Medical and Nursing Staff 医疗及护理人员

The team of doctors did their round every morning as early as 7am, checking on each patients. While many are still sleeping, they've already started their work day. They made assessment on each patient at the ward, looking through the records and checking on the patients. Dr E, the doctor who operated on me,  came around a few times. He always greeted each patient, and gave a firm handshake. He was ever so positive and reassuring, and always brought encouragement to the patients.  The team of very capable doctors told me that I was progressing very well. By 5th day, the last tube attached was removed. I was put on drip for 4 days, back to clear feed on 5th day. One day after, back on solid food again.

The nurses at the ward were very nice, keeping very good care of the patients. Some would joked to make the atmosphere more relaxing. They always attend to us with gentleness, care and dedication. After few days, even the most serious looking nurse started to smile and converse to me in Malay.  They provided valuable information on the care post op., diet and so on.

The physiotherapists continued their workout schedule with me. Started walking on day 3, climbing stairs day 4 onwards.

Thanks to all the medical and nursing staff for their professional care, which they did it with much enthusiasm. Their effort and kindness were greatly appreciated.
