STOMPer p observes that we treat nurses as though they are maids
at our beck and call. The STOMPer is a healthcare professional and
she finds Singaporean patients very unappreciative.
Said p in an email:
"I'm a healthcare professional and I find Singaporean patients very
unappreciative.
"They treat the nurses like maids at their beck and call.
"They expect to be attended to as soon as possible without
realising that there are other patients in the queue.
"Come on, if you want fast, go to a private instituition.
"It is a fact that government healthcare establishments have long
waiting hours because they are so much cheaper.
"They are unsympathetic towards doctors who are not feeling well,
and write complaint letters that say the attending doctor was cold
and unfriendly instead of trying to understand that the doctor did
not smile because she/he is unwell.
"Long hours, little pay and to top it off, unappreciative
patients.
"These people seriously need to do some self-reflection and require
re-education."
