The woman claims that the nurse told her she was"not a Singaporean" and thus did not have the right to seek treatment at the hospital.SINGAPORE: Police investigations are ongoing after a woman became verbally abusive towards a Singapore General Hospital staff when told to wear a mask, the hospital said on Thursday .
"She refused to put on and became abusive when our staff reminded her about the ministry guidelines on mask-wearing in hospitals," said Assoc Prof Tan. In a video posted on social media, an investigating officer is seen asking the patient filming the video if she had spouted expletives at the nurse. "This is particularly important in the emergency department where there are many ill and vulnerable patients. By refusing to wear a mask, the patient had put others around her, particularly our vulnerable patients, at risk," he added.
"The hospital will not hesitate to take appropriate actions against abusive behaviour as our colleagues deserve a safe and respectful working environment," he said.
