a&e

After I've finished watching the football match which czech thrashed denmark 3-0 at 4.30am, I went to sleep hoping to catch sufficient sleep(to sleep as much as i can lorz, hehe). However, I was awoken by my ringing handphone(my dad called). Grandpa was feeling very very unwell the whole of last night(i'll save the details for myself =P). Initially my dad intended for me to call up an ambulance and follow my grandpa to A&E but my grandpa didn't want to trouble anyone as he didn't find that there was a need to be hospitalised. When my aunt came over, she convinced him that the symptoms he suffered from shudn't be neglected and in the end, we(me and aunt) took him to SGH's A&E by cab(since he can walk, there wasn't the need to waste $100++ just to 'hail' an ambulance). When we got there, we were attended to very quickly by a nurse and after some examination, he was wheeled further in to wait for a doc to see him. Unbelievably, we had to wait for 2+hrs before a doc attended to him lorz(waiting so long in A&E?!?). I could see the group of docs all appeared at the same time to attend to the long 'queue' of patients waiting! My assumption is tt they all went for lunch together and this isn't a very comforting assumption...how can they just abandon their post all together?! This is a shocking experience for me...having to wait so long in A&E...hmm...it's interesting how I spent my day 'cos I actually intended to go to JRL to return my already over-due book and maybe borrow a book for reading back in camp...haha...realised that my patience has been tremendously increased thru' the army...a lot of time is wasted on administrative stuff in the army which slows everything down...
