NUH is my biggest regret throughout the 9 months
1. I will never forget i q 6hrs on 14 feb 2011 to see get a scan (I paid A rates)
2. The seats are not comfortable and there isnt enough seats
3. The admin is horrible at fetal clinic different nurses tell you different things.
My most unforgetable moment. I was so called told that being a 1st time mum, I will be given some counselling (basically) to ask me which ward I wanted to sign up. Here comes joke of the year:
joke 1
STAFF nurss: r you going to bf?
me: yes
SN: gd we r pro bf, any questions feel free to ask
me: what should i do if my bb cant latch on
SN: i give you this book you go read
me: i have read a few i m not confident what should i do?
SN: go google u tube
me: if in the event during my stay in nuh i have bf problems what should i do
SN: REFER TO THE BOOKLET
me: dun i have someone to turn to?
SN: refer to the booklet theres a list of hotlines for you to call
me: why would i call kk when i m in nuh?
Joke 2
SN: there r 3 types of pain killer
me: whats the difference between epidual , padadin?
SN: one you jab the spine another jab tighs
me: thats not helpful, what is the difference?
SN: padadin waste time, it is not effective
me: then y woulld the hospital offer it?
SN: some mothers like to feel the pain
I was boiling mad by this time
Joke 3
me: i will do epidual
SN: remember you cant take epidual after you are dialted 3 cm (wrong inform!!! if you do so before it may prevent dialation!!!)
me: how do i know when I am dilated 3 cm?
SN: you wouldnt
me: how long does it take for one to dialte 3 cm
SN: you wouldnt
me: so when should i take it then?
SN: not after you dialted 3 cm
me: WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS COBVERSATION?
SN: it is part of our protocol
N i waited 45 min to hear her speak this. I was so close to screaming!
The saving grace though was that I was treated well at the delivert ward. The nurses truely cared
So if you dun mind meeting the idiot I met and the q, for a princess treatment in the ward.. NUH is bearable.
I AM NEVER GOING BACK NEVER
