Is he a smoker..?

My condolences

My condolences.

take care TS

Sorry for your loss..


Get a professional medicolegal lawyer advice if you want to pursue it.. be prepared with lots of money.

But from your story, I doubt it will go anywhere. I work in medical line, and what HKL did to me seems like a standard procedure. ICU are packed, beds are limited, and turnover rate is high. If they see patient a bit stable, they will discharge the patient to normal wards.

Last time my late mother, in IJN for heart attack, was in ICU. But later stable, then move to normal ward. But then she passed away in normal ward.

These things do happen..

mani lah. what else

Sorry for your loss. U need a strong basis as things like this is unpredictable..if the Doctor in his professional opinion & data AT THAT TIME say your father was ok and u also said your father seem ok..then how to prove negligence..unless u can get medical report that contradict the doctor's action.

Condolences to your late mother

Well if already stable without need on high oxygen saturation, I don’t think need to keep in HDU. With CAT5 covid, possible its complications worst than covid itself for example heart attack. Anyhow, condolences to you and family. How old your late father was? And any comorbid?

good luck fighting with insurance company for money

wait for post mortem report result i guess. decide from there.
also you can lodge complain for gov service via SISPAA, google 'sispaa kkm'

Why nobody stay with him in hospital?

Mine similar case.

Admitted due to covid stay icu and had to use ventilator.
After awhile dr say turn off ventilator coz getting better can talk and move abit.
Suddenly next day dr say condition worsen back on ventilator and got kidney infection until need to do dialysis.
After few days dr sy not good already body cannot tahan and resuccitated few times.
Then gone liao.

Im thinking hospital negligience cause infection kidney failure.
But later read macam covid may cause that too.

Want to ask lawyer but gonna cost money even before start investigate.

First, need to ask yourself, what is the purpose of suing him? As revenge? Or to get him out of job so no people suffer similar fate? Or for money?

Next, you need to understand, regardless of what you do, your father will not be coming back (sorry to say this). So your time will be better well spent with your family members especially your mum if they are having problem coping with the loss.

i assume more into "justice" or self-assuring

many people will always look back what could be done at that time so he could have different ending

I have been there and have that same mindset but decided to let it go as there was no fault with the procedures from the doctor

Correct Answer.

He said 60 years old on 1st page

There are 2 scenarios that can play out.

1 ) Sue and lose because gomen/doctor followed procedure

- You lose time + money. Overworked and underpaid government doctor lose time + extra stress.

2 ) Sue and win X money

- You lose time + MAYBE gain money ( As lawyer costs might be higher than what you win ). Overworked and underpaid government doctor lose time + extra stress.

Up to you to sue, but if scenario 1 plays out, you probably fucked some young person thats helping 1000s of people per year for very little pay.

But judging by the fact by your statement ( us as a family are unable to accept this ), I think even if scenario 1 plays out, you/your family wouldn't care and would still blame the doctors/legal system.

Also as your dad is old, and if he has pre existing comordities ( Other diseases ).. well don't know la.

When covid was rampant last time, the government prioritised saving young + healthy people instead of old + comorbid people.. dunno if its that bad again..

this

i can feel ts is still unable to cope from the loss hence having this thought

spend more time your family members first, once everything is settled and the mind is clear, u decide again whether this is the correct action to take

ts said his father got comorbidities
just did big surgery

even private hospital dont dare to take

Honestly, thats one of the main possible cons of gov hospital, anything related to negligence can happen

Even a simple screw up by nurse or doctor, its very hard to prove it... 1 life could be gone just like that

I had experience like wrong medicine given, unclear instructions, etc
