bunch of FANSUs...

This is a blog to express my irritation...
and a message to my friends Lian & CJ, please come back!!!For your information, Fan Su (sound: Hakka dialect), or 番薯 in Chinese characters, literally means "sweet potato"; which can also mean "stupid" in slangs.Last Friday, my uncle (who exchanged houses with us to check on the renovation progress) was hospitalized due to early stroke, his left side was (and is still) weak, especially his left arm and hand.I think we probably reached the general hospital emergency ward at 10.30am (under our usual clinic's doctor advise), then they sent him to another hospital for CT Scan (I think, I wasn't there, went to get food for him since he didn't eat the whole morning
), my mum was with him the whole time though. When they got back, it was almost 12 noon. After a few checks, they said they had to admit him for a few days to see how he progress. And so we waited for them to send him to the ward.
And we waited.
And waited.
It was almost 2pm and I said to my mum, probably the new regulations is that patients can only check in at 2pm, you know, like a hotel? But I bet the room won't be as nice!C'mon, even I'm getting hungry, it's almost 2pm and my uncle hadn't had anything! And the fact that we don't have any idea what he can or cannot eat...FINALLY, things started moving, and by the time we reached the ward, it's already 2.30pm. I mean, he was put laying on the stretcher in the emergency ward for about an hour, just laying there. So were many people who already got treated. Isn't that an emergency ward? So I guess, that's how a general hospital work...And I thought the drama would end there.
We waited for a doctor to come check on my uncle since the emergency ward says that the assigned doctor will give us better advice.
When the doctor came, guess what his first sentence was?“講華語嗎？“Excuse me? That doesn't even sound polite!
In English, it's literally "Speak Mandarin?"I practically rolled my eyes!
After so many hours, and that's the kind of attitude we see in a doctor? Does speaking another language make him great? Or the fact that he's a doctor? Too bad he doesn't speak Hakka, I could probably tolerate with his arrogant attitude if he did speak the dialect. Although my uncle speaks some Mandarin, but he's more comfortable in Hakka...in the end, we spoke in English.And the doctor asked another annoying question: why were you admitted to the hospital?
Who's the doctor here? You think we like coming here?Suddenly he was needed on the other side of the ward, and he left us there...practically dumbfounded...didn't even excuse himself...youngsters nowadays...
I assume he's younger than me with his immature attitude which didn't impress me from the first minute!While waiting, we witnessed something which definitely did not impress my mother, who was a nurse before, very much.
It seems there was an influx of patients, and the nurses had to prepare extra beds. So there goes the nurses, spreading the beds, covering them with bedsheets...and they had 3 person doing 1 bed...then the 2nd bed, then the 3rd...how nice, working together! NOT...manpower not fully utilized is a wastage.Guess the world nowadays is run by
? I definitely believe that if we went to the private hospitals, we wouldn't have to wait so long for everything to happen. So, does that mean every time anything happens, we should go to the private hospitals? Just because we're not paying more, that means we have to receive crappy services? This is not progression, it's simply regression! I don't even want to start imagining what will happen when I get old...
