Hospital Problem
I used to choose hospitals over clinics during the times when I was very much younger. But my experience in the hospital recently was just far too much to be patient about. I never like making people wait and I certainly don't like to wait myself. You see, if it was for and hour or two I understand as it is a semi-government hospital therefore there is too many patients to handle. I went to the hospital because my grandmother felt weak all of a sudden and it started three days back. We took the number which was 1054 and the current number shown was 1053. So logically there was only that one person to come out of the room for us to go in, but we waited for three hours to go in and give the blood and urine to test, just to come out again and wait for another five hours for the blood and urine diagnosis. I mean imagine if the patient can't take it anymore and they categorized the patient in normal instead of emergency. I understand emergency patients should be attended to first but what about senior citizens? Are they supposed to wait without eating and they didn't even let us know on how much longer it will take till our turn that when we finally decide to go get dinner the shops in the cafeteria was all mostly closed. How annoying. For your information my grandmother is a diabetic patient who is under the insulin medication. What if, she didn't bring her insulin along thinking that the hospital checkup would be quick? What happens then? Will they take the responsibility for anything that might happen to anyone in a crisis situation. A word of advice to all hospitals out there, don't keep one doctor to treat all patients! Instead have more doctors to treat different categories. For example, Emergency patients probably should have around two to three doctors and for senior citizens maybe another two doctors. And then for people who are not in the category of emergency and senior citizens maybe have another one doctor and hopefully they can act quick! People can't be waiting in the hospital for hours as we have other things to do! I am very disappointed and mad about this incident. The best part is that I had flu when I went there and it wasn't that bad until I waited that long and now I'm suffering from asthma and flu at the same time. So thanks alot hospital you made more people sick than curing them!
