Girlfriend's distress - tale of two clinics

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
ON MARCH 14 at around 10am, my girlfriend fainted at a coffee shop in Woodlands North Plaza. As fainting could be a symptom of more sinister and life-threatening ailments like internal bleeding or cardiac arrest, she was in need of immediate medical attention.
I rushed to a nearby clinic, Temasek Medical Centre, located on level 1 of Woodlands North Plaza and asked the counter staff, Adeline and Shirley, for help. To my dismay, they did not even bother to inform the doctor on duty, Dr Ng W. L., and said carelessly: 'The doctor today is a temporary doctor, go ask the doctor next door.'
Despite my repeated pleas, they refused to inform the doctor.
I turned to Jireh Family Clinic next door whose staff attitude was a contrast. They promptly contacted the clinic doctor, Dr Lwi, who showed remarkable professionalism in attending to my girlfriend. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Lwi and his staff, whose promptness and professionalism greatly aided her recovery.
As for Temasek Medical Centre, I am dismayed over the clinic staff's attitude. Is this how clinics teach their staff to react in emergencies?
Shouldn't the staff inform the doctor first-hand when faced with patients in critical condition? Where are their medical ethics?

No medical standby at IT show

ON MARCH 12 at around 7.30pm, I went to the 2010 Singapore IT Show at Suntec convention centre with my wife and daughter.
At around 8pm, while we were buying a laptop at one of the stalls, my wife felt giddy and could not stand on her own. Her face turned dark, a sign that the blood was not circulating to the upper part of the body.
With the help of the sales staff from the stall, she sat on a chair while I sought help from the medical or first aid team covering the show. To my surprise, there was no medical or first aid team on standby. When I approached a woman representing the organiser of the event, she said the medical or first aid team would be in place only at the weekend but not that day, which was a Friday.
My question is: At an event attended by thousands of people at any given time over a four-day period, why did the organiser not have a medical or first aid team on standby on all days to attend to any medical emergency?
Notwithstanding this, I wish to thank the security guard from Suntec who helped us use a shorter and less crowded way to get to the ground floor, to take a taxi to a clinic for treatment.

simple.. no law/regulations that force the organisers to do this.. also if they were to do that, who's going to shoulder the costs?

what happened to her wife? maybe she has some medical history... or pregnant...

It's obvious it's not a life threatening case that even nurse or paramedic could confidently determine that it's not.

More funny, why aren't the police and army there?
