"A Grandfather Story" on Leong Sin Nam

Thank you for your continuing interest in this book.  This book is out of stock since 2011.  However you will still be able to read this book in the National Library and Perak State Library.  An account of the Life and Times of Leong Sin Nam is also available in the Wikipedia.  The second edition of this book is forthcoming and will include more details revealed recently.  I am currently writing a manual titled "Breathing Better Together".

Spirography

Used this set to draw beautiful spirographs when I was a teenager.  Still remember how many times I have to trace the patterns before getting them right.  There were 4 colour pens.  Nowadays these circular patterns can easily be created using a computer software like Draw plus.  I don't think these kind of art tools are available on sale anymore.

Modified Borg Dypnea Scale

 

Took 2 hours to produce this Scale.  Couldn't find the correct combination of words and pictures in the web to make it easier for patients to indicate their level of breathlessness during stress testing.  Will also be using it for the 6 minute walk test. 

 

 

Patient Instructions for Borg Dyspnoea Scale 

“This is a scale that asks you to rate the difficulty of your breathing. It starts at number 0 where your breathing is causing you no difficulty at all and progresses through to number 10 where your breathing difficulty is maximal. How much difficulty is your breathing causing you right now?”
