I dont deny that there are some who take their profession seriously but these are the exceptions. <BR/>My brother was in a similar situation a year ago. It was UH again and they refused to attend to him until we came. That too after my dad paid the initial payment. They sent him back after a CT scan saying nothing was wrong, and he had minor bruises only.<BR/>The poor boy couldnt even move his head. We brought him home, and he collapsed. We then rushed him to a private hospital in PJ, and guess what. They found that he had a hairline fracture of his skull, two fractured ribs and fractured clavicle (collarbone).<BR/>We consulted a lawyer (one who specialized in such cases) and all he had to say was, "You cant win. The people at the higher places will make sure that you dont." He further cited many examples of negligence cases brought against hospitals which failed.<BR/>This is the reality of things. Those who cant afford private medical treatment are at the mercy of these people. They hide behind statements such as 'isolated case' and 'We did all that we could, it was uncommon'<BR/><BR/>http://thestar.com.my/news/<BR/>story.asp?<BR/>file=/2006/6/15/nation/14547014&sec=nationAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1150423806528169102006-06-16T10:10:00.000+08:002006-06-16T10:10:00.000+08:00The sticky sweet stuff- maybe their excuse is: we ...The sticky sweet stuff- maybe their excuse is: we are helping preserving traditional customs and cuisine mah, sure have the kuih muih.. and also helping support local cottage industry blah blah blah...<BR/><BR/>Just like MPPJ, city indeed. hurpmh..Cuddly Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03971741494801319495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1150401264938803752006-06-16T03:54:00.000+08:002006-06-16T03:54:00.000+08:00Cynthia,I have experienced the same treatment too ...Cynthia,<BR/>I have experienced the same treatment too but at HUKM when i rushed a friend of mine who had muscle-spasm, not sure what it's officialy called but he frozed up(basically every muscle in his body just stops expanding). He curled up like a corpse! I speed into the Emergency ward of HUKM and guess what?<BR/><BR/>The fat police man sitting at the desk was just sitting there while I shouted on top of my lungs while i help my friend out of the car. <BR/><BR/>He stood up and look 'puzzled'.<BR/><BR/>I ran into the ward and shouted for help, luckily a kind indian med was there, he roll out a ... <BR/><BR/>wheel-chair.<BR/><BR/>We made do with it but it was sure hard as hell trying to put a curled up 20+ man onto a wheel-chair!<BR/><BR/>that's not the end of it.

It's government issue lemonade. Sugar and coloring. No lemon.<BR/>Cynthia, what you described is not only disgusting but scary. I hope that the parents took their case to the highest authority and didn't let it just slip under the carpet. Tell us more, Cynthia.<BR/><BR/>kk, you got it wrong. Our flers don't need to consume sugar to sweet talk. In fact they got so much inside them they should be producing sugar for the overseas market where the price is so good.<BR/>Ummi, if anything I have said or written has helped in any small way in making you more aware I am very happy.

This is what it looks like during most meetings.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, now I know where all that sugar is going. To solve the shortage, we should start by cutting off supply in all government offices, The Star and NST. <BR/><BR/>Then we'll probably be spared of the sugar-coated crap that is dished out immediately after a hike: "We have some of the cheapest sugar/oil/electricity/water in the world.

Some passer-bys found him and sent him to University Hospital. They refused to treat him as there was no identification found on him - possibly stolen as his wallet etc wasnt on him. After being threatened by the kind Samaritans, the staff finally took him in. My mum who is an ex-nurse was visiting him today. She came back horrified and disgusted at what she saw at the hospital.<BR/>1. The young nurse pushed and shoved the poor boy to get his stomach measured. He is under an induced coma as his livers and pancreas have been punctured. My mum had to ask my brother to help the nurse tilt the boy. And all this while his BP and heart rate became very unstable.<BR/><BR/>2. It was 11.45am and they saw loads of food laden tray being taken into the ICU. Apparently for the staff. So now the staff are also on the food list?<BR/><BR/>3. Despite the parents and friends of the boy visiting him for the past 4 days, today a nurse approached the mother asking questions of who is his employer, when he came to Malaysia etc. Bewildered, the mother explained he is a student and was born in the very same hospital. She (fortunately for her) produced her own hospital card as proof. The hospital had admitted the boy as an Indian national! <BR/><BR/>I am utterly disgusted at this. Whatever happened to professionalisme? <BR/><BR/>To Ummi: Good on you that you've begun to be aware of the many crap that has and still is happening. I find that the main problem with Malaysians is our tidak-apa attitude.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1150364215026708942006-06-15T17:36:00.000+08:002006-06-15T17:36:00.000+08:00Hey Patrick,Look at the positive side, if sugar pr...Hey Patrick,<BR/>Look at the positive side, if sugar price goes up, our half-past-six ministers will consume less sugar then they will be less sweet talking to rakyat!:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1150360340154790852006-06-15T16:32:00.000+08:002006-06-15T16:32:00.000+08:00all these talk about changing our lifestyle...why ...all these talk about changing our lifestyle...why don't those clowns in government change their lifestyle first.....give up part of their salary to the less fortunate....cycle to work instead of having a driver to drive them places...to work etc....and just because the DPM's wife loves anything to do with hindi movies, now we are even so buddy buddy with India...all of a sudden.....soon our government will be running the country like in the hindi movies.....and please also change the way their VIP's travel on the road.....minus all the outriders and siren to ask motorists to get out of their way whenever they came our way...too much....they were elected by us so does that make them more important that we have to give them the right of way.....tolong sikit...kita pun bayar road tax tau....so they should do away with those outriders and siren telling motorists to get out of their way whenever they use the road....lebih lebih only!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690506.post-1150359343939242192006-06-15T16:15:00.000+08:002006-06-15T16:15:00.000+08:00What alternative is there now though.. opposition ...What alternative is there now though.. opposition arent far off (from what I can see)...All sama also.. then do what?
