Clemmie second time pulling her elbow again. This time climbing up a bunk bed and slipped. Rushed her to the closes hospital by taxi Hong Kong Baptist Hospital. Dr. Constantine Au attended to her after we waited for 2 hours at this private hospital. Who knew that on a Sunday it gets so busy?!? The nurses were loosing their heads too running around from room to room and trying to calm one patient down then to the next one.
This time it was a minor pull. There wasn't a loud cracked like last time, but she was definitely not using her right arm. After 5 minutes of the doctor maneuvering her arm, she was back to normal and running out to the waiting room using both her arms. My parents were in awed. See that is what happens a child cannot fake those kind of broken arm. At least she slept for 30 minutes with her power nap awhile waiting for the doctor.
The official receipt came to HKD 250 = USD 33.00. My ER bill last time for her was in the USD 560 range. And we didn't get any health insurance in Hong Kong and we had an insurance in the US. At least with a day of work in Hong Kong, people can pay for their ER bill making HKD 28 an hour as minimum wage. Even at USD 10 an hour as minimum wage in the state of California people still can't afford to pay ER bill and they have insurance on top of that fact. This is a fallacy with the US medical and insurance system!
