Hello gals... caitlyn's friend here. Since you gals are on the subject of KK, thought I'd drop a few pointers:
JC, a few reasons why I will not go to KK:
1. Waiting time is VERY long... must queue to register (first appt), queue to see doc, queue to pay.... And I understand that unless you take the premier package, otherwise you also have to queue to do u/s scan, blood tests, etc, and the scans might be done by anyone, including rookie docs. This applies even if you are a private patient, unless you are on the premier package. (On the premier package you'll see your chosen gynae in a suite which has a u/s machine, so dun need to queue).
2. You pay private rates at govt hospital, feel a bit bo hua lor, as essentially you are getting the same type of service as those on subsidised rates. Might as well go private...
3. Minor point for those who intend to go for elective c-section - my colleague told me that KK is pro-natural birth and will not perform c-sections unless medically necessary.
A little food for thought. But in any case if you intend to go for c-section you should always ask whichever gynae you are seeing, whether they will perform elective c-sect.
Oh yeah... hello caitlyn... hope you feel better today! hahahahhaha
