B2 Warded in Khoo Teck Puat

B2 was on night shift and he vomited at midnight with fresh blood.  So he went to hospital and was there for observation.  I woke up at 4 plus to pee and saw the whatsapp message B1 left and called B2 right away.  Then I left for KTPH.  The doctor brief me on his condition.  He had 12 leads ECG done and it showed depressed ST segment which is an indication of MI.  So he ward him for telemetry ECG.  But when he get to the ward, a different test was order.  He needs to do endoscopy to check on his stomach.  At night, when we visited, the endoscopy was abandon as he still have food in his stomach.


Beside B2's bed is an Indian who kept insisting someone tied him up.  He is a crackpot. Then further away is 3rd where a Chinese man was warded for more than 20 days.  I chat with him a bit and learn he had a brain surgery and his leg cannot walk anymore.  He is a 36 years old daughter who is single and a son 32 years old who is married by no kids.  Both his kids refuses to visit him.  Daughter did not give him allowance either.  He is quite sad and upset.
