"There are strong patient advocacy groups overseas dealing with hospital infections, but none in this country. Many patients are affected, but have not found a voice to raise these concerns and help change the situation locally." Healthcare worker

"I found it very heartfelt, passionate and a strong call to action. I would like people involved in Infection Control as well as some of the medical student leaders to have read the book so they can better understand the implications of hospital infections from a patient's perspective." Healthcare worker

"As a healthcare professional, I don't always see things from my patients' perspective. It's not because I don't care or lack compassion. It's just inherent bias present in all of us that sometimes blinds us. I am glad that you have mustered the courage to share your experience and the experiences of other caregivers. This will be the start for us (healthcare professionals) to start seeing things from the other end of the stethoscope. Kudos and please, for the sake of patients and caregivers, keep patient advocate flame burning." Healthcare worker

"It has actually been a pleasure reading your book, and I am very happy for such an advocacy to happen in Singapore. It is simple, yet aptly written and you have illustrated most of the misadventures that can happen in a hospital. This book, I hope, will serve to empower the public to know what can be done if they have loved ones in the hospital. The "bad bugs" part has struck a soft spot in me, for it has been my area of interest and research for the past years.

In a famous medical journal, Lancet Infectious Disease 2007, it was stated that Singapore has one of the highest resistance rate of Acinetobacter infections (sister of pseudomonas). I have been "slimed" many a times in these overseas medical conferences, where people will come up to me and ask why is my country having such high rate of resistance? Is it really due to the tropical climate or are antibiotics allowed to be rampantly used?" Healthcare worker

"It was a great read for my Ethics and Law lectures. I have recommended your book to my nursing students." Nursing lecturer

"It is brilliantly written, highlighting much of what is lacking in today's health care system in Singapore." Nursing student

"This book is very informative and will be very helpful to the general public and family members of patients. We have learnt so much during our mum's six-month stay in the hospital. It was a painful lesson for us which we will never forget and forgive at the cost of our mum's life. We are totally disappointed with the public hospital and have switched our hospital insurance to cover high end private hospital charges after our mum's experience." Ms Lim WH

"It is very informative and reflective. I personally have experienced 70% to 80% of the book contents during my mother's six-month stay in the hospital." Mr Lim WK

"This good book should be read by all Singaporeans; especially for those people in the Ministry of Health, all hospitals staff including doctors and nurses."

"What caught my eye were the 30 doctors in 6 weeks. My young son was seen by 11 doctors in less than 24 hours when he was admitted to a public hospital. He asked if he could stop repeating what had happened to him to every doctor who visited him."

"I am very disappointed by the local hospital service (especially doctors' rude talking manner!) during my father's hospital stay followed by his recent death. I really admire your courage to speak up about the reforms required by our local public hospitals."

"If we are illiterate or know nuts about medical world, we are truly at the mercy of the medical workers. We simply have to rely on their professionalism. Dangers and diseases lurk every corners of the hospital. Honestly it is pretty frightening to think of staying there. I have told my friends and colleagues about your book. I am now circulating the book. At least we can learn what to look out and take caution."

"My family had a very bad experience at a public hospital resulting in my mother's death and I am in the midst of writing to MOH. I would need to purchase your book urgently."

"Currently, my dad is hospitalized in a public hospital. While looking after him in the ICU, I witnessed some cases where inpatients had contracted lung infections. I am worried for my dad. Today alone, three male patients had died from lung infections. I got acquainted with family members of some inpatients at the waiting area, and told them about the launch of your book. Together, we would like to buy five copies of it."

"I am very eager to read your book. I am very moved by your passion to help others and by what you have done."

"With aging parents, it is important to be more knowledgeable."
