RE: Undue Discomfort suffered by my father

With deepest regrets, I would like to bring to your attention of the inconducive environment of my father’s ward which is adversely affecting his health in his current stay at the hospital.

My father, Mr Yeo *** ***, is currently rehabilitating in Changi General Hospital, Lobby *, Level *, ward **, bed **.

Several nights ago, my father had complained about his neighbor, a patient on bed **, of his nightly activities which had been keeping my father awake at night. His activities observed from my father include; playing computer games on his laptop, broadcasting music and various noises, which I suppose, associated with his game play like banging on the bed.

Thinking that it was a small problem, I approached the patient in question and requested for him to keep the noise level down as it is affecting my father’s sleep. The patient readily agreed. For extra measure, I had also approached one of the nurses attending at ward ** about the problem faced. From my understanding, my father had mentioned the problem to his attending nurse and possibly the doctor as well.

To date, my father is still deprived of his nightly rest which, as his son, I find depressing. My father is suffering from acute stroke and from information provided from his doctor; the main contributing factor is his high blood pressure.

From my humble understanding, when a man goes without sleep, naturally his blood pressure goes up. Under such circumstances, I cannot ignore the continuing disturbance that my father had received since transferred to ward **.

I sincerely hope that action will be taken to address the issue in a prompt and amicable fashion. If required, I will be willing to speak to the mentioned patient in person as well.

Best regards,
Andy Yeo
