My wife was 22 weeks pregnant and was in critical condition in King Edward Memorial Hospital and she asked me to call a nurse. So I pressed the emergency bell but no one came and my wife was really in pain at that time and she asked if my baby is coming now.
Then I went out to ask nurses and that my wife is delivering the baby, please come, but I recall they said I do not need to worry about that. It seemed there were two nurses free in the nurse room. Then I went to tell reception that I need help for my wife. The reception staff also went there to ask the nurses but I believe they did not listen, I asked them again but I recall they said do not come again and again. I think in my mind that maybe we are in a wrong place, where nurses do not seem to look after patients. My wife gave birth to a stillborn baby.
We have had a bad experience, you can not give a life or stop death, but I feel you are supposed to care for the patient in a critical time and also show your presence when a patient is in critical condition.
We did complain in King Edward Memorial Hospital but we are still waiting for their response,
Thank you.
