SAD

Reading from the Star about the sudden death of the late Izi Yahya an actor who usually acted the roles of villain died at the age of 42. It was a sudden loss to the entertainment industry in Malaysia. It was reported that he had a fall during a shooting of a documentary called 'Darurat' (Emergency). The report states that he was send initially to a clinic in Mantin and then send to the Seremban Hospital and subsequently rush to the Sultan Aminah Hospital in Johor Bahru as there were no specialist. This is unwarranted. My deepest condolences to the family of the late Izi Yahya.

What angered me most was the inadequacy of medical attention in these government/public hospitals. The death of Izi would not had happen if there is a specialist at the Seremban Hospital, as he requires immediate surgery for brain haemorrhage. To make things worst, there are none at the KL, Selayang and Sungai Buloh hospitals nor at the University Malaya Medical Centre as reported. I am so shock of such a revelation. The medical industry in Malaysia is such a pathetic state. Something has to be done to improve the quality of medical condition of our country.

Now my second comment would be what about the private hospitals. The private hospital must also be responsible to the society at large and not give in to the demands of money as life are always more precious than silver or gold. Why didn't the local private hospital respond to the call of emergency. What is happening here?
