$1,018,469.29 medical bill? Where's Medisave Life when you need it?

This girl's post just reminded us that we can't afford to fall sick in Singapore.....

"$1,018,469.29

Healthcare or Nightmare?

10 doctors, 58 days in the ICU, 1 gigantic bill, Mum's life lost.
Never in my life would I have ever imagined I'd see a S$1 million medical bill.
$350,000 in medications… Over a thousand doses of drugs.. I felt so helpless when mum's kidneys failed.
One thing for sure is this... If I had known that 18 May would be the last day of her life, I would rather spend $350,000 on bringing mum the greatest joyful, loving, happiest and most comforting experiences, rather than have her go through 58 extremely painful suffering days immobile in a cold and sterile hospital room.

Looking back, it is all a lack of the right knowledge that cost my mum's life. The painful unknown is... I will never know whether we did the right thing to send mum in through these doors.

There are many health alternatives that can help reverse cancer. However, what is the DOSE and FREQUENCY required to achieve that outcome? Unfortunately it is mostly trial and error, and in mum’s instance, she was unable to consume the dose required to reverse her condition.
Because of this, we were selectively close-minded to recommendations. There were many doctors, alternatives and nutritional supplements that family & friends recommended. We explored some and missed many. However, if we stayed 100% open and explored ALL alternatives, one of them may have been able to save mum. A very costly regret…

We didn't realise how urgent cancer was. For someone with a generally healthy diet with natural foods and active lifestyle, if cancer strikes, find out if “targeted chemotherapy” is available. For aggressive treatment as chemotherapy, it needs to be administered as soon as possible while the body still has health reserves and is able to bounce back.

We also made the mistake of thinking “all hospitals are the same”. There is a HUGE difference in SPEED and EXPERTISE for public healthcare and private specialists. For a woman over 50's and post-menopause, if there is unusual swelling in the abdomen, a detailed scan to check for tumour is required immediately. When mum was first admitted in January, the doctors took 2 long weeks to discover the tumour. Something that the right scan would instantly reveal.

Unfortunately, I feel that the entire healthcare ecosystem is such that specialists and private facilities are gravely expensive, and billing is structured in a way to max-out insurance payout in a cold and professionally institutionalised way. My heart felt cold when I saw that on mum’s $1 million bill, she was referred to as “Customer” and not “Patient”..

It is truly regretful that we were ignorant about mum’s insurance coverage. Had we known that mum's insurance covered private specialist treatments, we could've sought private specialist expertise from Day 1.

At the end of the day… there are a ton of what-ifs and grey areas. What is right? What is wrong? One thing for sure is this.. Nothing can be done now to reverse the situation. Nothing can turn back time. And our hearts will miss mum forever...
More than ever now, I deeply feel that “If you do not invest time, money and energy in your health, you will spend your fortune on sickness”.
Ignorance is gravely costly. The right knowledge saves lives and protects families.

I hope this post has helped someone out there.

May we live with vigour, and die without suffering.

Rest in peace my beloved mummy..."

Deepest condolences to her and her family.

I FELT LIKE A FOOL TO BUY TICKETS TO THE SINGAPORE VS ARGENTINA GAME JUST TO WATCH MESSI PLAY......

Looks like I'm not alone in feeling that way....

"SOUR AND DISGUSTING" MILO BOUGHT FROM NTUC!!!!!

"On Thursday I bought 4 packs of small pack milo from ntuc for Olivia. She took a pack to drink yesterday, and told me it tasted bitter and sour. I gave it a tried and it really tasted sour and disgusting, I decided to cut open the pack and this is what I found inside.
This is the first time we have encounter such issue with pack drink, and we really never expect it to be with milo.
Be careful when you give your little one packaging drink.
Posted another photo with batch number and expiry date.
MILO Singapore have contacted me yesterday, they will investigate the batch of milo."

POOR LITTLE GIRL'S FACE INJURED BY FISHING HOOK AT BISHAN PARK!

