First of all, I would like to ask for opinions regarding this matter.

My colleague who is an Indonesian was sent to work on my current project temporarily. He fell sick (mainly fever and sore throat) and went to see Klinik Ng yesterday. He was given 6 types of medicine (fever, antibiotic, tablets for sore throat, cough syrup, tablets for nausea and syrup called Gaviscon). The medicine were given in a small quantity (for tablets - less than 10 pills each type). He was charged RM 150.
I thought this was ridiculous and called the hospital on my colleague's behalf to ask how they came up with the figure because he couldn't speak English and Malay fluently. I was very disappointed with the nurse who answered my call as she slammed down the phone after saying "Your friend is not under 12. He got mouth to talk". She was very rude all the while but I managed to ask that the consultation fee they charge is RM35.

So did my colleague get cheated? I feel so bad for him as a doctor in Malaysia would treat foreigners like this. I am utterly disappointed that there are doctors who only care about money.

what are you waiting for then? lipot!

go to the clinic personally. Phone call ain't gonna cut it.

>Feels cheated
>Open thread in /k/
>Trolololol

Call again. Tell the nurse to go fly kite. Tell her you want to speak to the doctor or you will lodge a complaint with MMA - www.mma.org.my

SnowWhite Tan is boss.

Anyway, maybe the clinic thought her Indonesian employee is those rich one.

Malaysia, anything also possible. Don't tell me professional or not, all ppl are the same.

Please "BAND" this clinic...

There are nice people around so don't feels so bad because of some rotten ones. Just treats your friend nicely...I am sure your company will be paying for the bill anyway (claim).

TS,

dun get it wrong. FOREIGNERS are charged higher than citizens. This is their (clinics) rights.

I was in THAI n went to clinic for small problem, they charged me rm 200.

typical mahresian

Gaviscon = heartburn

RM150 very expensive... unethical

u stupid or what TS???? ur friend is not citizen rite??? theres diff in charging bills for citizen and non citizen la....

Poor Snow White. Come I become one of your dwarf. U like which drawf?

Normal lar , I brought a friend from taiwan for fever and sorethroat also .

Give lots of medicine and injection = RM135

bodo punye ts. jew ask him go public hospital. charge is higher than citizen also. ni pun nak kecoh. panggil olang scammer pulak

i was thinking about this issue too. but could not find that we are subsidized going to private doctors.

TS never travel mucho out of the country b4 huh?

Snow White should give employee apple.

Should demand to speak to the doctor. At least go complain about the rude nurse.

Want to take it up a notch? Go relate the case to the Malay Mail Hotline.

next time at foreign country, unless you were dying, don't go to clinic or hospital.

what time your colleague went to the clinic? there are clinics that sell medicine more expensive after midnight until early morning.
