Re: Mahathir"s stay in Melbourne hospital



Some one said he suffered from "pig flue" Is that true?

Mahathir Mohamad

After three days in the Epworth Hospital, it was suggested that I be
discharged but should continue treatment under the Hospital in the Home
service.

The Home Hospital has a full staff of doctors, specialists and nurses. They
will carry out the full hospital treatment, periodical medical examination
and treatment, intravenous drips, physiotherapy etc. They do not stay with
patients but would visit at the designated time and stay as long as
necessary.

It is far better than house-call by doctors as they can only give limited
service. You feel you are being well looked after as in the hospital, but
you have the ambience of home and family.

I don't know if we have this service or not but I believe it can contribute
to being a developed country.

Another service I experienced is the ambulance service. The two ambulance
personnel are very highly trained to give first aid including CPR, proper
handling of fractures, take blood pressure and heart rate, ECG and other
signs and symptoms.

They handle their patients very competently, are in continuous communication
with the hospital to ensure preparation for receiving the patients.

I believe an effort was made by local doctors to provide this kind of
service in Kuala Lumpur. Unfortunately after the ambulances had been
acquired the financiers backed out. The Return on Investment was not good
enough.

The Government does not operate a full ambulance service. Nor do all
hospitals provide such service.

There are now many hospitals in KL - both public and private. A good
ambulance service can save many lives.

Maybe the Government could afford to support the superior ambulance service
in one way or another - at least until they become viable. What we need is
just one. If several such service is licensed, all would be likely to fail.

You look terrible Dr M.

So after 22 years at the helm, you still did not improve the medical service
in Malaysia?

Have you visited a small hospital in this country lately?

You will be shocked at how our hospitals are being run.

Ah, good to see Mahathir on a "lawatan sambil belajar". Our politicians only
become "smart" after they retire, so full of ideas. But when they are in
power they waste so much money on white elephant projects, bail-outs and
corruption. If not we should be having these medical services already, maybe
even including private jet service too. Who is the Minister of Health
now.....hope he is paying attention....

Dey! Mamakkutty,

Malaysia is like Kerala, it's thank God if one can stay alive in this
lawless environment.

You want to compare Australia? Go and jump from your Twin Towers la, you
evil bast**d.

You didn't deserve the kind hospitality awarded on you by the Australia
staff.

Same on you, you are just a waste of earth's natural resources.
