Patients can now get a $50 rebate and get priority service if they are referred by us to Changi General Hospital A&E. So instead of paying $126 for the standard A&E fees, you now pay only $76. <br />
<br />
So, when in doubt, visit our clinic first before heading straight to the A&E. Many conditions can be treated at our clinic. If you do require referral to A&E, we will refer you and you get a $50 rebate.<br />
<br />
This service is available to residents as well as non-residents and you will need to visit the A&E within the same day.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Karri Family Clinic

Do you find yourself dozing off during the day or while driving? Does your partner complain that you snore very loudly or even seem like choking during sleep? If you are male, overweight, middle aged and have a thick neck circumference, chances are that you may have sleep apnoea. <br />
<br />
Sleep apnoea is a condition where the soft tissues in your neck gets so relaxed during sleep that it blocks the airway and causes you to wake up momentarily many times during the night. Thus you never get into deep sleep and wake up feeling that you haven't slept well.<br />
<br />
This condition is quite common and affects around 30% of the adult population in Singapore.<br />
<br />
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) can affect your health as well. Approximately 50% of those suffering from sleep apnoea have high blood pressure and OSA may be a risk factor for heart attacks.<br />
<br />
If you suspect you have sleep apnoea, do drop by the clinic. We can do a simple test to see if you have this condition and help you get a good night's sleep!<br />

Please remember to get your children vaccinated against measles. There has been a surge in measles cases in Singapore. The first jab is usually given at 12 months and the second at 15-18 months. You may have kids who have taken the first jab but not the 2nd. Please bring them in for the booster jab as soon as possible.<br />

Reducing outdoor activities and physical exertion can help limit the ill effects from haze exposure. Given the air quality forecast for the next 24 hours, healthy persons should avoid prolonged or strenuous outdoor physical exertion. The elderly, pregnant women and children should minimise outdoor activity, while those with chronic lung or heart disease should avoid outdoor activity. Persons who are not feeling well, especially the elderly and children, and those with chronic heart or lung conditions, should seek medical attention."</span><br />

In addition, if you have asthma or sensitive airways, please use your inhaler if you are feeling short of breath. If that doesn't relieve the symptoms, please seek medical attention. <br />

<br />
Pioneer Generation card holders will get $28.50 deducted from your bill. So, if your consultation and medications come up to $50, you pay only $21.50. For Blue Tier card holders, if your bill is $50, $18.50 will be deducted from your bill and you pay $31.50. Different rates apply for chronic diseases. Please refer to the chart below or check the <a href="http://www.chas.sg/">CHAS website</a> for more details.<br />

<br />
<br />
When I was young boy, my mum used to always cook an egg for me for breakfast. For those of us who grew up in the 70's and before, the egg was good, healthy food and I often remember people in those days bringing eggs to the Char Kway Teow or Roti Prata man to have them add it into their dish to enhance it.<br />
<br />
In between then and now, the egg became a sort of poster boy for high cholesterol food. So much so that people started to cut down on eggs. I am sure you know of people who would eat the egg white and leave the egg yolk behind. The message that eggs were high in cholesterol and would thus lead to high blood cholesterol was so well marketed that it became entrenched in everyone's mind.<br />
<br />
In recent years, the thinking about eggs has changed. Not only have egg producers managed to lower the cholesterol content of eggs, but there have been studies that show that there is no link between eating eggs and high cholesterol levels. In these studies, people who were given two eggs to eat daily showed no significant increase in cholesterol levels compared to those who didn't eat eggs. As a result of this new information, the <a href="http://www.heartfoundation.org.au/healthy-eating/fats/Pages/cholesterol.aspx">heart foundation</a> are now telling us that eggs are nutritious and a healthy part of a balanced diet. <br />
<br />
I often have to counsel parents with kids who are finicky eaters. You know, those who are slightly underweight and don't eat very well. My advise is always to give these kids an egg for breakfast in the morning. Eggs are packed full of goodness and they are a good source of healthy protein for growing kids. Unlike adults, kids actually need cholesterol because they are the building blocks for growth. And, it's certainly healthier for your child to eat a soft boiled egg for breakfast than having those sweetened cereals and fruit juices which have so much added sugar! <br />
<br />
Now before you go out and binge on eggs, let me just remind you that eating an hard boiled egg is good but eating an egg fried in butter is not as the butter is high in saturated fats. Same goes for eating that extra slice of cake. There are eggs in cake but there is also (most of the time) saturated fats like butter which is not good for your cholesterol levels. Same goes for that bowl of ramen. It might be ok to eat that egg, but the ramen soup is full of pork lard which is high in saturated fats! So please, what I am saying about eggs refer to just the egg alone! You still need to take note of how it is prepared!<br />
<br />
One last word on eggs. When you buy your next tray of eggs, do take note of the nutritional information on each tray. Nowadays, egg farmers are feeding their chickens which different feeds which can really lower the cholesterol levels of eggs and increase Omega 3 fatty acids. So if you are still concerned about cholesterol levels (especially those with heart conditions) you can actually buy eggs which are lower in cholesterol!<br />
<br />
At the end of the day, always remember that the bottom line to a healthy diet is balance. A diet that is higher in fruits and vegetables and less in meats, fats and sugar is a good balanced diet and the egg can be a nutritious and inexpensive part of that diet.
