Yesterday on the newsaday headline, a doctor charged an oversea patient SGD$450K treatment fee a day in singapore. I was like "wow", they can buy a apartment everyday with the treatment fee. The doctor is now under the court case for further investigation on the charging fee.
Come to think of it, indeed, singapore doctor fee had increased quite abit this year. Janelle KKH's consultion was used to be about $70 one time, now they are charging $80+.. and soon, GST going to increase from 7% to 10%.. there would another jump in the fee again. wondering why doctor fee has government tax?? Sick already very sad, still need tax on sick and sad people.. haiz.
Just this week, Janelle had high fever, then cough.. brought her to see a family doctor not those PD, it costed me $49.. and then my maid had a viral inflection too, brought her to see the family doctor and costed me $44 and today, having very bad flu and was just prescript with a flu tablets and that's costed me $47... and janelle went for 2 therapist this month and there's goes my $320 to the rich doctors.
