5035. VET CASE. Emergency. A terrapin vomited pellets and had respiratory distress at the mother-in-law's place.

VET CASE. Emergency. A terrapin vomited pellets and had respiratory distress at the mother-in-law's place.

 

 30 Dec 2023. This 2-year-old terrapin appeared to be looking up the window to "see" whether his master is flying home.

VET CASE. Emergency. A terrapin vomited pellets and had respiratory distress at the mother-in-law's place. Tele-consultation by Dr Sing Kong Yuen.

The terrapin vomited and had respiratory distress after he was brought to the mother-in-law's place for boarding while his owners go overseas on holiday.

The owner phoned me as the exotic vet at a big emergency practice was not available. He had been to Toa Payoh Vets before but it was closed.

It is a long tele-consultation story as we discussed his case.

Two days later, this photo from his mother-in-law and a video showed that the terrapin was back to normal.

The mother-in-law's photo showed that the terrapin appeared to be looking for his master's aircraft from overseas as he was much concerned about the terrapin.

"It is an award-winning photo," I texted the owner.

5033. FOUR MAJOR CHALLENGES for Singapore. Climate change.

 S T 2 Sep 2022 A17

Singapore must maintain the drive to innovate amid challenges: SM Teo

Four major challenges:
1. Geopolitics
2. Climate change
3. Technology
4. Changes to its society

A diverse population that can build a cohesive and strong society like Singapore. Political stability and continuity in policy and execution. Many countries think to the next general election only.

CLIMATE CHANGE.
Singapore committed to et-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

(Going green) is the right thing to do for future generations.

But certain solutions possible only if planned well ahead and executed in advance. 


5032. MEDICAL. Cataract surgery in private sector Singapore

 29 Dec 2023:

A 72-year-old retiree had a free eye check up at his church by Eagle Eye's Dr Wesley Chong. 
He said now that his right eye is very good as he can see clearly.
No pain during cataract surgery but medication in the eye took over 2 hours to go away.
He can see far and will need reading glasses.
He didn't want the bifocal lens as it will cost more and has some complications.

Total costs around S$7,500
Less doctor's discount $1,000
Less Medisave deduction $2,500
He paid around $4,000.
Outcome: Excellent. He is very pleased with the outcome.

In 2024, he will get the cataract done by the government hospital.


5031. PHOTOGRAPHY OF RED POINSETTIAS ON AN OVERCAST SKY. Use tripod

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS: A bushy poinsettia tree. Use tripod, AV mode. Focus on lower trunk.

A rare sighting of a bushy poinsettia tree in a house garden in Western Australia. Why?

Canon R5, 101mm, 1/160 sec, f/6.3, ISO 100. Use tripod.

9 Sep 2024. 9am

I stayed in this airbnb house in Coogee, Western Australia. The poinsettia tree is a rare sighting in house gardens in WA. A probable reason is that it is hard to maintain. On closer look, the leaves have been attacked by fungus causing white spots and brown leaf rot.

5030. Filial piety.



Video of sunset in Midwinter Restaurant, Khao Yai, Thailand taken by T T Wong.
Script by Dr Sing Kong Yuen. 28 Dec 2023.

 

What is filial piety? 

 

Filial piety has many aspects.  One aspect is to repay the burden borne by one's parents by reciprocating the care one's parents have given. 

 

 Sunset in Midwinter Restaurant in Khao Yai in Thailand. Seniors with children there are blessed as many don't enjoy the fruits of their labour during their sunset years. Bringing up children is time-consuming. For Seniors who devote time in upbringing, their sunset years are golden.
