2/5 Ean E. 2 years ago on Google
Was
just
discharged
today
from
MAH
after
an
open
myomectomy.
My
gynae
was
great,
as
usual
😃.
MAH
was
however
surprisingly
lacking
considering
I’ve
heard
great
reviews
about
the
nurses
there.
My
comments
are
below:-
1.
I
had
requested
for
a
single
bedder
in
advance
as
it
was
an
elective
surgery,
but
upon
checking
in
business
Centre
told
me
only
2
bedders
were
avail.
No
reasons
given.
If
I
had
been
informed
that
my
request
is
not
guaranteed
I
would
have
opted
for
a
different
hospital
since
my
gynae
is
free
to
operate
in
all
pte
hospitals.
2.
I
had
bad
nausea
and
was
in
pain
after
the
ops
but
despite
repeated
requests
for
top
up
painkillers,
nobody
came.
After
numerous
calls,
a
nurse
finally
provided
me
with
apoxia
and
I
felt
better.
3.
I
was
on
catheter
and
a
nurse
who
came
to
empty
the
bag
commented
I
had
very
little
output.
I
asked
if
the
urine
was
being
drained,
she
pointed
to
the
tube
and
said
yes
and
walked
off.
Hours
later
I
felt
my
tummy
was
uncomfortable
with
the
feeling
that
it
was
full
of
pee
but
you
had
to
hold
it.
I
pressed
my
tummy
just
to
be
sure
it
was
not
the
surgery
pain
and
was
sure
it
wasn’t.
At
that
point
I
was
still
in
bad
nausea,
with
post
ops
pain
and
now
this!
I
called
for
help
and
luckily
a
more
experienced
nurse
came
to
the
rescue.
She
adjusted
the
tube
and
pumped
in
some
fluids.
After
a
while
she
explained
it
should
be
working
now
as
the
tubes
were
warm
(previously
cold)
and
the
bag
was
starting
to
fill.
True
enough
I
felt
better
after
that.
I
felt
the
first
nurse
should
have
been
more
alert
since
she
has
already
commented
the
urine
output
was
v
little.
4.
I
took
a
shower
on
the
2nd
day
and
asked
someone
for
help
with
the
abdominal
binder
but
she
said
if
I’m
lying
down
there
is
no
need
to
put
it
on.
I
was
surprised
since
this
is
not
my
understanding
after
going
through
2
previous
c
secs.
I
asked
another
nurse
if
I
should
be
wearing
the
binder
if
lying
down
she
said
YES
and
helped
me
with
it.
This
may
be
judgemental
but
it
came
across
that
the
first
nurse
was
too
lazy
to
help
me.
5.
I
was
moved
to
single
bedder
on
2nd
day
as
one
was
available.
No
hot
water
on
3rd
day
morning
when
showering.
No
one
provided
me
with
painkillers
as
well
throughout
the
night
and
late
into
the
next
morning
until
I
asked
for
it.
I
mentioned
to
my
gynae
that
perhaps
I
could
be
discharged
early
since
I
seem
to
be
doing
pretty
well
without
painkillers.
A
nurse
was
there
and
prob
heard
me,
after
that
the
other
nurses
were
very
diligent
in
asking
if
I
need
one.
Also
it
seems
to
take
very
long
before
someone
comes
with
medicine,
once
it
took
more
than
an
hour
before
someone
came
back
with
panadol
after
my
request.
6.
Few
occasions
nurses
came
in
to
check
on
my
blood
pressure,
temp
and
the
wound
but
when
they
saw
me
with
the
abdominal
binder
they
said
‘oh
you’re
wearing
a
binder..
I’ll
just
check
it
later’.
I
don’t
understand
why
and
when
will
later
be
since
I’m
supposed
to
be
wearing
it
all
day
unless
showering?
Dr
asked
a
nurse
how
is
my
wound
and
she
said
it’s
ok,
how
does
she
know
when
no
one
checked
anyway?
7.
On
check
out
day,
dr
did
a
final
check…
opened
up
the
dressing
and
asked
the
nurse
to
replace
me
with
a
fresh
one.
The
nurse
left
the
room
with
the
dr
and
never
came
back,
leaving
me
lying
on
the
bed
for
20
mins
with
an
open
dressing.
It’s
strange
to
me
why
would
the
nurse
choose
do
another
task
when
leave
me
lying
there.
Aftet
20
mins
I
called
for
help
and
another
nurse
attended
to
me
promptly.
Muttered
something
about
the
other
nurse
mentioned
she
would
do
it.
I
chose
to
operate
in
MAH
due
to
previous
good
reviews
from
friends.
I
unfortunately
do
not
agree.
