Hong Kong – Princess Margaret Hospital makes public appeal to help locate missing patient
The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority：
The spokesman for Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) made the following appeal today (April 1) regarding a patient who left the hospital without prior notification:
A 94-year-old male patient with dementia, accompanied by an old age home staff, attended the Accident and Emergency Department due to right wrist fracture yesterday (March 31). Medical treatment was completed at around 5pm. While awaiting non-emergency ambulance transfer service for discharging back to old age home, the old age home staff left and notified AED staff to arrange the patient to wait at AED at around 5pm. When the non-emergency ambulance arrived at around 6.20pm, the patient was found missing. Hospital security guards were mobilised to search within the hospital compound. PMH is very concerned about the incident and has reported to the Police. The hospital deployed security guards to search for the patient again today but still in vain.
The patient is about 1.5 metres tall with a medium build. He wore a deep grey top, deep green trousers and a pair of brown slippers when leaving the hospital.
The hospital appeals to the public to contact Cheung Sha Wan Police Station at 3661 1644 or call 999 if they know the whereabouts of the patient.Margaret Moschak Pens a Gripping Memoir “My Alcoholic, My Love” to Reach Out to People Living With Alcoholic Loved Ones
The author presents a powerful narrative on how one can say no and break from a toxic relationship involving alcoholism.
My Alcoholic, My Love reveals the grim reality of life in homes torn apart by alcoholism the untold sufferings and miseries that families have to endure from alcoholic loved ones. The authors story is a gripping story of a wife who crumbled under the weight of her husband Rogers alcoholism over the years.
The signs of alcoholism were always there, Moschak wrote in the chapter A Fools Paradise, but I was too blind to see them, even though Roger and I dated off and on for over five years before we married.
She continued: Roger usually drank to ease his way. He needed alcohol to get through social situations, and he often did become more pleasant and relaxed once he had that first drink. In my admiration for him, I managed to ignore the reality of his drinking.
But then, like most at that time, I knew so little about the gradations of alcoholism. An alcoholic was a bum lying in a doorway in the bowery, not the man I was dating.
By sharing her story in My Alcoholic, My Love, the author gives the suffering spouses and their families a much needed voice. By breaking her silence, she reveals to the world that families of alcoholics are victims as well, also needing rescue and comfort more so than their alcoholic loved ones. Moschaks story speaks for the many individuals some of them ashamed of being enablers of their loved ones drinking habit who care so much for their alcoholic loved ones and finally find the courage to say enough.

The following is issued on behalf of the Hospital Authority:
The spokesman for Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH) made the following announcement today (December 11) regarding a case of cardiac patient:
A 57-year-old female patient was sent to the Accident and Emergency Department (A&E) of PMH by ambulance at about 5.30pm on December 4 for chest pain and epigastric pain. A&E doctor arranged electrocardiogram (ECG) and chest X-ray examination for the patient. Anti-angina drugs was prescribed to the patient. The patient was then transferred to the medical ward at around 8:00pm for further treatment. Her vital signs were noted to be normal.
At around 11.50pm, an on-call doctor reviewed the patient’s clinical condition, prescribed antacid for her epigastric pain and continued the monitoring. As patient’s discomfort did not improve and she vomited, doctor prescribed intravenous antiemetic treatment. The patient was conscious and did not report any discomfort when assessed by ward staff at around 4.00am on December 5. Ward staff reviewed the patient’s vital signs again at around 6.00am and found her to be unconscious and in cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed immediately and resuscitation drugs were given. The patient eventually succumbed at around 7.00am.
PMH is very concerned about the case. The clinical team interviewed the family of the deceased on December 9. The hospital extended its sincere condolence and apology to the family for no connection of cardiac monitoring devices and arrangement of CT examination. The hospital will review and suggest improvement actions on these areas.
The case has been referred to the Coroner and reported to the Hospital Authority Head Office. PMH will continue to communicate and render support to the family as far as possible.
