Total Lack of Care & Facilities For Senior Citizens @ SingHealth Polyclinics.
An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Recently, I visited a SingHealth Polyclinic Lab Clinic. As usual. Many elderly people were there. Some of these unsteady patients were tottering about and supported by their elderly wives, daughters or maids. I noticed an old Malay man (around 80 years old). he held a walking stick in one hand and a small plastic container in the other. His wife assisted him. However, she could only bring him to the entrance of the toilet, after which, understandably, it was a no go zone for her. The old man pleaded with the wife to assist him at the urinal. The poor wife knew her limitations and left him alone at the entrance. SingHealth, had failed miserably to see to the physical needs of such elderly patients. Why can't they have "porters" on stand-by to assist these people - taking over from others who bring them to the toilets? Why can't there be special rooms for use by such people. Their wives, daughters, maids, etc.. can follow them in and assist them. If Singhealth wish to save costs by not using porters, then the least they could do is to provide such rooms for exclusive use by such people of both sexes. The lack of such facilities for the old and frail clearly indicates that those "proffessionals" who constructed the building and those that approved such designs simply do not have the needs of such people in mind. This is the sad case in Singapore today where the population of the old is rising steadily. The young generation seems to have lost such concerns, feelings and thoughts for the old and weak. They do not know how to emphatise. Maybe, these "super-intelligent technocrats" feel that they themselves have drank from the fountain of youth and will never age in the near future. Is this is what we called "far-sightedness" of the young leaders? Is Singhealth awaiting some disasters to happen and later be embroiled in civil suits?
