Today attended a training course in the hospital on handling aggressive patient. The speaker shared and compared sth about Australia's health care system and Singapore's health care system. He talks about how drug abusers are given the right to take controlled drugs in public and it's so common to see Sharp boxes place in the toilet for these abusers to use them. Even when handling them as a patient in the hospital is so different from Singapore.
I find it quite worrying because many problems can arise due to the misuse of these controlled drugs, such as increase risk of getting infected with AIDS, Social problems and the many harmful effects of the drugs to the body.
I am thankful that in Singapore drugs or controlled drugs are strictly regulated. There isn't too much drug abuse case, no doubt there are many cases in Singapore, but it's not as common as in some countries. Even though there are cases of abuse, these abusers will be punished by law. I feel safe here!
