As
much
as
the
hospital
is
well
renowned
for
best
care
&
services,
which
initiated
to
send
my
wife
whom
had
high
fever
here
for
the
best
treatment
&
care,
I
have
regretted
this
decision
and
have
wasted
$7000++
SGD
warding
her
to
Mount
Elizabeth.
We
have
paid
in
advance
of
the
dispute
settlement,
and
we
seeked
further
compensation
due
to
the
TERRIBLE
MISMANAGEMENT
of
the
patience
request
&
care.
On
28th
July
2021,
at
noon,
we
requested
multiple
times
to
the
nurse
of
a
doctor's
attention
required
because
my
wife's
high
fever
kept
triggering
her
to
levels
of
39
degrees
above,
it
was
an
absolute
painful
experience
waiting
for
a
doctor.
Consecutively,
we
tried
checking
with
the
nurse
&
they
responded
that
they
are
checking.
To
our
dismay,
after
3
hours
at
3pm,
the
nurse's
reluctance
to
get
a
doctor
result
me
to
immediately
approach
the
nurse
reception
requesting
on
the
immediate
update.
The
nurse
at
the
reception
only
then
called
the
doctor,
for
us
only
to
be
attended
via
a
WHATSAPP
call,
with
the
doctor
informing
me
that
another
doctor
could
be
summoned
an
hour
later.
To
my
disappointment,
the
doctor
(Dr.
Shim)
informed
me
that
he
was
not
informed,
or
aware
that
my
wife
required
immediate
attention
&
care.
So
all
along
for
the
3
hours,
the
nurses
literally
ignored
our
request
to
contact
a
doctor!!!
With
my
wife's
excruciating
pain,
we
made
the
decision
to
transfer
to
Raffles
Hospital,
as
we
can
no
longer
wait.
The
business
care
team
at
Mount
Elizabeth
are
patient
&
attentive,
to
assess
our
financial
needs,
hence
opening
our
case
for
a
dispute.
But,
I
would
honestly
refrain
putting
your
loved
ones
in
this
hospital
if
they
require
immediate
care.
To
attempt
to
resolve
this
dispute,
the
hospital
seek
management
review.
The
head
nurse
delayed
the
follow
up
by
1
week
and
we
had
to
wait
1
month,
to
get
a
disappointing
response
by
the
Assistant
Vice
President
of
Operations
that
no
further
compensation
can
be
given
for
the
mismanagement,
mishandling
&
life
threatening
incident,
except
for
a
10%
discount.
We
have
also
continuously
informed
them
that
we
did
not
have
any
insurance
purchased
yet
(because
we
had
just
returned
from
Korea
for
my
wife's
baby
birth
delivery)
and
attempting
a
feeble
attempt
of
submitting
a
towards
a
traveler
insurance
of
my
wife's.
This
is
an
absolute
honest
review
of
our
painful
experience
&
a
reluctant
care
team,
&
with
no
intentions
of
defaming
or
prejudice
against
the
hospital.
I
transferred
my
wife
to
Raffles
Hospital
in
Bugis,
and
they
were
able
to
attend
to
her
needs
and
requests
with
swift
response.
There
are
residential
doctors
&
consultants
available
and
able
to
arrive
on
the
request
of
her
fever
triggers,
without
having
to
wait
3
to
4
hours
like
Mount
Elizabeth,
Novena.
Whoever
that
is
willing
to
hear
more
about
my
real
experience,
I
am
willing
to
share
openly
with
utmost
honesty.
