Our health care system is broken

Dear Mr Tan

A friend’s mum was scheduled for a surgery in one of the government hospital. Everyone in the family reschedule their appointment to accommodate this important date.

To their dismay upon arriving at the hospital the nurse told them that there would not be any surgery as there was no doctor for surgery... she was rescheduled to a much later date in March....

While she was there the doctor also didn’t bother to at least change her wound which was swollen in red... the observation is the doctors and nurses are all inexperience and very young. Of course majority of the nurses are from the 3rd world countries...

2 different foreign dotors at polychlinic could not see a hair line fracture on my toes. Assured me nothing wrong, just toake pain killer. Unsatisfied with third finding, I went straight to A&E. THE foreign Senoir Consultant found out that it really has a hair line fracture. Very bad experience!!!
Also, the time for appointment at polychlinic is too long.
