shocking is the bad treatment that some residents say they have to endure for hours on
end to receive their medication.
…
The patients who spoke to the reporter said they were often shouted at for seeking clarity
about the queues they should join, or they were met with hostility or a dismissive attitude
if someone was in pain in the queue and was seeking immediate assistance.
[The Herald, 17 Feb 2022]
