Please help me publish this as i would like to alert all parents to be aware of KK hospital Bullying Tactics.
This is what i wrote to KK hospital:
“I am totally disappointed by KK B bill dating 21 May 2013, asking me to pay for the full hospitalization bill for my son.
As I have indicated that I was under distress to admit my son for ward, based on the suggestion by the doctor in charge of examining my son on 1st May 2013. Within 30 minutes of signing the ward admission, I appeal to the nurses at ward 5 to release us from the ward as we decided not to subject our son to 3 days of ward admission.
As the day was 1st May 2013, a public holiday, the nurse Ms Karla said she will file a case for me to appeal.
Over the next few weeks I called KK multiple times to appeal against the ward fees and a gentleman David said he will investigate. I have stressed many times that I did not use any of the ward services and never use the bed at all, and to subject me to pay for 1 day ward fees due to the my decision to sign on the ward admission under distress, is pure bully by KK, as I have alerted the nurse of the day, within 30 mins, that I do not wish to let me son stay in the hospital.
As all my appeal has fallen to deaf ears, I will have no choice but to seek recourse by publishing all the facts to the popular websites informing all parents to be careful when signing up for ward admission, as there will be no way to appeal for that is you decide not to stay in the ward within 10 minutes.
Thank you, and I hope to receive a reply from you soon”
All parents do take note. Once you sign on the Ward Admission form, there is no recourse for you to cancel it, even if you cancel it, you have to pay one full day ward fees in cash. This is how KK hospital runs, all appeal will be useless as KK only care about money, so be careful before you sign.
