		<description>Mistakes do happen &lt;b&gt;but just don&#039;t try to hide it and act snobberish and inscrutable when you commit a life-threatening error like most doctors and pharmacists do&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;. And just &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;SAY SORRY&lt;/b&gt; for God&#039;s sake.</description>

		<description>I had avery unpleasant experience at NUH...and I can confirm that NUH is a classic example of the TOP not knowing the ground....the employees of NUH come from various countries...and all of them either speak in halting English or no english at all...even the Doctors come from various countries...
The result: A TOWER OF BABEL....how can anything or work be done properly when the employees of this Hospital speak so many languages and so many strange tongues?

It is an utter disgrace.....that this improtant institutions go so low to cut cost to enhance profits at the expense of patients and efficiency.</description>

		<description>These are serious allegation and I hope the plantiff could win and be awarded generous compensation.
I find that life in Singapore is so cheap. It is lesser a minister one year pay. What kind of life do we have as an ordinary citizen of Singapore?
CHEAP LIFE !!!</description>

		<description>Protoss, if that happens to your own family members, I wonder if you will still say &quot;mistakes happen la. i don’t think there is any intention to ko people&quot;?

Can you close your eyes for a couple of seconds and think about your father, your mother, your own loved ones, anyone that matters to you. And imagine they are the ones that are the victims? Will you still say the same thing?

If you will not, I congratulate you. If you insist on your point as quoted, I pray for you.</description>

		<description>I am sure there are many more cases that went unreported. One possible reason is the ignorance of law, of our rights as patients, dependents and a common citizen. Hospitals will pitched their mistakes as some common occurrence in administering these medical practices, so much so most people just have to accept them as gospel truth. Such is a sad state of professional negligence.

Personally, I think making the practitioner responsible for their mistakes is the only way to go, else these professionals will simply take them for granted knowing they will get away with their &#039;crimes&#039; like their predecessors did.

And on the ministerial level, whether the ministers are good or not, they must also take responsibilities. WKS got away with the embarrassing escape of Kastari, nothing is likely to happen to KBW, Education ministers of the past are also unlikely to get rapped for the mistakes that LKY admitted he had made in education policy. If there is no accountability at the top, how then can we enforce similar accountability at the executive level?

In a recently televised program in CNA, one of the doctor from the singapore medical council actually warned audience of the danger of seeking medical services in neighboring malaysia, citing singapore as being renowned for high standard of medical care, both safe and professional. Now we can see how safe we are, and in the aftermath of such blunders, minister came out in the open to give excuses for the mistakes, I can only deduced them as their &#039;reasons&#039; enough for the current influx of foreigners. What a mockery! What a shame! and WTF!</description>
