last week my wife went for her surgery, though she opt for B1 cos she also scare to sleep alone

but they told her that B1 was reserved (maybe for covid ) and might downgrade her to B2, end up put her in A after the surgery.

Quite a lot of ortho ops need two doctors. Your joints need to be manipulated in certain positions. 

Oh really ah? Cos many years ago i had shoulder labral op. that time I was under Company insurance cap to $10k, so only 1 doc.

For this ACL my personal insurance is as charged then got 2 docs. The total costs was 3 times my shoulder labral op. 

My insurance fre joke with me i already took back all my premiums paid to date le

You got another one of you helping (2 ortho) VS u ask scrub nurse help u do something (1 ortho and 1 nurse) .

Which one u think is faster and better but not cheaper? You also got better things to do with your time right. Its not that they can't do solo sometimes. But it's stupid to do it solo unless no choice. 

In hospital, it's the registrar or MO being the human assistant. They just don't get any cut or benefit cos they are just trainees.

Anyway from what I heard from my friends. Your op bill for the first one won't even cover the OT charges alone nowadays. And this goes to parkway reit.

Long long time ago, due to elevated GGT, my GP refer me to polyclinic for further check.

In summary, it takes 6 months from polyclinic to SGH and there is nothing wrong.

That 6 months involves 4 appointments only.

Polyclinic referral to big hospital specialist might need wait 4-6 mths

 

by that time cancer cell spread wildly

Similar thing with car. Bring to AD, big issue , small issue all want to replace and change.

Bring to workshop, he only tells you those that really need to change. 

 

thats why normally car service with AD better and more well maintained than svc outside?😆

Private is everything like to do more than do less, and also fast fast do and fast fast know the outcome. The other time when i go private see gastro specialist, the doctor suggest to do MRI than CT scan, since MRI can see everything more clearly and accurately. And i ended up pay much more lo. Luckily insurance can cover everything. Lol.

They don't allow people to contaminate their single beds lol. 

No I was lodged in b1. 4 bedder. I wasn't allowed to be in A ward. 

Really ah? SGH dont anyhow open their A ward? So public can only opt for 4 bedder and below ward?

No lah cos I was running a fever and I was warded under Oncology department. They probably don't allow fever patients to use certain beds. Since I wanted to use public hospital, LL lor.

Will the polyclinic referral see the patient situation and expedite the referral to see specialist faster if the patient condition is serious? Or no special treatment?

Especially when the ortho say he had a hard time with tracing the line to cut out  picture for his children arts and craft. Really need 4 hands.

Haha working with saws/plates/screws and drills very different from arts and crafts. 

Guys generally like orthopedics lah. It's like woodworking or crafting.

no, polyclinic cannot reject. I think this was actually a question asked in parliament.

I only see the exec summary. They got say how they measure effectiveness of disease prevention? like annual ffi improvement rates?

If not wait like skill futures fund, training with no substantial increase in taxable income

Haha. 

Its probably figures of hospitalization/end organ damage vs studied population disease markers proxy like BP/Hba1c etc. 

You can measure all this. But who's going to provide all this data. Us lor. Spend more time doing admin data entry then actually seeing the patient. They say oh computerized, can save many steps. Yeah right. You include so many fields/tabs that we have to keep checking and filling up.

Last time your lokun just anyhow write something. Eyeball can already, verbally tell pt. Now everyone write/fill up  multiples multiples more but actually u don't tell the patient anything more. It's already happening now over the last 10-20 years.  

Just think about how many take aways can u absorb from a few minute conversation?

Meanwhile now the lokun has to write/fill up/monitor multiples more to satisfy the Co sponsor of your treatment. At least to an insurance company, we are only fighting for our rightful fees. Now we have to fulfill kpi for MOH. 

The patients with the right mindset will still have better outcomes irregardless.

this is the right step. Vs now, doctors get paid when people fall sick.. doctors actually want you to be sick… 

I'm sorry . I work in a restructured hospital . I would very much like to be paid for seeing actually sick patients and NOT a lot of healthy people who turn up just because they are paranoid.

Probably another specialist involved who can also earn money from the op . A cleaner can also hold limbs correctly if shown how to.
