Absolutely! I was almost about to pack up and go back to Bangalore, if I didnt find my current job here. The only reason I stay here is because I make slightly more Income savings here than in India. The day, I realize I am saving even a penny less than Bangalore, I am moving out.Aragorn2000 wrote:I know. But do you want to live there?

Multiple cases of MD incompetence of various severity. Many first hand unfortunately affecting our family, some tragic 2nd hand, simply unbelievable. Hit rate from my experience is at least 90%. And yes, some of the best private hospitals inclusive.Aragorn2000 wrote:care to explain?x9200 wrote:It would be a good joke if this was not involving people's health and life.Aragorn2000 wrote:- healthcare: with less than 1000 SGD premium per year, people can enjoy the best care from private hospitals here.
I really would like to hear more. My experience with MDs here is generally positive. But I have never had any serious diseases (touch wood) to test how really good the health care is.x9200 wrote:Multiple cases of MD incompetence of various severity.

As you could imagine it is rather long story to tell so if you are really curious it has to wait for a better occasion. More on the joke side but well illustrating some issues, I had to instruct ones medical personnel of one of the big hospitals what to do when somebody faints.
I was rather hoping that that question might go unanswered, but it's not and it's simpler if I try and clarify. I don't think it is the point itself that's somehow off-limits, it was explained as a wish that any such discussion would not risk becoming a focus of negativity, (which perhaps brings a risk that the next step is 'bashing'). Fair enough. At that time I was more trying to express the subconscious psychology of one's outlook when one is new, vs when one knows one is heading towards the exit.Aragorn2000 wrote: Why aren't you allowed to post that?
Doesn't that assume we all share your profile?

I very much doubt I can. And my late father-in-law, indirectly killed by medical negligence (with the hospital later resoundingly sued) would disagree with you too...Aragorn2000 wrote:- healthcare: with less than 1000 SGD premium per year, people can enjoy the best care from private hospitals here.
Depends. Safe vs what or who?Aragorn2000 wrote:- safety: it feels so safe here (may be just an illusion).
Hey now don't say that, and it's not accurate and not the reason I'm here nor many others.Wd40 wrote:Most regulars on this forum are in yellow fever marriages which is why they are still here.
I asked that as well the other day.

You should have tried Hk with the other 'FLITHS' instead of idling around in greasy overalls and staying in flood prone areas and complaining about the price of beer.