Here's the full text:

IMPORTANT WARNING !!! ATTENTION TO ALL PARENTS WHO ALWAYS BRING THEIR CHILDREN TO BISHAN PARK !!

We wanted to bring attention to all frequent goers to Bishan Park, especially parents who always bring their children there what happened to our daughter just yesterday evening, 28th May 2017, around 7.30pm on Sunday. This unfortunate unforseen incident deeply tramatized the whole family which can be totally avoided if we exercise enough safety and caution to children.

We brought our daughter and son in our usual trips to Bishan park after dinner to stretch our legs for a walk and scooter at the same time. Around 7.30pm yesterday evening on 28 May 2017, both my kiddos were scootering with their father going towards the direction of the famous MacDonald bridge in Bishan Park. From the story I got from my girl, she was scootering along reaching the head of the bridge opposite to crossing over to McDonald when she noticed 3 young Indian boys just behind her playing with a fishing rod.

She took a moment right at the head of the bridge to stop to look out for the brother and father where they were when she feel a hit right onto her right cheek. It was a metal sharp fishing hook smacked right into her cheek (as you can see very clearly in the photo) where we took at KK hospital A&E last night just before them surgeon operated for close to 30 mins to cut out the "we do not know how long U-Shape" fishing hook".

For those who fish, you will know that a fishing rod with hook comes with a heavy metal weight (you can see from the last photo) and a small ball right before the turning sharp point for the fishes caught to get stuck to engage and not loosen off. My daughter became the "fish" who got hooked on with the freaking sharp hook and weight smacked right onto her cheeks.

The 3 young boys, eldest around maybe 12-13 years old (wearing glasses), to the youngest seemed to be brothers, were hanging around Bishan Park opposite MacDonald (a high human traffic area) walking and playing with the fishing rod with a long string and metal hook. They were swinging the fishing string with the sharp metal hook and God knows it came right onto my daughter's face. Me and her father, with a few help of passersby (there is a man and lady which we would like to thank them very much for shining their phone torchlights for us over her face as we attempted to bite off the nylon fishing string off her face to free her from the fishing rod, which me and my husband were shouting to the young boys not to pull hard as it will tear her face and skin off further.

My husband could not bite off the nylon string with his teeth and I managed to bite 2 strings off in the end. We then rushed my daughter straight to Mt Alvernia A&E which is nearest to us. The doctor on duty mentioned that if he performed on local anasthesia it will be too tramatised for her, but if to perform an open with sedation, they have no op theatre and bed to ward her too and also have to wait for many hours before it can happen. We took the advise of the kind nurse and rushed her to KK children hospital A&E instead. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE TERROR WE FEEL LOOKING AT OUR CHILD STANDING THERE WITH BLOOD WITH A HOOK ON HER FACE !!!

To conclude the long story, we were so focused on our daughter's well-being that we did not even have the chance or think of taking down any particulars of these 3 young indian boys whom we think are brothers roaming in Bishan Park on Sunday, 28 May 2017 around 7.30pm near the opposite end of MacDonald bridge when the incident occurred.

It will be good to find them or their parents to give them a real stern warning and the consequences that they cannot be playing around on the pedestrians pavement swinging a fishing road with such a dangerous sharp metal hook for GOD don't know why !!! I do not think they allowed fishing in Bishan Park at all though they are swampy water areas.

Any kind soul who happened to witness the incident, and knew the 3 young indian boys kindly PM me. For those who does not know kindly help to spread the word to warn the public of these young boys as they may be still around the same area doing the same thing !!

We as parents will really appreciate a lot due to what happened to our daughter. To find them is not to punish them but at least to let them and their parents know how dangerous acts they are doing to harm the public safety at Bishan Park !

Thank you !

APPLE HUAT AH! Why are so many MOE schools buying iPads at the same time?

Noticed a lot of such listings on the government procurement website GeBiz.

Why do they specify iPad?

Why doesn't MOE buy in bulk to get economies of scale?

How much is MOE budgeting for the devices?

They made a fool of themselves picking on the wrong Cherry.....
