by right FPP doesnt mean  able to cut queue

however,FPP runs on a separate list from normal elective cases.

and, FPP patients are fewer than non paying patients. so theres literally a shorter queue. coz you only queue with other FPP who are logically fewer than those who dont have the means to pay for FPP treatment.

therefore, in practice, FPP can get earlier treatment.

No not that way. U r given a choice. From previous experience, u cna choose to be private or government. If private u get more say as in op date, which specialist to attend to u which specialist will do the operation. Whereas non paying will be mos or housemen seeing u, doing the operations , after discussed with said specialists.

PPUM and PPUKM are considered "semi private". The patients there are also full paying patients but are not the same FFP as in the Ministry of Health hospitals. PPUM and PPUKM are also training centers for Masters and Housemenship, so patients can be attended by Specialist, MO or HO. I have not heard of such warning letters as such as it is meant for the patients to be attended by MO and HOs, Ofcoz the specialist will be monitoring them, just as in government hospitals. The only difference is these centers may have slight higher quality of treatment as their Medical Officers are usually the Selected Masters Student to be specialist in the future.

But speaking of the other hospitals that provide FFPs, there has been ALOT of time where the specialist will order the MO/HO to attend to the FFP patient first. I find this ok IF the specialist is genuinely busy (eg in the middle of surgery), but there has been times, where the specialist are just lazy. But if it is such the case, patients can provide feedback and can request to change to another specialist.

i agree.

i think we should penalze people who use healthcare as a result of their own foolishness.

e.g kids who ride moto and get brain injury from accident. all this should be paid by their families rather than taxpayers money.

in the meantime u all barking up wrong tree claiming docs shouldnt ask for more money.

in the UK doctors are paid so much higher ,and work so much less, but they still do protests and shit.

So the rich will have to pay. Define rich. I don't qualify for BR1M but I can't afford private healthcare either.

partly correct. cases that need to be seen by specialist/pakar of course still be seen by them but expect huge backlog/setback. how can HO do operation kan??

it is just that i think if you have money can get faster treatment but the non peak/ holidays bit were confusing.

U ve phrase it in another way.. but unfortunately it is happening.. Not all cases are elective, may i remind u. Im not making this up.

Once a hospital has "FFP" they tend to give priority to them.
I ve seen it happen everyday... Eg, the emergency OT is used for FFP patient for an abscess while another patient with acute appendicitis will have to wait until next day with the reason "No OT available", or an MRI appointment for a patient with brain tumor gets a 2month later appointment while some FFP person gets his appointment next day at 8am for an MRI spine for back pain, and all the non-ffp patient who were given 8am appointment have to wait.

But there will be issue why nurse, Ho, MO who attend to the patient don't have kickback especially when they did all the dirty works

At least in private,  nurse have 2-3x the salary
