Fucking OYK. Median wait time for admission to hospital wards has gone up to 7.2 hours

The unspoken reverse side of the coin is that average time to your demise once you are in a govt hospital has now shortened.

Let's say you are very old and dying. The hospital will try to discharge you when you show the smallest sign of improvement, so that you can die peacefully in the comfort of your home.

Discharge? More like encourage you to go to a hospice or label you as a 'do not resuscitate' patient.

DNS instructions given only by families, caregiver or patient when he/she was in a clear mind.

These days, they really intentionally discharge people to die at home when there's slightest sign of improvement, even without telling you that there's no hope.

It's the hope which kills you.

If we probe deeper, I bet they still have this fucked up system whereby they put u on a bed....in the middle of a walkway with no ward available. And they consider that as 'admitted'. lol

This is what happenes when you have a health minister who is focused on covering problems and boosting KPI to secure the PM job

yes, if you are lucky, you are along TTSH's ward corridor
otherwise, you are along A&E corridor
both considered warded if they decide to ward you, otherwise in A&E is under observation.

PS: please remember to award for at least half a day so that you can claim medishield hospitalization. Technicaly 8 hours, but 12 hours to be safe.

The time you enter the A&E triage and waiting, no count.
Must start counting when you are "warded"

This was OYK at his prime when the PM race was on full swing and he was desperate to be selected as the next PM. He was trying to rely on some celebrity magic dust to boost his chances

Vaccines?

This clown actually made Cow Boon Wan look like a genius

Minister for Health (2004–2011)Edit​

Khaw was noted for his role in handling the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) scandal, and made Gerard Ee the new Chairman of the NKF following the resignation of T. T. Durai. Responding to a report by international auditing firm KPMG in Parliament in December 2005, Khaw vowed to punish all wrongdoers in the saga and heavily criticised NKF's "bizarre HR policies".[18]

In a parliamentary speech on 9 February 2009, in the context of tackling the rising healthcare costs, Khaw suggested that Singaporeans can consider sending their elderly parents to nursing homes in Johor Bahruin Malaysia, which is a developing country located close to Singapore.[19][20][21] This was quoted by news reports and a public outcry ensued. Khaw subsequently clarified that his statement was quoted out of context by the media and his suggestion was only one of the many choices available to Singaporeans.[22]

In 2010, Khaw wrote on his blog explaining that his heart bypass surgery had only cost him a mere $8 (SGD) in cash in a class A ward, as the rest of the cost was offset by payments combined from his universal Medishield account and private insurance. This sparked off a debate in the public sphere, with many questioning if an ordinary Singaporean had the means to pay for such high insurance premiums as he did in the first place.[23] Members of the pro-PAP group, Silent No More, defended Khaw's claim and encouraged one another to rebut Internet users who had made jibes at Khaw.[24]

The problem is that the health minister is not a doctor pretending to know everything about medical issues.

 

[firehyrant]

overpopulation overcrowding in a small island and infrastructure can't cope
those who voted pap ask for this current state of our hospitals

 

[mojito]

Good wat. That means we seeing more patients meaning more profit$. That is how we make health care affordable.

 

[ODACHEK]

OYK is forcing people to use HeathierSG thus the long wait?

 

[A Singaporean]

This is an appeal to all low ses Sinkies. Please do not go to any hospital to seek treatment. Our beloved foreigners are complaining that they are waiting too long to see a doctor. You are making them feel less welcome in Sickipoora. So poor Sinkies please fuck off and try self medication.
