Fainted

11-05-09, Monday

My 2nd-sis was fainted in the office. Mum called to inform me at 5:30pm. Brother-in-law, Ignatius who was at Tampines was rushing down to Raffles Place where my sister works. Before anything happen, I rushed down in the middle of my work. By the time I got to her office, I was told she has already admitted to the A&E at Singapore General Hospital by the ambulance.

Visiting a patient at the hospital is more hassling than ever before. Everyone has to register at the counter, informing the nurse who are you visiting and temperature check is compulsory. A face mask is given before you enter to the main hall. Per visit of a patient is only limited to two, that means you must take turn to visit friends or family members. The whole process was executed in a mannerly way.

Except 1 particular nurse who was temperamental and frowning when I checked with her with regards to my sister's condition. I was rather pissed off by her attitude but then again, I tried to cool off to remind myself that people has bad days too. She was behaving like that because of the swine flu and the pressure she has to face in her daily work in this fast-moving department. All patients needed her care and her attention.

Sisters were calling me to check out my sister's condition but no answer from any doctor. She was kept under observation and to see how her body reacte to the medication that the doctor has injected. We would know in 1 or 2 hours time.

By the time I left the hospital with Hubby, it was already 10:30pm and no report was out yet. My sister's cell-group leader and her hubby were waiting.

I hope my sister is well and she can discharge from the hopsital by today.
