtau dorang..kite punye concerns ni..
