The grandfather is in hospital. Critical condition. Stroke. Wanna hear the "best part"?
He's not in the ICU. Why you might ask? Oh, because he's already 81. If in ICU, the doctors will resuscitate but not in the ward. So given his old age, they wont put him in the ICU.
Doctor: If the patient is 16 yrs old, we'll put him in the ICU cause chances of recovery very high. But because he's old, the mortality rate is high.
Brilliant lah Doctor. Very good ah... So thats how it works. If patient is old, do not treat patient aggressively. Let him die. Well done Doc! *pats back*
*&^$#%&* I know he's in critical condition and I'm actually prepared to see him go. But not like this. Not when he is treated so unfairly. Not when the doctors are not putting in their best effort. Why cant he have access to the so called "world class health services"? Bloody doctor. If its his own father, I tell you... he'll probably be ordering all kind of tests and administering all kinds of expensive drugs. *^*&%^$
If he does make it through the night, I hope Angah can come soon. Wanna know a sad fact? You'll get "special treatment" if you have relatives who are doctors. Seriously, the last time my grandfather got admitted, the specialists were discussing his case and we over heard them say...
Specialist : Patient is 80 yrs old. Suffering from....... Granddaughter is a doctor.
So? So if no doctors in the family, its green light for you to slack is it? Aiyoh, what the hell lah. That goes to show the only reason you guys are putting in effort is because if you guys do make mistakes, we will know.
Oh man. Im so pissed. Im so bloody pissed. There's only one thing to say..
First class facilities + Third class brains/attitude = Third class hospital
*puik*
