mom op is scheduled in July, the surgeon will try to used the new method to remove the gall bladder, 3 to 4 small insertions. But if complication entails, the conventional method will be used. The new method has a quicker recovery time, 2 days in hospital and you are out. But the conventional, will need to stay in hospital for about 5 days. Also the wound recovery is also double the times needed.
So let's pray for a smooth op, without others complications and the new method is used. And of course, pray for financial provision lor..........
mom previous stayed at the hospital cost sis cash $1.3k .......and the hospital told us that for her op in July, may cost as much as $5k in cash, tat's after deducting from CPF!!!
The funny part and also the sad part was that the nurse informed us that if we choose to downgrade to the subsidised ward (class b2).....it will not be conduct by the same surgeon. A new medical officer will take over...........and if the current surgeon is free, he will pop by to take a look during the op.........
the morale of the story.....subsidies rates.....subsidies standard of medical professional care........hahaha...

You can check if your mom can claim medishield for the medical bills. From what I understand, anything above $3000 is claim ( you still got to pay deductibles and co-payment which are around 15% of the bill).
