Article: St. Vincent Medical Center
You’ve heard lots about St. Vincent Medical Center, where my bilateral Acoustic Neuromas were removed. Here are some pictures of the hospital, founded by the Daughters Of Charity.
St. Vincent Medical Center
My Mom!
Hospital parking entrance from across the street.
Hospital Lobby and admissions office.
My ward. Less than a week after surgery, I was playing with my camera already. Hehe….
The hospital gift shop, the only source of amusement in the hospital.
At the cafeteria, there is a wall where photographs of Vincentian Award recipients are displayed. The one in the center is St. vincent De Paul.
Mommy at the hospital cafeteria’s salad bar. There are also soup and spaghetti.
Where the main dish is served. There is rice everyday. Side dishes varies from mash potatoes, chicken, fish, vegetable, to eggs.
Coffee or tea?
The hospital has a chapel called “Chapel Of The Sacred Hearts”
Outside the lift at every floor is a statue of a…. SAINT?
I wonder who’s this one.
This cabinet is where the hospital history is displayed, including photographs from early days.
Sister Fidelis Klein, the founder of St. Vincent Medical Center.
Seton Gues Center, where outstation patients and their family members stay in rented rooms before and after surgery.
Please excuse me. I’m terrible at snapping pictures under low lighting.

Thanks for the mini tour Yvonne
so thats’ the gift shop that gives me the run around lol
wow! i didn’t know there is a st vincent medical centre there. mighty impressive the place!
i am a long time member of the society of st vincent de paul in our own country. the society is very international. see our malaysian homepage of the society here (http://www.myparish.net/svp)… though it is not updated. (handled by those in KL).
the statue there which you guess is it st vincent, not it isn’t. you can see st vincent’s face at the vincentian spirit awards picutre – he is the one right in the centre (the biggger pic). the society was not started by him but by a young man named frederic ozanam. it was name under his patronage since he is the patron of the poor.
Great pictures! Thanks for sharing.
Wishing you well and all the best for your ABI activation and return home!!!
Hugs, Jamie

Hi Yvonne! My name is esther and i get to know you through your column in Yellowpost, and your experience and attitude inspired me. I am currently a journalist attached with a chinese daily, and mainly write story on Feature & Health. Just wonder are you willing to share your personal experience and something related to the disease to increase the public awareness on the disease. I believe your sharing would motivate many patients. I can be reached at 012-3986188 or esther821@chinapress.com.my or esther821@gmail.com. Look forward to meet up with you …if you are willing to share with the public.
Thanks and take good care of yourself!
Hi Yvonne,
I don’t know if you remember me, but a few years back I suggested that you talk to Dr. Friedman at House. I am so happy that he has taken good care of you. Boy, your pictures brought back memories….I had surgery at House almost 3 years ago. Unfortunately, my ABI did not work for me. However, my brother got one in February and it is working splendidly for him. I pray that yours will work well. At any rate, I enjoy checking in on your Blog periodically to see how you are doing. Please take care and have a safe trip home.

You are doing a wonderful thing here on the Internet. I wish you the very best. Kindest regards.
[...] And I still believe that the best thing we can do for people and for God is through service, serving people. Like the hospital I go to, St. Vincent Medical Center,I blogged about it here. [...]
