Six months ago, I made an appointment to see a doctor. The appointment was for 16th November.
In July, I called the hospital to reschedule the appointment to an earlier date due to last minute work comittment. The hospital confirmed the change by sending a "Change In Appointment" notification letter to my home address.
In August, I received another "Change In Appointment" notification to inform me the appointment has been rescheduled again because the doctor "is not available".
Yesterday I got another notification. Change in appointment again. 16th November. Have to call them again.
Can you please inform them you are a very busy man?! -_-
ReplyDeleteAnd that every minute you waste is $1 million dollars gone?!
Like that then I think they'll FINALLY settle down on your appointment man...Ha...
aiyo.. so efficient! must comprain ah!
ReplyDeletewow. super efficient. hahaha!
ReplyDeletehere we go round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush...
ReplyDeleteheh.
Wah, they really do know how to "put their patients first" ah!
ReplyDeleteSigh, sounds like the usual bereaucratic runaround. When you write in, make a note of the snafu. This being Singapore, they will hopefully take note and improve the system.
ReplyDeleteTake heart that at least the system here is better than in many other countries.
i know! i cant understand the notification letters practice.
ReplyDeletei really respect our medical workers but the bureacracy just blows my mind.
Patience makes you my idol.
ReplyDeleteHaha.. back to where u were if u didn't change appointment, think u are just too heng.. should buy 1611 see if the number got come out.
ReplyDeleteIs it 16th November 2008???
ReplyDeleteaverilchan: They confirm will not believe one.
ReplyDeleteclaris: Very troublesome to comprain. Sometimes comprain is like talking to wall. Not sure how they handle comprain in the hospital.
juz_a_gal: Have to be efficient. Hospital leh. :)
belle: *hold hands, skip in a circle*
jasper chen: More like put patients in a blackhole. :)
pfong: Agree agree. Our system definitely better. Have tasted worse ones overseas.

bahgae: Eh nice number leh. Noted!
jayaxe: No. It is 2004. kekeke...
win liao lor...like that...u dun have to see him liao...
ReplyDeleteThis may sound contrary, but better to change appointment and get the actual doctor to see than to have a stand-in and have a 2nd hand doctor of usually, a "lower title". Happened once to me, and stand-in is no good, don't know head to tail of my case history. Btw, I don't for the hospitals.
ReplyDeleteang ku kueh: Will see him sooner or later...maybe next year. :)
ReplyDeletemother superior: In the previous appointments, I saw the stand-in. The doctor will come in for a short while to read the notes taken by the stand-in, give some advice and leave.
