    Singapore Hospitals overflow due to citizens following leader's UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE examples.

    See bottom for example to the bad, unhealthy lifestyle examples set by political leaders in Singapore.

    Can patients go to any hospital in an emergency?

    I read with some concern the report on the Gleneagles Hospital security guard who suffered a heart attack (Gleneagles to pay security guard's medical bill; Oct 14).
    The patient suffered the attack on the hospital's premises and was duly looked after there.
    There were attempts to transfer him to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) but no beds were available till several days later.
    The incident made me wonder if SGH is the only public hospital here with heart specialists.
    If the other hospitals do have heart specialists, did SGH attempt to get in touch with them to secure a bed for the patient?
    Also, if the patient had suffered the attack at home, should his family have taken him to SGH or the closest public hospital.
    Should a patient who suffers a heart attack be taken to one hospital and to another for, say, a stroke?
    Could the Ministry of Health help the public understand the protocol in handling life-threatening cases and how to react in such emergencies?

    A version of this article appeared in the print edition of The Straits Times on October 26, 2017, with the headline 'Can patients go to any hospital in an emergency?'.

    Singapore parliamentarians need to be better paragons of fitness & health for the rest of society to follow.
    After all, all PAP MPs/ MP wannabes are bestowed by PA titles and gahmen funds for their campaign (brainwashing) activities in their post as "advisers to grassroots organisations" (in all INCLUDING opposition MP held constituencies), thus, for Singaporean population/ human resorces to be productive to begin with, such advisers also have to be fine examples of fitness and good health, no?

    "As of 2010, more than half of Singapore's adult population between 18 and 69 years old have high cholesterol, four in 10 are overweight or obese, a quarter have prediabetes or diabetes and about one in five has hypertension."

    KBW showing off his $8 urgent heart bypass to bypass life threatening levels of fat and cholesterol had been found built up over the years in his heart arteries.

    HSK sleeps much less than 4.5hrs/night, like his brain needs no rest:
    "Fellow Tampines MP Desmond Choo was also shocked at the news.
    "We've never heard anything like this. To me, he's like Superman," said Mr Choo.
    "The number of hours he works and the kind of attention span he has, it's amazing."
    The 2012 Hougang by-election candidate recalled the days when he worked closely with Mr Heng, whom he sees as a fatherly figure and source of inspiration.
    "During the by-election period, we would discuss issues until 2am and he would ask me to go home," said Mr Choo.
    "'As a candidate, you need rest,' he would tell me while he continued working with activists. When I returned in the morning, at about 6.30am, he'd already be there."

    PM LHL, too much fried wings/chendol (fatty food) or skipped sleep before presenting NDR2016/ a mild stroke?:
