a lot of time, our work is not appreciated.

People know their rights, and people keeps on demanding. We try to understand their problem, their worries, their understandings. But they never try to understand us, our work, and our responsibilities, and our feelings.

Luckily not all of them are like this.

There are certain kind of scenario that I would not like to handle.

1. Family members who are fighting against each other.

There is one patient. And there are a lot of people. One can explain the condition of the patient first to a few of people, and the next time, some other ppl will come and ask about it, and another time, another people would come and ask the same question. And this can happen EVERYDAY. Gosh.

2. Family members who do not trust doctors.

Aiyo, if it is like that in the first place, why come to hospital? I kenot understand.

If they think their understanding are better than us, why get admitted? And questioning everything that we do and say. And questioning in a tone which is even more intimidating than those professors in the university during med student life. -__-”

3. Family member who is just a pain in the ass.

They know what they come to hospital for. They are paranoid. They jot down everything u get about the patient. They question u all the lab results. They even open the case sheets and read without authorization. They even question you things that you wrote.

And if they want something to be done, they thought it is a private hospital and you doctors only attend to them only. Anybody who is in resuscitation and distress will be less important. When you are doing reviews they say why u r not doing anything.

And on top of them, when you are all tired and wanna go home, and when you see them on the way out, they will ask you whether you are really tired of doing so many things, or just tired because of doing nothing.

WTF.

4. Family members who want the best.

They demand air con room, they demand room with only 2 people inside. They will say ‘people can pay, i also can pay, why am i not getting that?’.

They don’t know what is first comes first served.

They act like they are so so so rich.

But get poor because of private hospital charges. Irony right?

Looking at all these cases, now I kinda think that private sector is a must. If people would like to demand, they should pay for their demands. It is easy math. If you can’t wait and you can’t handle some hot air and fan, go to private, you get everything stat and everything done nicely; with a price.

It makes the transition fair. Isn’t?
