I'm coming to Island hospital is because of Dr Lem Li Khen which is very nice and knowledgable respiration doctor. But all other service is terrible. The lack of awareness and careless almost kill my father , my father required oxygen supply all the time yet they give him a tank that finish when half way sending from A&E to HDU , my father start gasping for oxygen half way and screaming all the way suffering in pain!!! if anything happened to my father , your staff is a murderer. Even shifting him from A&E bed to transfering trolley also knocked on his back bone. The indian male staff in A&E attitude was so rude to patient's family.
