Not really, I have experienced myself on many occasions,
private healthcare in Singapore is more competent than public.
Afew months ago, I had a viral infection, ended with a swollen
lymph nodes. I went to a private GP on the first occasion was
prescribed with augmentin, it didn't recover. So I went to a
polyclinic, I told the doctor about my swollen lymph nodes (even
pointed it out to her with my fingers), she told me she can't feel
it, I had to point to her a second time.
In the polyclinic, I have encountered another case where a
doctor gave a wrong prescription to the pharmacist, I overheard her
talking on the phone with the pharmacist when I was in the room,
apparently she OD the patient 10 times, 0.5 tablets was written as
5 times, luckily the pharmacist noticed the error.
Once I took my dad to SGH because of his arthiritis, the first
senior specialist we saw said my dad doesn't need an operation
because it's a minor case, told my dad to take some test and look
for him again after the test. My dad went for the test, came back
to the room, the senior specialist was attending to another
patient, so we saw another junior specialist. This junior
specialist told my dad to go for an operation, then I said your
senior consultant said earlier on there was no need for operation,
then I requested to him that I want to see the senior consultant
because I think he is more competent.
