In her Instagram Stories on Tuesday (Feb 15), she recounted hearing a patient scream at two nurses past midnight because he was unable to connect a cable to the television.

One nurse was left so shaken afterwards that she hooked Koh up to the intravenous machine but forgot to turn it on.

"Please remember it is a hospital, not a hotel," wrote the actress, who had appeared in Channel 8 series Mind Jumper and My Star Bride in 2021. "It's a place to rest and recover. Not party and be served."

She added: "Please place self-entitlement issues at the excess baggage counter."

In her post, she also urged her followers to "be kind and practise patience" towards healthcare workers as "clearly there is (a) manpower shortage".

"They have been working on the front line fighting the last two-plus years."

Koh said: "I don't think it's about paying them more. Money cannot buy the rest that your body needs. Money cannot buy the time you have lost not seeing your family for the festive (season) for the last few years."


Koh said: 'I don't think it's about [just] paying them more.'

Cynthia then said that she would not be describing said patient in her post, but wanted to shame him for “being so unkind to our nurses and being an a**hole to the ladies”. [2]

The 47-year-old actress, who witnessed the incident when she was hospitalised in January, hopes we can be kinder to healthcare workers, especially when there is a 'manpower shortage'.
PHOTO: Does God want us to be patient?
In time, we learn that patience is not something we do, but rather who we are in Christ. ... God wants to produce patience in us to slow us down and to show us how to trust in him. God does not test us just for the sake of testing us, but he tests us to teach us to walk in his ways and to trust in him.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
PHOTO: "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters," (Psalm 23:2)
What is the meaning of He makes me lie down in green pastures?
As for lying down in green pastures, the shepherd creates enclosures where the sheep can rest at night in safety as well as eat. In this sense, the green pastures are a place for us to rest under the shepherd's (God's) watchful eye.

What should Christians do during time of crisis?
PHOTO: What should Christians do during time of crisis?
Find prayers in the scripture and pray those on your own behalf. Praying will build your faith and help you to keep your eyes focused on the Lord, even in times of crisis. Meditation is powerful, especially for the Christian. Meditation is not some whimsical clearing of your mind.

How do you pray in time of crisis?

God, bless each and every person affected by this storm and surround them with Your love, protection, and angels. Let them know there are millions of us out here praying for them and their loved ones. We give You all the praise and glory forever, Lord, and know that even in the darkest hours, You are always with us.
