  • Man Did Not Get ICU Slot In SGH Which Is Cheaper Than Gleneagles, Now Faces $78,000 Bill

    Man Did Not Get ICU Slot In SGH Which Is Cheaper Than Gleneagles, Now Faces $78,000 Bill

    Mr Thomas Lukose, 55, suffered a heart attack at Gleneagles Hospital while on night duty as a security guard, but couldn’t get a place in SGH for immediate treatment. The family wish for him transferred to the National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) because his insurance was not possible in the short time span. He had the operation at Gleneagles instead. Now he has to pay a $78K bill.

    A crowdfunding appeal by the family can be found here if you would like to help donate.

    Editor’s Note:

    It is really an unfortunate event for Mr Thomas. If he had managed to get a slot in SGH for his immediate treatment, things might have gone better for him. The family fought hard for him too while he was injured. If you feel bad for him, help lessen his burden by donating to the crowdfund.

  • False Alarm: Nigerian Woman Does Not Have Ebola, Says TTSH

    False Alarm: Nigerian Woman Does Not Have Ebola, Says TTSH

    ebola scare

    SINGAPORE – The Nigerian woman who was sent from Gleneagles Hospital to the Communicable Diseases Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) on Thursday morning does not have Ebola as first feared.

    Professor Philip Choo, TTSH’s chief executive officer, told The Straits Times that it was a false alarm and that she has since been discharged.

    “We saw a patient with a history from Nigeria,” he said, but her detailed history revealed “no contact with any suspect or confirmed patients.”

    Ebola is a highly-fatal viral disease that is spreading in West Africa, raising fears that it might spill over to the rest of the world.

    The woman in her 50s was identified as a possible Ebola case by doctors in Gleneagles Hospital on Thursday morning.

    She is believed to have flown into Singapore recently and arrived at the hospital’s emergency department with a fever. She was immediately isolated and transferred by ambulance to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
