Charity Drive @ Hospital
Back home in Singapore.. i had never seen a charity drive to buy an MRI machine and its like. Most of our hospitals are semi-privatized and although the government in Singapore is very much a part of the health care system back home.. they hired professsionals to make the hospital profitable.. yet taking care of the needs of its people.
For the last 8 yrs, the local hospital had been having a charity drive.. for a MRI machine.. and now something else i think. Of course, I have no problems with it.. afterall, it does benefit the people of this town and the various country near us. But having been on the other end.. whereby I had to PAY for medical before my MSI card came, the hospital charged enormous fees which i am sad to say.. didn’t not meet up to the standards back home. For $1700 per nite for a shared room, the room that i was in when i was giving birth to Missy Moo .. was noisy.. and constantly had other patients changing room every other day. It was disruptive and stressful, the bar faucets needs working on .. because the hot water was cold.. and the cold water was hot. Like I said.. i’m all for charity drive.. but i am not impressed with what i saw when i was staying in the hospital.
