Wow, that is some nice medicine he give you.

It's worth the price. Every bit of it.

2nd day. different antibiotics.

the cedax finished this morning.

i can swallow now. unlike yesterday drink water also pain.

now still pain la. but not as pain as yesterday la.

This is what i hate about Private GP.

You are supposed to write the GENERIC name of the drug on the envelope.
For example: You must not write ponstan/pain-killer on envelope. The LAW says you need to label "Mefenamic Acid with a note Analgesic/Painkiller on it.

By doing so, you can prevent cheating by unscrupulous docs and unnecessary legal issues and liabilities.

All the clinics in malaysia have the same habit of writing trade names on their envelope. f***ing enforcement is really sleeping and and not enforcing anything.

When i was a MO, i threw the case note back into a houseman's face when i see them writing trade names on my case note.

wth..why so freakin expensive ur medicine? i know that clinic, pass by everytime

You must remember that no one can question a certified MD's prescription even if you complain to authorities. They will just tell the judge and lawyers if they know more about medicine than doctors?
The price of the fees, you can't challenged them because what they charge you is always industry's suggested retail prices which they've already worked out with pharmaceutical reps.

So where is the con and unethical act involved you might ask?

You see the more expensive the drug is, the higher profit margin the doctors get out of it.
So in this case, what the doctor did was overprescribed and pushing expensive drugs to his patients. You can't say he conned you because the drug prices were suggested retail prices and his consultation fees were all legal.

What he did was hiding behind the name of professionalism. Everything he did was right, selling the drugs at suggested prices, within MMA consultation fee recommendations, etc.
More of an honesty issue.

It's like you go to a shop asking to buy a specific product. There are many brands of the product but you ask him to give you one. He grabs the most expensive one he can find since he makes the most profit out of it and sell you instead.

Maybe they think write already we won't understand anyway? Plus the receptionist doesn't look like local citizen to me.

Yup~ normal fever and kena chop like that... that time my salary not more than 2k kena chop like that.

You still can't do much if he tells you that he ONLY stock branded versions of that particular generic drug. You buy it or you leave it. He's a private GP anyway, he can tell you I only stock genuine brands.

Paracetemol, he gives you GSK PANADOL brand only. <removed> he only stocks Pfizer only etc. (just examples).

It's a bit too expensive just for fever prescription.

DU exp place yo

What I truly meant when i said generic names is WRITING THE INGREDIENT OF THE DRUG.
Eg: If he gives Panadol, write lah Paracetamol on the envelope.
If he gives Augmentin, write lah Co-amoxiclav.
If he gives Lipitor, write lah Atorvastatin.

I find most GP is f***ing llazy and unscrupulous for not labeling what are they giving.
Sometimes they just give the tabs and label it as painkiller. They are soo many painkillers out there in the market la, mangkuk.
How the f*** are the patients able to identify it.
This is NO DIFFERENT from buying street drugs from dealers. They don't label their drugs either.

In an incident of severe adverse drug reaction, hospitals are NOT able to trace back what meds this poor fella has taken since there is no label or whatsoever. So many drugs come in so many shape and sizes.
Imagine this: Patient comes in with severe toxic epidermal necrolysis or steven-johnson's syndrome, he only shows you a bunch of white color tablet but he dont wadafak was in them.

Private GPs are doing this just to protect their asses. If any ADR appears, they cannot hold responsibility for it since there is no label or anything.

boycott and spread the news!!
people's voices is the loudest ..
