Have been to the hospital quite a lot recently to visit one of my family frds who is pending for his surgical treatment. Public hospital is undoubtedly my least favourite place NOW. My anger and sadness grow with the observation of medical staffs' attitude and behaviours. I feel that nowadays patients are treated inside such a mega black box they dun know what alternative treatments they can ask for but simply follow the choices tht those doctors offer...The doctors dun tell you a lot of things unless u ask for. Each doctor spends ard 5 mins only for each patient cuz there are crowds after crowds waiting everyday...The doctors are always looking dull and discouraged towards patients...all they mentioned during visits are abt the fee tht patients have to afford in their treatment...no medical treatments are offered unless ones' paying the fee first. Oh what a good business?!

Another thing tht I hate most is the nurses' attitudes. I understand tht they hv tons of works to deal with and for sure they hv a lot of pressure too. Yet does it mean they can being completely rude towards patients? I was with my frd in the surgical department last few days and here are two significant examples of the nurses' poor attitude,

1.) There was a male nurse who is around my age and he was scolding to one of the patients like, "抽血呀呀伯! 拿高你個手就啦!"...the patient was quite sick and couldnt really get the nurse's meaning and then the nurse became even angrier and said, "咁你抽唔抽呀! 唔出聲大晒呀! 我唔係好得閒既JEH! CHI SIN! "...some other patients was shocked too and I couldnt believe tht the nurse head leader who was beside didnt even speak any word...the doctor who was there just simply sighed. WTF?

2.) Another case is during my waiting at the hospital lobby I saw two young female nurses were chatting gossips with some really annoying bad words loudly; with their duty to lead a sick patient- an old lady in wheel-chair to an operation...omg that was a public area! and I cant imagine how hard and dizzy the patient was feeling...

JOBSJOBSJOBSMONEYMONEYMONEY.

I understand that we all hv to eat and to maintain a living but can they be nicer towards the patients? 政府常常宣傳不要醫院中病人對醫護人員的暴力, hv they even thought abt the real defensive ones are the medical staffs? How many of those present medical staffs are faithfully wanting to be there or simply just wanting to hv a stable job with nice incomes? Why do they work so hard in private hospitals instead? I hate how my pre-nurses frds are claiming how they r dying to work at private hospitals since there are more rich people... ;(

My creative intervention in this case should be maintaining a super healthy body and never never never ever stay in hospitals!
