I seldom post too personal things about myself, but decided to post this time to shed some light about SG healthcare and risks as a Cabin Crew.
I had a bad on board accident, a passenger whacked the bag in from behind me while I was helping with the bag stowage. Her bag dragged my right hand into the overhead compartment, trapping my hand under her bag, and I was lifted off the ground as I was pulled upwards and inwards. All surrounding passengers who saw what happened were shocked to see my body dangling with my right hand trapped between the bag and the overhead compartment.
I screamed and cried immediately.
But the tall lady at 34D (if I didn’t remember wrongly) who caused this injury happily sat down without a tad of guilt. I thought I only injured my hand and wrist so I did cold compress and rested for the first meal service.
After I landed, I went to CGH and saw an orthopedic who refused to listen to my story — he said, “I know every crew’s problem”, “all same problem la”, etc, and proceeded to inject 2 big steroid jabs on my shoulder. I felt better almost immediately and after 2 months of MC, I was back to flying. I didn’t know how bad things can be and I trusted that doctor will know what’s best for me.
But because of this incompetent doctor who did not do any single check for me, not even an x-ray, my medical report looks like a minor accident, and my workman compensation was a negligible $6k.
she should sue CGH until their pants drop
