1. You have to wait a whole day for a consultation with the doctor. There are just way too many people! Bring along a magazine, wait, make that two!

2. There are no toilet paper and most of the toilets cannot be flushed. Cliché. But the wards' toilets are clean and usable.

3. Good looking doctors do exist :) But people, including the family of the patient, do not usually get to see them. It is so not like in the movies.

4. Nurses know a lot. Ask them.

5. People in the wards love to talk to everyone else.

6. A container tagged "... hydroalcohol ..." is free for everyone's use. Just press the liquid into your hand and wipe it all over you hand to kill germs. No water needed :)

7. It is pretty cold in the hospital.

8. The bed is very soft. But you may have to take the blanket yourself from the shelves. Be careful not to mistake it with the mortuary blanket.

9. There are beds in the waiting room for patients to sleep while waiting for an allocation of ward which could take hours.

10. All the shows on tv are in Malay.

11. Lunch and tea and perhaps dinner are provided for patients who are waiting for their reports and for a ward. They have to, cuz patients wait for 10 hours (exaggerated) before actually admitted into the ward.


ps: I am fine and I am not admitted into any hospital.
