I am having a fever since yesterday...I was feeling bad, as I am suppose to meet dear dear today. But due to the illness, I think I could only rest at home le...cos tomorrow I am working. I do not wish to take MC tomorrow cos I do not want my colleagues who are on New Year leave to be called back:)
My father is not in very good health. He has high blood pressure and abit of kdney failure. Lately, he found one massage machine called the "Iodea" which the distributer claimed that it could cure his sickness. The machine costed around S$10 000. My father was pursuaded to buy the machine and he was very keen on it.
As the machine costed a bomb, I went to the OSIM to make a check, cos even the highest grading OSIM massage chair does not cost that much. The staff from OSIM told my mother and myself that he does not recommend any patient of kidney failure to purchase any massage device cos it would actually made the kidney work even harder. Resulting in kidney overwork.
My mother and I told my father about it but he refused to listen. Today the distributor of the "Iodea" delivered the machine to my house. I asked him whether the machine come with any warranty or certificate. He was unable give any certificate, he could only said that they had registated the machine with HSA (Health Science Authority), however it had not been approved yet.
I tried to pursuade my father one last time, he refused to listen. In the end, he bought the machine for around S$7 500 for a machine that he did not research on.
I was abit upset with his decision.
Dear dear just called me. I could feel that she was not in a very good mood.....maybe it was because we had not meet each other for a long time ba.....
Hopefully I can recover soon:)

From my point of view, I feel that you cannot really blame your dad as what he's buying is a HOPE.
He wishes to get well and that's why he is willing to fork out this much of money. It's of no difference to the people out there, who have been spending hundreds on TOTO, 4D, etc just on HOPE every week.
What you can do right now as a son, is to bring your dad to consult a doctor. Let the doctor convince him that massage machine could probably worsen his condition.
Let him understand that your intention is good and also, both you and your mum care and worry for him.
Hell lots of patience is needed here.
It just takes time.
Side track a little, get well soon. =)
