Darling Suffered From Sternal Fracture :(
Poor Darling had a severe fall during his outfield exercise yesterday morning and was admitted to hospital. When i received the news, i felt so worried about him. I immediately applied urgent leave and rushed down to NUH with his clothings and belongings.
When i reached there, he was already admitted to ward. X-ray showed that he had suffered from sternal fracture at his chest and he also bear wounds at his abdominal area and legs. Luckily, his face and head was not hurt. Doctor gave him a jab for relieve pain and he was admitted to ward. He had to wait for another observation till late afternoon. Darling wanted to be discharge on the same day. Hence, i waited for him as i know that my heart would only feel at ease with only his presence. Having nothing to do, I just sat beside his bed all the while, hoping the doctor would come faster. Fell asleep a few times. Time really crawls so slowly in the hospital.
NUH service really sucks. Maybe because it's only a B2 ward. It was the second time visiting the hospital. Impression was still as bad. The nurses were not attentive to the patients. Darling was told by the doctor that the nurses would apply cream on his wounds. Yet, we waited from 8am till 12pm. No signs of the cream. Feedback to one of the nurses and she said need to wait for the Pharmacy to send them the cream. The Pharmacy is only downstairs!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Worse, the second time, at about 5pm, i asked another nurse for the cream, it was still in a plastic bag!!!!!!!!!!!! What is this????????? And, when i asked her about applying the medication, she mentioned that the doctor say it was not necessary. I felt that at least for god's sake have some courtesy to inform the patient or the family about it. I was really fuming mad.
Bad service, bad service, bad bad bad service.
When the doctor finally came, it was already close to 6pm. After the observation, we waited for another 3 hours to the final jab. The Pharmacy was closed and they need to wait for the A&E department to deliver jab. By then, i was already 9pm. I really dunno wat to say. So many staffs yet still so inefficient........
Darling is now safety back at home. He will be on 2 weeks hospitalisation leave. Pray that he will recuperate faster. We both saw the double rainbow yesterday. Hope that good things will come after this.
