MY family was on holiday in Pulau Pangkor on Dec 26 last year when my sister had breathing difficulties.

We managed to rush her to Pulau Pangkor Hospital in a taxi. At the hospital, the doctor on call immediately attended to my sister who had stopped breathing.

The doctor had to put in a breathing apparatus and the nurses and hospital assistant had to manually pump the apparatus to help her breathe. They continued to pump the apparatus till she was put in an ambulance and rushed to the jetty where she was transferred to Sri Manjung Hospital.

At the Sri Manjung emergency room, Dr Lam and his crew attended to her and warded her at the ICU for two days. The nurses attended to her promptly (I am sorry I do not have their names). She was transferred to the ward when she was out of danger and after another two days the doctors said she could be discharged.
