I
am
extremely
disappointed
with
the
lack
of
professionalism
fro
Dr
Low
Chian
Yong.
This
is
a
change
of
mind
when
I
decided
not
to
publicly
mention
his
name
in
my
first
post.
For
the
record,
I
was
given
the
understanding
from
a
nurse
in
Ward
8
West
on
12
November
2021
that
Dr
Low
was
the
attending
doctor
during
my
mother’s
admission
to
Gleneagles
Hospital
in
November
last
year.
My
simple
question
on
how
can
a
Covid-19
patient
who
had
become
more
infectious
on
Day
9
based
on
her
CT
values
be
discharged?
The
answer
that
Gleneagles
Hospital
was
merely
following
MOH
protocol
is
unacceptable.
It
does
not
answer
my
question.
May
I
request
Dr
Low
Chian
Yong
to
have
the
basic
courtesy
to
answer
my
question
please?
It
does
not
reflect
well
on
Dr
Low
if
he
chooses
not
to!!!
Thank
you.

Zero
star
for
my
personal
experience
with
the
attending
Infectious
Disease
doctor
(whom
I
shall
not
mention
name)
of
Ward
8
West
and
MoH
Covid
Hotline
staff!
Three
stars
for
the
nurses
looking
after
my
mother
during
her
10-day
stay.
Hence
2
stars
overall.
Read
on
for
the
details.
My
elderly
and
non-English
speaking
mother
was
admitted
not
by
choice
to
Gleneagles
Hospital
for
Covid
observation.
Her
CT
values
on
Day
6
and
Day
10
worsened.
Based
on
MoH
guidelines,
the
patient
is
infectious
if
the
PCR
CT
value
is
35
and
below.
My
mother’s
CT
values
are
19.5
and
18.5
respectively.
I
need
assurance
from
the
attending
doctor
that
my
mother
is
good
to
be
discharged
and
for
the
well-being
of
my
elderly
father
who
is
living
in
the
same
household
as
her.
I
am
simply
doing
my
part
as
a
responsible
child
and
to
the
greater
community!
I
requested
multiple
times
to
speak
with
the
attending
doctor
but
to
no
avail!
The
nurse
manager
even
lied
that
“someone
would
call
soon”
at
least
twice!
I
was
also
told
by
another
nurse
that
the
doctor
doesn’t
wish
to
speak
with
me
at
all.
When
I
asked
for
the
reason,
she
could
not
answer
me.
The
default
answer
I
got
from
speaking
to
the
nurses
to
MoH
Covid
hotline
staff
is
they
are
merely
following
MoH
protocol!
This
is
an
easy
but
unacceptable
answer!
Despite
the
disappointing
response
to
my
unanswered
questions,
I
wish
to
thank
the
hospital
staff
who
is
looking
after
my
mother
during
her
10-day
stay.
Before
I
pen
off,
please
allow
me
to
suggest
following
areas
for
improvement:
1)
Attending
doctor
to
address
the
patient
of
her
family
member’s
concerns.
Even
if
the
doctor
needs
more
time
to
check.
In
my
humble
opinion,
the
delay
in
my
mother’s
discharge
is
caused
by
the
doctor’s
refusal
to
address
my
concerns.
2)
Nurses
not
to
mislead
or
lie.
I
rely
on
the
nurses
to
help
address
or
convey
my
concerns
if
they
are
unable
to
answer
my
questions.
Citing
they
are
following
MoH
protocol
is
an
easy
answer.
3)
MoH
staff
to
handle
all
enquiries
with
empathy.
4)
Last
but
not
the
least,
May
I
request
the
hospital
to
have
patient’s
well-being
at
heart.
Everyone
recovery
journey
is
different.
To
both
hospital
and
MoH
Hotline
staff
members,
do
not
look
at
every
case
with
a
standard
procedure/protocol
like
robots/messengers.
We
are
human
beings.
So,
please
treat
every
one
with
empathy
and
compassion!
Thank
you
for
reading
my
feedback.
