The care and warmth that my 80+ year old father received when he was admitted to the hospital in late February were amazing. The doctors provided me with updates and explanations regularly. They were understanding and flexible with my schedule. This was critical as it enabled me to make informed and prompt decisions for my father. They ordered only the necessary tests, mindful of the stress it might put the patient through and balancing that with the medical costs. The doctors collaborated closely. They were always aware of what the other doctors had been doing for my father. I could tell they frequently discussed my father amongst themselves. Dr Shamala Rajalingam, Dr Lam Kai Huat, Dr Chong Chee Seang, Dr Leong Chee Loon and Dr Thye Yuen Lin – Thank you! I'd also like to mention the team in Melor Ward. All the nurses that I spoke to seem to know my father's case by memory. They were able to answer most, if not all, of my questions. The handover between shifts was seamless. The nurses took good care of my father. The grooming was complete and regular. They even took care of his skin dryness with topical applications. They also helped lift my father's mood. They talked and joked with him. My father laughed quite a bit during his stay. The team in the Melor Ward was fantastic! Finally, I'd also like to mention the physio team. They demonstrated good judgment on the types of activities that would improve my father's condition. Activities included those that help his strength, as well as his mental alertness.
