| Time | Speaker | Event |
| 13:46 | Yim | We can't start your list (Ms Yim was talking to Dr. Ngun and referring to Dr. Lyou YT's list scheduled to start at 13:30 h) until 2 o'clock because the girls are all still at lunch because the morning lists all ended late at about 1 o'clock. |
| 13:50 | Foo | (Dr. Foo has just entered the OT) When can I start my list? |
| Loke | We can't start your list because I don't have any anaesthetists to do your list. | |
| Foo | I thought there were always two floating anaesthetists not doing anything at any one time. | |
| Ngun | I can't belief that you have an OT available with staff but no anaesthetist (Notice, that just 4 minutes ago, they did not have the staff to start my case until 14:00 h) | |
| Loke | No-lah, actually we do not have the staff. What I meant was that there weren't any anaesthetists here, now, to do the case. | |
| Ngun | Please be very careful about what you say in front of the surgeons as we get into a lot of problems because this is exactly what they always complain about when there is absolutely no truth that there is no anaesthetist available. It is almost impossible for there to be a properly staffed OT with no anaesthetist at all available to do the case. | |
| 14:06 | Dr. Ngun was asked to do a D & C because Dr. Lyou still had not come yet. There was only one staff (Salina) and in the end, they had to call Rohana from lunch and Ms. Yim to come to do the case. They couldn't even staff my OT, much less have staff for another OT (without an anaesthetist). |
