Second Blood Test

I received a call from KKH on Monday. They said the doctor had just reviewed the test results and would like me to go back for a second blood test together with my husband. The first thought that came across my mind was "Shit! Something must have went wrong. Otherwise there is no reason why they will ask me to go back for a second blood test." I forgot to ask the lady who called me for a reason of why I am required to do a second blood test.

I called hubs after that and he asked me to call them back and check with them instead of me getting so worried over what or where went wrong. No one picked up the call. It could be because it was already after their office hours by the time I tried to call back.

After having some time to think it through, I suspect it could be the case of the low haemoglobin level. Low haemoglobin level could be due to Thalassemia which is often checked if people are looking at having children. I suspected it was also the reason why hubs need to do a blood test just in case I really have Thalassemia.

We went back to KKH on Saturday for the blood test and I was right about them wanting to check if I have Thalassemia. I was tested negative for Thalassemia previously when I was at the polyclinic. However, I am not sure if I had kept the medical report on it. So I decided to proceed with the test anyway just to have some records. Hubs said he got "poked" all because of me. :P 

The cost of my second blood test and hubs came up to be $69.40 after subsidy.
