STOMPer Bryan was upset that he was not allowed to see his mother-in-law after visiting hours at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, even when he feels she needed family members to be around.
Said the STOMPer:
"Last night (Nov 19), I was at TTSH at 9.43pm and was stopped by a senior staff informing me that the visiting hours are over.
"I explained to the staff that my mother-in-law was going for an operation and sought his understanding and allow my wife and I to the ward.
"He only allowed my wife to go up and stopped me from joining.
"I explained to him about being there for someone who is in need of human touch.
"He kept telling me he understood but stopped me.
"Where was the spirit of being concerned for patients?
"I seriously do not understand why there's no flexibility with regard to such rules.
"It wasn't as though the patient was sleeping and we were disturbing.
"The patient was scared and we just wanted to be there.
"We hope the hospital will reconsider such rules."

iluvstomp3> wahaha... good answer.
antiracist > i undergo 4 x operation in my 10days stay in SGH before. i understand the feeling abt being disturbed and also the feeling of not having anyone for me when being pushed into the ops.
lovesucks> same here, and waste thing is that later i saw other visitor granted access!
bertdopod> im not there to visit someone who is resting on bed instead someone being pushed for Ops
novaman_sg> thank you so much. yup, luckily she's fine and recovering now.
hellpone> hospital rules is not a Singapore law. even if law, there's still case to case situation.
dontbsmee> yup, i understand that staff which is why i didnt f him or do anything bad or curse him. but after knowing that there's other people granted access for visiting rather like my situation, im rather pissed.
jovis.low> i was there early. but the operation was a last min thingy which i've left the place and make a u-turn. so even if i reach early.... no use.
crossair> i believe no one wanna have a chalet in a hospital for such situation. this is not being selfish. when the needle poke you, by then i believe you will understand the pain. Talk is cheap; Action is deep. wait till one day u face with a situation that rules are there but flexibility shld be given. btw, fyi.. there're VISITOR granted access by other staff and they're going to visit patients who're warded while Im not going there to pay my visit rather concern abt the operation. why this double standard?
Mailailah > yup i tried my luck again at 11.45pm (operation still on) and i was granted access by the next shift staff.
christoz_sg > im not going to the ward to make noise or to pay a visit but rather go back due to the operation.
