I have a story to tell.. I reli cannot keep this in me anymore.. Be forewarned it might be related to those already dead especially to those still very much alive, although I swear I myself could have died of a heart attack during this fiasco!!!
Someone I knew went to Tampines Poly(We shall call her MTT). She was confirmed as pregnant. So the DR asked her where she would like to have her antenatals? She said KK. The Dr said. No, you dun understand, Where do you wanna go? So MTT said KK lah .. the Dr said, I can't give u a referral letter when there is nothing wrong with your pregnancy.SO MTT said, but my previous 2 kids were at KK for their antenatals. The Dr asked what was wrong with your pregnancy then? MTT was frustrated already at this point. Nothing was wrong. Both absolutely normal!Dr even said if u insist so much, you go make your own appt at KK lah, which will defits the purpose of getting a referral letter from Poly to enjoy the subsidised rates from KK.
Cut the story, Dr still refused to give MMT referral letter to KK. So the next day MTT called the Senior Nurse Manager(SNM), she say oh ok .. I will check with the Dr and revert to you.When SNM did call WTT back she said, we cannot give u a referral letter unless there is abnormality with your pregnancy. But if you insist, we will give you, BUT KK will charge u under privatised rates of A class wards!
When MTT related all this to me, I was so angry! They have caused MTT undue stress and also misleading the patients. So I called SNM myself and checked with her what was happening. She said, we can only refer to KK if there is abnormality. Other than that antenatal will be at Poly till about 32 weeks then we refer you to Poly. So I said, why is it other Polys can do it, you can't?It's up to the patient to choose where she wants her antenatal check ups to be not you!
Cutting story short again, THIS IS THE BEST PART OF THE STORY!!! I asked her why your Tampines poly different procedure huh? SNM claims oh mebbe there is a change in procedure and we are not updated. I went, Huh?? What do you mean?
She calmly explained to me the following:
she said in the past PM is Goh Chok Tong..now is Lee Hsien Loong so mebbe change procedure.. !!!!
This got me!! I said What the f*** has changing of PM got to do with poly procedure siak??!!FINE! If u say so, my first child is Goh Chok Tong one(metaphorically speaking hor!!).. my second child is Lee Hsien Loong one!! why still same procedure only yours diff??? Anyways, Lee Hsien Loong is the one ask us to give birth more what!! why the HELL would he make the procedure more difficult for us??
I shall end my story here. Now I know why m2 always grumble about the stupidity of these people!! How absurd can her reasoning be man??!!!!There are lots of others ridiculous answers she gave to my questions. I just dun have the energy to jot all down. Just talking to her depleted me of all my energy. I wonder if this is the standard level of the healthcare personnel employed by Singhealth? Bad, very very bad... a disgrace to the organization I dare say.
Kalau hari hari aku kena ngadap org gini, BP sure go storming high siak!!And for now, I am really dumbfounded at the discovery of such people in our healthcare society. Man! try to imagine them diagnosing you with some life threatening disease. "Oh becos we have just changed PM, your illness is now considered as critical and you will die soon.We will support this death by giving you all the medications you dun need!!" Sekali turn out u only got flu and they gave u cancer medicines eh?? Goodness I can't imagine if tat were to really happen! Gawat!!!!
