Hello! Does anyone know when’s the best time to switch to private route? I’m currently under subsidised route in KKH and my previous appointment made me question, if I really had to waste this much time just to get to an appointment which lasted under 5 mins.
For context, I’m 15 weeks 4 days today and I left KKH after 4 hours of doing nothing but just waiting :D hurts my butt I’m not gonna lie.
For my previous pregnancies, I was with Dr Heng at Parkway East Hospital and the waiting time wasn’t this bad (45min-1hr) so it was a culture shock for me when I had to wait this long just to see Dr to get my blood test results and listen to baby’s heartbeat. Not even a scan. It felt like I waited for so long and came back with nothing. Totally not worth my time!!! On top of that, I must have caught some virus while lingering around the hospital for hours and I’ve been feeling awful for 2 days now. Even my 18 mth old daughter is down with fever.
Enough with ramblings, I’m actually more drawn to Dr Ada Ng, a close friend of mine recommended her for being empathetic and thoughtful which is what I feel like is the most important aspect for a mummy-to-be. Does anyone know what her charges are like? And if there’s a package, how much does she charge you? I’m also open recommendations to other doctors in KKH. TYIA!
