If you want to see what KLSMC looks like on the inside, here’s a snapshot I took of the waiting room:

Gavin’s in the foreground because I didn’t want to look like I was trying to take a picture of their waiting room.  What you see here is probably just a quarter of the reception area so you can imagine how big the place is.  The photo probably doesn’t do the place justice since it came from my phone.  It’s a pretty swish waiting room and it sure beats the crummy waiting rooms you see in the government hospitals and even in some private clinics. 

In most cases, you probably don’t want to be there any longer than you have to because the place creeps you out and if it weren’t for the doctor, wild horses wouldn’t bring you anywhere near it. Well, KLSMC is a lot more presentable and definitely a more pleasant environment to be in if you had to wait somewhere.  Probably about the only thing they could do with is a TV and some more updated magazines.  I mean 2004?  What could possibly be still relevant from a magazine that old?

I think they’ve done a pretty good job with the comforts in the waiting area, but I still think they ought to take a leaf out of the book of this dentist I know.  Since we have to pay that much to see them, the least they can do is go the extra mile to make us feel at home. 

That dentist I just mentioned never keeps magazines in his waiting room that are older than three months.  He also offers tea, coffee, juice and water facilities.  He plays a TV in the background and you can select from a series of children’s VCDs (yeah, it was a long time ago when I went to visit him) to put on if you so desire.  There’s also a really neat children’s play area and they upkeep it really well.  It doesn’t look like the bug-infested petri-dish you see in some places - the kind that no sane parent in their right mind would let their child anywhere near.

Of course, he charges an arm and a leg for his services, but at least he knows how to treat his patients well.  You pay for it but you know exactly what you’re getting for your money.  Sadly, I never got that feeling with KLSMC.

In fact, when I did the exercises they asked me to do, I could have sworn my ankle felt worse.  A few days after I stopped, it felt a bit better.  Of course, it’s hard to say whether my ankle would feel better if I persisted with the exercises, but I didn’t persist.  I decided to go with an ankle brace instead - to use only when I know I’m going to engage in an activity that’s going to make it hurt again, like when I’m rocking Gavin to sleep.

Aside from that, I might try to start Yoga and Pilates from home again - that is, if my son lets me…
