HOTA

Although i know about the HOTA act and heard stories, not stories, but heard from my friends abt ppl being brain dead, docs will harvest their organs. Its only when i see this video, i think about how our HOTA act really works and to a extend, is it heartless? According to the family, the patient was still moving his fingers and weep tears on the hospital bed intitially. But still...

Should organ trading be allowed to save those who needs to be save? How about brain dead ppl? Do other countries of world class status harvest their organs? How do other countries health system works? I be updating this post once i done the research.

For now, these videos are for your viewing. Please do visit the link in the title for more alternative videos.

HOTA Saga - Sim Tee Hua

Confirmed by both Miss Cally and her elder sister, a police officer by a Chinese name Goh, with his hand signal and clear verbal expression OFFERED MISS CALLY SIM A CHANCE TO TAKE HIS LOADED POLICE PISTOL FROM HIM, in a intimidating threat to dare this angry and agitated Miss Sim repeatedly, by inviting her to pull his gun from his holster belt.

Opinion: I do not know how true is this. But if it is true, i really feel disgusted at the officer who did that. I cant believe it. But again, if the docs in the video are even more heartless...

Shine for Singapore Bleed to Death




On Tuesday, it was reported that her husband had been told by hospital staff that if the family wanted more blood, they would have to round up others to donate some at the blood bank.

But Raffles Hospital clarified that while it is common practice to ask relatives and well-wishers to help replenish stock, it is never a requirement for blood to be released by the blood bank.

Raffles hospital it seems to be the one involved for this incident. Even though the news is 1yr old already...this type of mess up i probably believe its not the first of its type. Things happen and probably details or truth will be kept under wrap and be destroyed.
