Wow, $50k is very high. It's really nice of Dr Yam to care so much for his patients.
I think i am allergic to anaesthetic coz both experiences, (removing of blood cyst when i did the surgery in KKH and using epidural during delivery at gleneagles), both i had the same problem of urinating. Instead of encouraging me, i was scolded and pressured by the nurses for not being able to urine after delivery. I could feel the urge but it doesn't come out at all. I tried very hard and with the scolding and pressure (one senior nurse told me that another lady just delivered, later than me but already urine, why i cannot?) it's not that i don't want to, it's i can't... they told me if i don't urine, i cannot be discharged and it could lead to uterus infection, this i understand their concern, but i felt they could have done it in a more understanding and polite manner, since i just delivered and was scared since it was my first delivery. I was very stressed and broke down and cry. I am utterly disappointed with the treatment Gleneages nurses gave me during that time.
