Dad May Be Discharged Soon

Being a government servant or civil employee in a school as a teacher, dad is entitled to free treatment in the General Hospital after a fall in the toilet. Days later, he had a clot in the brain and was promptly sent to the GH for treatment. Well, they did nothing to dad other than give him food and check him. No angiogram which was scheduled for the day and it was cancelled last minute due to lack of manpower. Imagine only 2 male nurses on duty for the whole ward of 40 male patients. That is why they bypass my dad and served their own kind, the Malay chap.

After 5 days of no angiogram and dad was almost lifeless, refusing to eat and soaked in his urine without bath for 3 days, youngest sister suggested St John’s ambulance which we paid $150 to transfer him to a private hospital and he was immediately attended to after I paid the deposit of $6k. He went into the Accident and Emergency ward and they cleaned his wound, put on drips, etc. Such is the excellent service when you go to the private hospital with money. Frankly, dad might not have survived up to today if he had continued staying in GH, and luckily my sister made the decision to send him to a private hospital, where the bills are split by 3 of us!
