Chitchat A 3rd world hospital experience.

This doctor was already quite kind. He could have told her "I'm sorry but we tried our best" after a few minutes, and she could do nothing about it. :cool:

The problem lies with the sequence of events.

After pap changes the health statement to eg. You die your business or
No money no talk etc

Then the loctor can swiftly tells the patient this.
Then the patient decides and do what they need to do.
 
Main question: Is your father's situation (which could have been avoided in the first place if not for his stupidity) due to those PCB garbage zhams he voluntarily jabbed in the first place? Nevermind perhaps you should contact Roland Tay for early bird discount.
 
Got Medishield, still cost $100k?
Not every services are covered by medishield or even pte insurance.

Sharing something that many people may not be aware of.

When a patient leequires say a valve leeplacement.
There are 2 methods for this procedure.
1. Open surgery
2. TAVI

Medishield and pte insurance only covers the invasive Open surgery

TAVI is minimally invasive.

This is Leegardless of the patient age and morbidity.

It means, even if you cannot survive a open surgery, pap wants you to do it in order to be covered. Pap and pte insurance say TAVI is a luxury, and optional.

A TAVI in sg cost at least $40k sgd in cash for a ter valve + $x for the surgery fee. Medishield and pte insurance only covers the surgery fee.

TAVI, or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, is a minimally invasive procedure used to replace a narrowed aortic valve (aortic stenosis) without open-heart surgery. A catheter-based approach delivers a new, collapsible valve to the heart, where it's expanded to take over the function of the diseased valve.

Or the doctor might say: 'If there is no budget, there is nothing to discuss. Next!

Is this woman among the 66% group?

Just like TV, if it doesn't work, just knock on the head a couple of times to see if father can recover.
 
Fact of life in Singapore. No need to be upset.
I will be more willing to accept this as a fact of life in sg after pap changes it's health care nission statement from first world to 3rd. Eg you die your business etc.

After that it will become acceptable and life moves on.

And it's something very reasonable for me to ask for.
Im not asking them to give free or cheap medical services.
I'm merely telling them they can leave it status quo, but they need to change the statement first to match it.
We can't possibly be accepting something that doesn't match, right?

Frankly speaking, it's all around the world, not juz Sg.
Who pays for all meds? Doc's salaries, hospital equipments and maintenance?
All is tax payers money. It may sound callous but it's a fact of life.

Lots of gov structure and system have been dysfunctional underneath for a long time already. Esp the gov healthcare if you been following for the last decade or so. Below cases are fully preventable as long as protocols are being followed. Btw her case occurred in public healthcare? Coz I don't have the full picture.

Another thing. The moment when this island hit 10 million. You just need another pandemic like SARS. The end results will be deathly. COVID itself typically is not deathly. When you compare COVID vs SARS. Low transmission = High mortality. High Transmission = low mortality.
