Okay just a quick update before I go for class at 5 later. Just now during our Intro to Hospitality Management, the head of the Perak branch campus came in. She came to warn and brief us about the A(H1n1). According to her three people have been declared h1n1 positive in the KL campus, and naturally, everyone got reaaaally worried. And then when she read out the symptoms of the diesease, woah even worse. First there's this guy from my class who has fever for three days already. Then more and more people said " A was sick", " I have sore throat and runny rose" and bla. Even the head herself was panicking since there's so many students with those symptoms and we're due to go to Penang in two days time. So, for safety reasons, she ordered the sick ones to go to the General Hospital for checkup. I think almost half of the hospitality school students went. When they came back later, they said they've been cleared since the doctor told them that they need not worry if they have not come into contact with those who came back from overseas. And this is the bizarre part. According to one of the guys who sent them there, the head of the general hospital scolded them. Why? Cause according to head, they've caused a scare there. =___= What the hell? Shouldn't the hospital be prepared to handle a large group of patients, regardless of the reason? And why should the head scold them for they're only concerned about their health and isn't prevention waaaaaaaaaaay better than cure? Let's just say if we're infected and go to the doctor, the doctor will scold us for not taking precautions right? But this one is the other way round. No wonder la now Malaysia has so many h1n1 cases. With these kinds of attitudes, they're sending the wrong signal to the public. |
