Berkhatan

Today we were at the Al-Islam Medical Centre (previously called, Kampung Baru Medical Centre). The reason we were there was the circumcision of my youngest son. After checking around, we decided to come here based on a recommendation from a friend who had all her 3 sons done there.

After a nasi lemak breakfast, we headed to Kampung Baru with the Kampung Baru mosque being the landmark. The hospital is directly opposite the Masjid.

After registration and a slight wait, exactly at 11am as per our appointment, we were ushered into the operating theater. All in all, the whole process took just under 30 mins and as it's just an outpatient treatment, we were on our way home.

Key point about the treament, there's a choice of local or general anaesthetic. We opted for local as I don't think it's a major procedure and avoid all the complicatin of general anaesthetic. The hospital uses 'laser' for the procedure. Before any image of light saber enters your mind, it's more like a cauterizer.
