where?

A stranger asked for directions yesterday. We were at the hospital. I was on my way off work, and he wanted to get to the Ear Department. Hmm, thought I'd help him find his way since he doesn't sound like he could speak much English.

So looked up the directory, and didn't find any Ear Clinic. So off we went to the Customer Service area at Level 1 but unfortunately, it was off-work time hence, no one was around for us to enquire. Tried my luck at one of the clinics (where I saw some nurses still around but the door was locked since it has already been closed for half-hour). Then, they told us to get to A&E.

Oops, forgotten to ask the guy if he's in an emergency because he didn't look like he was. Anyway, to find the A&E area took us quite a while but in the end, found it.

Along the way, learnt that he's from Shandong (China), and has injured his ear a month ago, and recently he began to experience loss of hearing.

Conclusion...seems like after office hours, one needs to visit the A&E in order to get treatment at the hospital? Not too sure, but hope he got seen by a doctor after all.
