MMC Hospital safe? Guess what!<\/p>\n
It is not!! Hospital MMC (Metropolitan Medical Center) is not
\na safe place to go for a medical check-up.<\/p>\n
Here is my sad experience on Dec. 13.<\/p>\n
My wife and I went to MMC Kuningan where we had an appointment
\nwith Dr. Damayanti (THT). As we were registered as 36th patient,
\nwe were asked to be there before 3 p.m. what we did. We remain
\nseated in the \"waiting room\" for more than 3 hours before we got
\na chance that our number was called by the Doctor's assistant.<\/p>\n
To keep busy, while waiting a visibly very over-booked doctor,
\nI brought along some readings in an office bag and had as well my
\nusual \"hand bag\". This \"hand bag\", besides a small amount of
\nmoney (Rp 1120.000) in my purse, mainly contained all my personal
\nand important documents (passport, KITAP, ID card, driving
\nlicense, credit card, and some other medical membership cards),
\nand as well some important medical papers.<\/p>\n
I was keeping these 2 bags close to me on the next empty chair
\non my left, without forgetting to keep an eye on it as often as
\npossible. Clearly it was not \"often\" enough, when all of sudden,
\nand before getting called by the Dr., I realized that my hand bag
\nwas gone. I immediately went for assistance and help from the
\nregistration counter and security (Satpam) that shown-up some 10
\nminutes later.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, everything looks \"quiet\" and \"normal\" and
\ndidn't notice any one moving out in a hurry. Useless to say that
\nassistance from the MMC personal was none. Except the car park
\nattendant that said it was quite common there...<\/p>\n
Conclusion to all of this, my bag has been stolen and I am now
\nin big,big. troubles with all the formalities ahead of me to
\nrenew my documents.<\/p>\n
This is probably an act of a very needy person!! But for sure
\na specialist operating in this area and taking the opportunity on
\neasy targets (weak and sick people) that are more concern to meet
\na doctor than watching their belongings... Who could believe that
\n\"pickpockets\" as well operate in a place like a hospital!<\/p>\n
When I asked the MMC's management to contact all patient
\nwaiting with me the same day between 3 and 5 p.m. their answer
\nwas a no. Because of etis (etiquette) ...I only ask MMC to call
\nthem as to know if they noticed something strange around me at
\nthat time. Nothing more!<\/p>\n
