Ashley Chan Review of NUH
Reach Children A&E at about 2am. See doctor around...
Reach Children A&E at about 2am. See doctor around 3++am. 2am - son was having fever of 38.4
Doctor recommended hospitalization at 3++ going to 4am. Went for X-ray. Stay in observation ward. Told doctor around 4.15am would prefer to go home to monitor rather than hospitalization. Doctor explains and advice accordingly and I accepted. Doctor wants to moniter son till 6am for oxygen level before sending home at my own accord, which at that point of time it was 4.41am.
Son start to be cranky at about 6.15am.. Ask this nurse by the name of Azina in the A&E ward is there any medication for my son as he's having fever..
Her answer: wait for awhile, the doctor is with a patient.
Me: I think my son can't wait. He's shivering
Her: I'll ask the doctor in a short while, she's with patient!
Me: I think you can walk to her door and check with her, right?
- the nurse walked to the doctor's room door, look at me and said,
Her: she on the stethoscope...
Spoke to the doctor:
Her: she's is shouting for medicines!
**excuse me, I did not shout for medicine, I ask you if there was but you twisted my words.
Azina, I do not know if you are a mother. Can you feel the pain, when you son is felt hot, vomited and crying? If you are tired, you should rest, not bearing the tirednes and twisted my words to the doctor! You are in a professional line, you need to be responsible for what you said!
NUH is a place where my new life begins, my son stayed in nuh for more than 100 days, I met lovely nurses and doctors! Today is my worst day in nuh! Really disappointed for your, Azina's action!
By the way doctor, my son was having fever when we came in to you. Yes! I rejected to be hospitalized doesn't mean treatment only start when my son admmited to the hospital right? How can you be irresponsible by telling me you want to admmited my son to start treatment? Means no admmission, no treatment? If that's the case why make me pay for A&E fee??
