Chinese General Hospitl--- Hospital FROM HELL

Please if you are going to be confined in a Hospital, dont ever make it Chinese General Hospital.

My Angkong (Grand dad father side) was confined there for almost two weeks. What we experienced from going there and visiting our Angkong was pure HELL. The nursing staff were all rude and not helpfull. Please dont enter this noble profession kung pera lang habol mo! They treated our Angkong like he was not a person in need of caring but a person that they need to "fix" so that they can get their next paycheck. Because of their lack of human respect for my Angkong the family decided to get a private nurse. But once we did this they stopped doing their job and instead made our private nurse do their JOB. What the F*kc!? She is our nurse not YOURS!
Billing out was the worst thing. Its like they dont want you to leave. Checkout was 12pm, my Aunt go to the cashier around 12:15pm because our attending doctor, who had to sign my Angkong's release got in the hospital from hell late. They billed us for another day! 15mins late and they bill you for another days stay? Thats 4 thousand pesos down their filthy pockets! And not only that. They made us wait for our bill for 3 hours. POTA we are paying, we are not a charity case and you make us wait for 3 freaking hours? IF they treat their paying customers this way imagine how they treat the less fortunate.
Then there was the blood test incindent. My Ankong needed blood. So ofcourse the best thing to do was that one of us to donate. We sent them 6 of us and ALL of them got rejected. But all of them have previously donated blood before. As one of my cousin reasoned out to the staff... " BAt ako rejected e nakapagdonate naman na ako dati sa Cardinal Santos?" The staff said without batting an eyelash " E di dun ka magdonate." Is this a correct answer of a service oriented employee? Dont management atleast try to teach their staff some good manners and people skills? Bottomline, they dont want our blood, they want our money.
So if ever you need to go to a hospital DONT LET IT BE CHINESE GENERAL HOSPITAL. My family have stayed longer in a Hospital before namely Cardinal Santos Hospital and we never ever got treated this way.
So to the management and staff and the security guards and nurses there in CHINESE GENERAL HOSPITAL, I only have one advice for you all: IF you ever get sick and need medical attention, give yourself some respect and DONT confine yourself there. You might want to punch and kick yourself.

  2. with regards to the blood donation, you have to realize that just because someone has donated blood before doesnt make them viable donors to yout angkong. There are other factors to consider like if the blood type of the donor and your angkong is the same. did you ask the reason why all 6 were not accepted?
    if the way your cousin reasoned out to the staff in charge was said in a proper or non argumentative manner then there is no excuse for what the staff did, however if it was said otherwise you have to remember that they are only human and are prone to make sassy comebacks like the rest of us. you wont believe the number of times i have wanted to yell at seemingly know it all relatives of my patients.

    Thank you for your comment. I know about blood types and others. We were donating not for my lolo but for a replacement of the blood they are giving him so blood types are out of the question. As i have said we have stayed at other hospitals and I have never heard anyone of my relatives being treated this way. I have friends who are doctors and I know their reactions to know it all relatives and Im sure they will never treat their patients this way because they love their jobs.
