My brother unfortunately, last year had a motor accident and sent to Alexandra Hospital and warded in C ward.
After some weeks was discharged. He went through theraphy but still was in pain.
We thought he was pretending and did not pay attention to him.
Alexandra Hospital doctor told him, his injury cannot be operated on.
After one year of pain, he sought an Orthopaedic surgeon in Gleneagles.
The surgeon discover the injury was actually more than what Alexandra Hospital found.
He had another fracture not discovered and that caused the pain for so long.
He under went the operation and cost $21,000 plus as in earlier posting on the bills.
Is C ward patient so lightly treated, because the patient is seen as poor?
I am quite surprised that AH doctor told him, he cannot be operated on, but when refered to private hospital, more injury was found and he could be operated on.
Is this a lapse on Alexandra Hospital doctor? Or is it because he is a C ward patient?
After the operation, his pain ceased and he could raise the two arms which was not able to be raised before operation at Gleneagles and AH doctor told him his condition cannot be operated on then.
Is this skill of surgeon or money talks?
