30th Anniversary of Leong Chest Clinic

Leong Chest Clinic began operation in 1991 at 178 Jalan Pasir Puteh, 31650 Ipoh. At that time, I had a choice of either locating the practice at Jalan Leong Sin Nam or Pasir Puteh Road.  I decided to take Pasir Puteh Road as the shophouse at Jalan Leong Sin Nam was already rented out to a fellow colleague.  

I had been in public medical service for 10 years and my last post was as head of the Chest Unit in Ipoh General Hospital (Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun, Ipoh).  I am indeed very proud of my 10 years of service in the public sector as it gave me a very rich experience in serving the needy.  I also had a great time teaching the young doctors and nurses. 

Pictures are from a video taken during the opening ceremony.  

We had a gala time with family friends. The food was from the First Restaurant, our usual food caterer.  Sad to say some of these dear friends are no longer with us.  One advice to everyone is to take photos of people and places at every opportunity as these photos will bring back sweet memories of days gone by.   

 A big thank you to all for the flowers and well wishes.  

Defining Oneself

Today I have decided to change the title of this blog to TO BE. I hope to be more refined in my blog posts to cover areas like Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. 

I should be writing on ways to become a better person, a successful person and a more caring person.  Hope these writings will benefit so young people. 

Defining oneself with a vision and a mission and that is having a Purpose in Life.  As for a Christian like myself the purpose in life is to become Christ like.  Not easy at all but attainable with the help of the Holy Spirit.  

TeleHealth at Leong Chest Clinic

Created this new video explaining some advantages on using TeleHealth during the COVID Pandemic period.  TeleHealth will also be useful for busy or house bound patients, especially those who are on home oxygen and have difficulty travelling.  

TeleHealth is affordable and easily set up.  Of course, it will not be better than an in-person clinic consultation but it can definitely help answer a lot of questions from a patient or care giver regarding various medical conditions.  

Try out TeleHealth today and find out how convenient it is to use the service.
