[$80 for private ambulance??] i finished bathing at 7pm after a whole afternoon sleep.... when i went out.. my dad gave me a serious urgent face. 'Your mum needs to go to the hospital now!!' wah... i panic lo... i ran to my mum... she was really in pain lor, she was screaming in pain... and at that sight, instantly my cheeks was wet. it hurts to see such scene. my mum got history of back pain. i called the 1-777 for non emergency ambulance.... and they said i need to pay $80bucks for the service of ECONS Ambulance and have to wait for at least 30minutes...... D'OH! 4years or 5years ago, same thing happened to my mum. she got a really bad strained back muscle... so she can't move and i called the ambulance... and it was FOR FREE, thank you SCDF ambulance. bugger, they actually outsource the ambulance services to private ones. so, being unhappy for that $80(not that i paid, but my dad did).... i went up to the ambulance services counter at NUH and made an enquiry. hahaha. so they said, if i called up 995, for emergency case... its free. if non emergency case... they will bill you $150. WTF!!! so what do they consider emergency case?? they said something like heart attack la.. bla bla bla.... and its considered as emergency case. but how about my mum's case? i deemed it as a emergency case... its my MUM DAMNIT and my dad paid $80 and have to wait for 30minutes for the private ambulance! fuck the goverment's policy on the ambulance services. fucking hell. =) anyway, my mum's fine... doctor said there's a stone on her urinary tract... dunno la what it is. she have to go back for further check up and appointments. i wish her for a speedy recovery.
