Horrible experience @ Columbia Asia (night shift doctor)

I am aware hospitals (either private or public) in Malaysia are all the same, but the experience in that evening is consider ‘bad’ and ‘horrible’ with a hospital that mentioned it’s ‘mission’ is patients always come ‘first’…
My mom has an emergency situation late in the evening (around 10pm++), and the nearest hospital is Columbia Asia, so we go to CA for consultation. When we go into the consultation room, the doctor ‘show’ us his first YAWN even before he starts to ask us ‘what’s the problem’. After we tell him the problem, he starts to YAWN again, the lean back against his chair, called for the nurse for urine container, and YAWN again, and off he goes trying to meet his sleeping bugs. After a while we go back in for consultation again, he keeps yawning until me & my mom look at each other…and we look at the nurse…
wishing that we could get out of that room fast…because we believe we won’t be able to get a good conclusion with his yawns like that…
It’s really unprofessional for him to show us that he’s dog tired and let us know that he needs some rest too maybe…also I don’t know what time his shift starts…but isn’t he suppose to get prepare himself if he knows he’s on night shift? Or maybe he has to work 24 hrs a day and just because that’s his ‘part-time’ job he doesn’t have to treat it seriously? CA should look into such doctors’ behaviour… RM83 spent for nothing…

his name?

pls mention it…kasi semua olang tau mah…

whats the emergency?

i remember sending a friend to the hospital high fever in labuan… the night shift doctor said, “the next time you guys want to send someone to the hospital at this hour, the patient better be half dead!”

its because the hospital actually only receives emergency case ie. accidents, bone fracture etc etc sorts of case during mid nights… thats the real emergency to them… fever and sorts… if they are busy… they would just ignore it…

List out the name of the doctor la?

  1. Non Critical Cases.
    All walk-in and stable cases. 3RD

  2. Semi-Critical Cases.
    All hemodynamically stable cases but are unable to walk. 2ND

  3. Critical Cases.
    Critically ill cases requiring urgent treatment. 1ST

columbia always have problem, unprofessional and i agre with ur point. miri city hospital better than it. if compare.
columbia sucks

ya lah what is the emergency?

go MCMC…i thnik best hospital in miri.
once my grandma go surgery there.
After the surgery,she is resting in her room.
we go visit her…we are wondering wad “string” is it from the ceiling and when we pull it,it is the emergency things ang 6 nurses rush in…
6!!

lol…

MCMC is consider the best among all in Miri… Columbia sucks… Many patients die there… My sis go general because food poisoning but still aint getting better, so go Columbia simple check up with medicine already hundred plus… After one week still not getting any better then go MCMC… MCMC stay there 2 days only already healed. My mum’s friend went for emergency there terus “ngai”… The nurse accidently injected anesthetic or what into bloodstream then she never woke up since then… Then most emergency cases they like to send to Norma… :?

i’ll be the 3rd person asking, whats the emergency?

those things that normal clinic cnt help much.
deep cuts till can see bone,non-stop bleeding,bubble come out from mouth and so on.

No… what they meant was TS emergency case… He didnt mentioned what emergency…

MCMC is good.

Columbia asia… No comment LOL.

So far so good to me.

MCMC good? Why I got heard peoples said a lots patient dying there caused of the surgery… I am just a listener don’t know true or not.

Bloody urine…if that’s what many here wanted to know…but my main point is on the Indian doctor…his so called professionalism is not acceptable to “me”, that’s all…if one keep yawning and acting sleepy in front of patient, I don’t think the patient would have much confidence in him…

my two kids, i always rush there , like midnight wakes up crying constipated or the one times my two years old rush to see papa coming home but tripped and flew headlong into the gate and suffers deep gash on the head or the times my two years old swing a made in china toys and caused a deep two inch gash on the forehead of the 5 years old one. the doctors there did a wonderful job of gluing the cut instead of stitching and today the scar is almost invisible.

yes at times we do come across a yawning doctor or two. they are human too, maybe over shifted or whatever. we give them the benefits of the doubt and always observed their diagnosis and medication given in the end . just because a doctors keeps on yawning does not means that their judgment is impaired but it does cause uneasiness in patients. maybe columbia asia should do something about it.

i myself gets the impression sometimes columbia asia is only concerned with dealing with offshore oil and gas clients, and with those who pays by insurance or credit cards but my impression could be wrong. at times i have seen people bragging so much that their children were delivered in columbia asia or surgeries done there and cost them 10 of thousand of dollars . later on i found out it was paid for by insurances or the companies they worked for.

alot of ppl happen to die there cos ppl whos is dieing trust the ability of mcmc and rather go there then columbia asia. Its just fate, alot of ppl die there cos alot of ppl got there too ,understand. If hospital ppl go there and 100% will live i surely think that you wont afford to pay it too cos rich tycoon all over the world will come over for treatment and you wont wanna know how much $$ they bring over

More deaths doesnt mean its = bad hospital…

The doctor is also human… its at night… I guess he’s darn tired lol… For keeping on yawning… LoL…
