much like lawyers, the medical community is a closed community,
they take care of their own, and much more so in Singapore, where
the circle is so small ....
even if it really was negligence or malpractice, have fun trying
to prove that, or even getting a decent second opinion ... no
doctor here is likely to testify against one of their colleagues
.... especially if the chap happens to be "senior" ....
so if you're a layman, can only suck it up and die sometimes
..... docs can tell you anything and what do we know to dispute
otherwise, neh ? ... smoke you also dunno, right ? ....
that's why I hate docs and lawyers ..... my sympathies dude.
exactly, that is why i keep myself fit and dun indulge in funny
stuff, sleep enuf and be happy. And when you really get sick, try
pharmacy to medicate your ownself first. It is so much cheaper and
works well too. Do like the west do, they go pharmacy to medicate
themselves as they hv the internet to search for and also due
to their medical consultation fee, which is very
expensive, we should do the same. But our culture had been
in pain, see doctor, sick also see doctor, cramp
also see doctor, giddy also see doctor, too dependent and
kiasee already. I find that for minor cases, what the doctor
prescribed medicine can be easily bought over the counter with more
variety too. But of cos, most of us are wage earners with a benefit
of seeing companies' doctor.
The funniest thing here is when an american fren of mine visited
me and i brought her to a pharmacy to buy some pills for her spiced
stomach, she is surprise that our pharmacy are full of hair
shampoo, beauti products etc etc and people are buyin it at a
pharmacy. Not a the case in Florida where she lives.
She told me one phrase which i will like to share with
all...."Nobody knows your health better than you
yourself do"
And also if we all, so call and influence and educated society
can self medicate ourselves like the west do, doctors are nothing
and they will treat you better.
