It's so true that people can be sick without showing any symptoms. My mum had cancer and we didn't know.
It was almost late even the doctor said it's infection.
General hospitals are something else, after it was discovered that it was cancer, the doctors still played with my mum's life because she was on NHIS.
They knew they wouldn't get anything from the operation because of the health insurance, they continued to postpone her appointment every two weeks until we booked an appointment in a private hospital.
If we had waited one more day, I'm very sure it's RIP we would be saying.
I believe the doctors are competent but most of them including nurses lack empathy.
