Private or Government Hospital?



Lately, somehow I have come across a few of this debate. Usually this would not interest me, but recently, one of my sister's good friend (whom I have considered as my own sister), referred her readers to a blog containing this debate, or rather, the writer's point of view on this matter. And I must say, I was rather intrigued to what the writer had to tell and say in her entry. I applaud the writer's stand and point of view in her entry. Very well spoken and I agree 100% to everything she said in her entry.

All you ladies (and men too!) out there should read the entry, written by Chika. It's a very good entry, and it makes you realize, to always think before you speak (or type). She highlighted 2 things there and I highly recommend that you read, just to remind ourselves things that we may forget, sometimes.

Reading all the comments thrown by other readers, I cant help but to chip in my two cents on one of the issues as well. Since I gave birth to Aydein in a private hospital, this is what I had to say :

***

chika, well said. saya setuju 100% dgn apa yang chika luahkan di atas.


memang tak dinafikan, tidak patut sama sekali bagi sesiapa untuk mempertikaikan decision seorang ibu untuk melahirkan anak di govt atau private.


namun bagi saya, ini merupakan rezeki masing masing. bagi yang berkemampuan, tidak salah utk mereka utk mendptkan khidmat dari swasta, yang sedia maklum, lebeh selesa dgn layanan yang lebeh baik. sama seperti kereta. mengapa sesetengah kelompok membeli wira atau perdana, walhal kancil juga dapat menjalankan tugas yang sama baik seperti kereta2 laen? kerana kelompok itu lebeh mampu, dan keselesaan yang lebeh.


dari seorang ibu yang melahirkan anak di hosp private dan juga pernah melalui pengalaman di klinik kerajaan, saya memilih private kerana mereka lebeh prihatin dan tidak melayan kita spt kita ini "beban" kpd mereka. mungkin tidak semua hosp kerajaan begini, tetapi pengalaman yang saya lalui semasa periksa bulanan cukup utk membuatkan saya serik dan takut untuk berususan dgn hospital kerajaan utk melahirkan anak saya. apabila saya mengadu tentang hal ini kpd kakak saya yang juga seorang doctor kerajaan, dia terkejut & marah dengan layanan yang diberikan oleh klinik kerajaan tersebut. disebabkan kakak saya seorang doctor juga, saya banyak mendengar cerita2 yang tidak enak, membuatkan saya teguh dgn pendirian saya utk melahirkan anak saya di private. dan alhamdulillah, layanan dan servis yang diberikan, sangat memuaskan. mungkin kerana perkhidmatannya dibayar, tetapi apa yang lebeh penting, ibu selamat melahirkan anak, anak sehat, dan ibu selesa.


jadi, setiap dan sesuatu keputusan yang dibuat oleh seorang ibu, ada sebabnya, juga yang terbaik untuknya & anaknya. jangan ada perasaan hasad atau jelik kpd sesuatu keputusan yang telah diambil oleh seseorang ibu itu. hak dia, rezeki dia. terpulang kpd dia.


bagi yang mampu (dan mahu), kamu mampu membuat pilihan untuk ke private atau govt. bagi yang tidak (dan tidak mahu), pergi ke govt pon tidak siapa kata salah (kecuali bagi suara2 yang tidak menyenangkan, kamu mmg patut dikutuk).

pilihan masing2. lahir di govt atau private, bukan lah issue di sini. tidak kesahlah anak yang dilahirkan di hosp govt atau swasta, yang penting anak yang dilahirkan itu sehat, dan dpt membesar sbg seorang anak yang dpt membanggakan masyarakat & agamanya sendiri insyaallah. itu yang kita hendakkan & patut kita doakan.

I Am Blessed


Decisions, choices, options!

These are the things in life which you will have to make in order to decide what’s best for you. It is important to weigh the options you have carefully. So when you finally make up your mind, you leave no room for dismay. Like those colorful delicious looking ice cream above. Which would you choose?

It’s 2.10pm while I’m writing this. I should already be on my way searching for PH Floor, 4th Wing, at Sri Pentas. 20 minutes away before I sit with poise, legs crossed, full of charisma in the Interview Room for Corporate Communication Exec position for TV3 – like I have done many times before.

But I am not in the Interview Room. I am still here in front of my lappy, writing my heart away. Yes, I turned the offer down. An opportunity working with TV3, and I turned it down. Good advancement. Bright future. Even better pay. But I turned it down. I must be out of my mind.

But I am not. I have my own reason - a very valid reason – which I am not going to reveal here, not yet. I have consulted my parents, my husband, and I am convinced that I have made the right decision. And I just have to say no.

No regrets, no no.

Looking back, I am blessed to have lived the life I live. I was given with many good opportunities but I had the option to choose.
  • An offer to work with DiGi – offer turned down.
  • An offer to work as an English Teacher for governments’ school. – offer turned down.
  • An offer to work with SPA – offer turned down.
Those are some of the good offers that I have received, but taking all things in, I chose to turn down the offers. Sometimes, it is not just about how well the company is known, or how big the company can pay you. Sometimes, it is just about your passion. And what you love to do. All of which I find in the company I am working with rather faithfully right now, the one and only Exabytes. :) Well, for the time being. :P

Someone used to tell me, don’t work for money. Work for the thing that you love. Indeed, it was one of the bests piece of advice anyone could ever given me. :)

Sure, life has got its up and down. But I know Allah is always there, guiding me, and giving His best, for me and my future.

I know, I am blessed. :)
