A question of communication
Official replies must enlighten and not obfuscate

I AM dismayed by Singapore General Hospital's (SGH) opaque reply ('Sorry, says SGH'; July 10), to Ms Chong Shiau Wei's complaint ('Baffled by SGH doctor's refusal to see her'; July 10) about the unprofessional way she was attended to by a hospital doctor.
After a detailed account of her unpleasant experience, the least SGH could have done was to demonstrate some empathy and sincere regret over the poor service given.
The hospital's three-sentence reply read like a computer-generated response to a routine service complaint. Such impersonal handling of complaints raises questions about the quality of dedication and care for its patients. In a respected but demanding profession like medicine, where patient care is a primary concern, it is imperative that hospital staff go the extra mile to show empathy, compassion and concern for their patients' well-being.
Clearly, the 'commitment' SGH promised in its inadequate reply is missing.

-how do you plan to do that?
-how are we assured the culprit doctor will not do the same thing again? Was he taken to task? Was he counselled?

The professor's reply shld at the very least answered all of these questions. I think the professor seriously needs to improve his service too.

And boy boy grudgingly reply "Sorry loh". Don't you think the professor's reply is like that?

No. Not fair to say that. These civil serpents are smart people who can hide in these places and still get an salary doing nothing.

Morons will not understand that strategy.
