Night at the Hospital
NUH is all drama.
For one thing, the A&E is a mega dose of supersuck. I don't even know why they bother if an A&E if it takes 2 hour for a patient to get diagnosed by a doctor. When I sent my father to the emergency ward after his heart attack on Deppavali, my heart sunk when I saw the notice which said, "Average time to see the doctor : 1 to 2 hours".
It was the same two years ago and obviously, there has been no shit improvement to the service at all. The nurse at the reception also spoke absolutely broken English which made me want to kungfu kick her in her fat face.
After I settled my dad in the ward, I went to the lobby to the 7-11 to buy newspaper and food for my dad. A comical fight broke out in the lobby between three old ah-beng and a fat taxi driver. Apparently, the taxi gently knocked one of the old ah-beng down at the taxi stand and the whole gang of old ah-bengs took umbrage. The fat asses taxi-driver took a picture of the old
ah bengs and the whole gang became agitated. Lots of shouting ensued.
And then they fought. Or tried to fight. Rather, it was a comical dance between four old men who looked like they were dancing para para at the arcade. Lots of threatening hand movement and running in circles around the lobby but nobody even landed any blows. If this took place in the arcade, these old men would be scoring lots of combos and getting high scores at dance dance revolution.
So this took five whole minutes and the police who was stationed at the NUH was absolutely no where to be seen. Incredible. Useless hospital and absent policemen who couldn't hear shouting and fighting a few paces away.

Alemak... there are 2 fast lanes you could take:
1) make a drama entrance. Carry your dad in your arms and wept and cry as if he is dying
2) skip NUH, go Alexandra Hospital. I was served the minute I arrived. The nurse wheeled me from the carpark. That is how attentive they were.
These are trial and tested methods. I think I have blog about them before, but can't find it in my archives.
