Medical check up at JB

ORIGAMIST SG

Anyone got any experience? I got a friend who does this for the last 5 years and swear by it. I am wondering if I should do it there in view of the cost.. Cool

You will get rape before you got the check up.

FireIce SG

if u dun mind the robberies and the rapes, u can try

but anyhow, i still prefer to trust SG docs.
this kind of thing is not about the cost

Cost wasn't a problem to me last time, but today different leow, me and wife will get quite a saving. Anyway, mediacal report is more important lor .. but today Straits Times mentioned Malaysia hospital doctors and nurses don't wash wash hand one .. a bit scare .. I am not worried about the rape.. it's everywhere right ? Imagine the last time Singapore reported two murder in a day, therefore, is Singapore a place for murderer only .. don't flame me but just state fact.. Embarassed

BTW, my doctor mis-diagnosed my illness twenty years ago.. had I not insisted in going to hospital myself, I would had been dead long ago.. so SGP doctor can be wrong too ..

ORIGAMIST SG

TS,

i think so long the doctor/hospital you go is reputable, i don't see any wrong going.

But please consider the following issues...

1. if there happen to be malpractice, do you think you can pursue justice in a foreign country?

2. even if you want and can, do you want to go thru the trouble?

3. you might not encounter malpractice, but you may encounter a practice that is perfectly legal in another country just that you are not used to it. you will also feel "cheated".

4. you also need to consider, should anything happen to you in future, do you rather go back to that country where your records are. or you go to a local doctor that don't have your history? In asia, medical reports are not that easy to transfer.

Hi Ponder.

What you say here is really true. Appreciate it. It does knock some sense into me now ... maybe go there for food instead of medical ... Laughing

de_middle SG

even if you go there for food, do it alone or with a group of male friends, dun bring female friends or wife along Smile

ORIGAMIST SG

thanks for the advise, but I have been there with my family the last few times and thank goodness, we are ok .. thanks again .. Very Happy

If you are sick..... do you think u could tarhan to go all the way to JB to see doctor Question With High Fever or some bad cold or something...... do yu want to wait in line at the checkpoint, then wait some more at some JB clinic..... just to save some money

ORIGAMIST SG

aiyoh ... thinking of going there for medical check up only, you know take blood, stool , urine for test ... none emergency la ... last time in Singapore my check-up cost more than $500... time are bad, so thinking of saving some cost .. but worry about their standard too.. that is why I am asking brother, sister and friends here for advice ...

FireIce SG
