A Ministry of Health spokesperson told CNA that emergency departments have been seeing a high number of patients for a few months. While most patients have conditions not related to COVID-19, the rising infection caseload exacerbates the situation.


typical playing of words. so what is the percentage of covid vs non-covid cases?

using "most" without any numbers has no meaning.

 

[gracehsu]

My personal experience recently..
Waited for 2 nights .. (considered fast as the doc needed to give me higher priority due to the urgency of my surgery)

And it was an eye opener for me .. so many patients juz waiting. I was shocked.

So we should really appreciate the hard work of our healthcare workers

 

[ZhouXingXing]

[greentiger]

Instead of building a community hospital beside, they should have just built a bigger hospital.

Then they will have more beds.

Irresponsible pet "expert"

 

[Mecisteus]

Do we have 24 hour polyclinics? Thought they tried out for a while and then stopped

If emergency, go to A&E.

If not emergency, then go when polyclinic is open.

 

[peaceheart]

Recall private hospital doctors up do national service!

Yes! Mobilise the army and Recall all the retirees (men) too!

Leave sinkies women alone at all cost!

 

[whenhappilyretired]

Time to put back mask mandate.

 

[justln]

What else is new.

 

[fandango]

Even if you can build 5x hospital , do you have the manpower to run them?

Why not? Import in lar. Raise nurses wages lar.

You know SAF regulars pay how much or not?

 

[NightGhost]

Bring mattress n go parlimen or mp house door to sleep there liao

If emergency, go to A&E.

Problem is, a lot of people don't know what is emergency to the extent that they are willing to wait. At least in the emergency department, someone is looking out for the patient, even in waiting area.

Is diarrhoea an emergency? What if the patient is very old or very young? And it's at night and the caregiver cannot differentiate between sleepiness and drowsiness? Objectively, one can assess but if you are wrong, your loved one dies. So it's either GP or AnE.

Day time. Your colleague has fainting spells. He says he is ok. Do you call an ambulance, ask him to see doctor (take time off) or just continue working since he says he is ok?

If you are medically trained or confident, you might say ok, won't go ane. But members of the public might just want to be safe. At least some medical attention. And at night, only AnE is available.

Day time, it is possible for more to go to see GPs or polyclinic but some are not confident or the patient is non ambulant.

Two examples
Bedridden parent.
Someone with very bad abdominal pain at the roadside. You are passerby. Either you escort him to GP (and now you are responsible if he faints along the way) or you call an ambulance and settle the issue.

Go mount E ba
Then no such problem

Parkway hospital group are mostly full also. My friend was rejected a few weeks back due to lack of beds. Only suites are available if you've the cash to burn.

In fact, most of the private hospitals in sg are out of beds when my friend injured his leg a few weeks back. We have to call nearly all the private hospital in sg in the middle of the night before we managed to get lucky.

had similar experience many years before covid. really disgusted with 6.9m white paper henceforth..

that's why sinkies should vote against population ponzi created growth...is so lazy and garment just play middlemen while collecting land rents...

covid exposed their bs 6.4-6.9m theories

 

[flatterylies]

Due to F1. Miw very arrogant. Before start F1, never prepared for the surge.

they say 80% of the population boostered le what..

 

[antonpoh]

how come so bad????

After F1 it's very normal to see 10-20k new covid cases.

Now is a good time to stop india from sending more virus here, at least until they got it under control.

I don't believe a 1.4 billion population only have 2k of covid cases daily. Lower than sg.

In-line with other countries with big increase in excess deaths (17% in Australia)... assuming before death people are admitted to hospitals, hospitals should see big increase.

Need contingency plan. If your boaster not working, must fall to health care. Miw just arrogant not to plan for contingency plan. Last year lesson never learn
