My father died last February d/t oropharyngeal cancer, I have already accepted my father's death because my dad had battled with his sickness for almost a year already and I don't want to prolong his pain anymore. But I can't help thinking about what happened in the hospital where he was confined, the nurses are just dumb! They didn't monitor my father's blood glucose that's why it dropped to 17!! and it was too late when they try to give glucose! Now are there anyone here who experienced the same thing as I did? For those who are getting medical treatment or have a family member who is, please learn how to ask the doctors or nurses about the treatment process. Be involved! It is your right!

Sorry for your lost. Did you filed charges on the hospital and/or medical personnels involved? They might be repeating the same mistakes as they did to your father. These issues should not be taken lightly as the life of the patient is at risk. Hope our medical practitioners pay more attention to these details as there are lots of reported medical malpractices lately.

we did not file any charges anymore.. Let karma do the job.. Besides, it will cost us a lot of money..
