During my stay in Kuala Lumpur, I was the victim of a robbery. One of the assailants struck my head with a helmet, which led to my admission to Sunway Hospital. A neurosurgeon there reviewed an MRI and diagnosed me with a brain bleed. I was presented with two treatment options: undergoing brain surgery or taking a course of specialized medication, which cost approximately RM 10,000. I opted for the medication.
My total hospitalization expenses exceeded RM 17,000. Following my discharge, I returned to my hometown. One morning, I woke up to discover I had lost my ability to speak. Fearing this might be permanent, I was deeply distressed. My father immediately took me to see a neurologist at Nan Hua Hospital in Penang.
After an examination, the neurologist prescribed a different course of medication and explained that the initial treatment I had received at Sunway Hospital had been incorrect. Thankfully, within a few days of starting the new medication, my speech returned. However, I have been left with a lasting sense of anxiety when speaking in front of groups or crowds.
