There are no hopeless cases here.

3. Best day to go here in Singapore is on a Sunday so you can settle down in your hotel. 4. Do fasting (6 hours no food, coffee or candy so can do a blood test, pet scan and other procedures) on a monday morning, Doctor Ang will see you and orders laboratory exams to be done. Clinic is at Level 2 of Mount Elizabeth Hospital. The following day, you will have diagnosis and may start treatment already. Laboratories here at Mount Elizabeth Hospital are fast and efficient.
