When patients get impatient

Long line: Patients waiting from as early as 6am for the Penang Hospital’s outpatient clinic’s doors to open.

OUTPATIENTS, mostly senior citizens, visiting the Penang Hospital are a frustrated lot for having to wait for over an hour before they are able to enter the outpatient clinic.

Among them, S.P. Cheah, 72, said he was at the hospital as early as 6am for a blood test but he could only get into the clinic at 7.15am when its doors open.
