As soon as we found out that the MIBG Scan (if performed in private hospital) is likely to be covered under the insurance plan from Papa's workplace. We've co-ordinated with QMH to make a referral for Adrian to do the Scan at HK Sanatorium & Hospital (HKSH). Though the appointment has been made on Jun 8th, Mama made a trip to HKSH today to arrange for payment and registration. The hospital looks VERY nice when compared to public hospital like QMH. The reception area in the Nuclear Medicine Department (where the MIBG will take place) is like an airport lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Happy Valley Racecourse. However, the staff in the reception area are purely admin staff that they have no ideas about the drugs/procedures such as fasting requirements regarding the Scan. We will be back in the morning on June 8th to see the doctor and the Scan will commence in the afternoon the same day.
