This is the real truth, my 95yrs old mum was at TTSH last Saturday at noon A&E ward for chest pain. She had gone through a series of Blood Test, ECG, X-Ray that ended at 10pm and Doctor suspected phlegm choking, high blood pressure and maybe throat infection was asked to be warded for further observation.
This waiting game goes on at the Observation ward (A&E) pending B2 bed availability till about 5am when my sister demanded that since no B2 ward bed is available then we want to discharge my mum and SUDDENLY, THERE IS BED AVAILABLE…..!
She was bedded at 5.30am in B2 ward……..!
The number of patients waiting to be warded is more than 30 at any one time due to NO BED, pending CPF/Cash Deposit or awaiting using sibling’s CPF Medisave as guarantor.
Our Govt is nothing but a LIAR when it comes to Health matters, despite what PM Mai Hum had said in NDR that DO NOT WORRY ABOUT FINANCIAL MATTER, JUST GET ADMITTED AND GET CURE AND WE WILL SORT OUT LATER THE FINANCIAL MATTER IS NOTHING BUT bullshit…..!
As long as nobody sign for the Deposit personally or using someone else as guarantor, you be left at the observation ward in A&E for the longest time in your life UNLESS ITS A LIFE THREATENING CASE….!
