Hi guys,

Just wanna share my experience and unleash my anger about my simple medical experience with some specialist.

I had a simple and small "tonsil stones", i can see with my bare eye, but i could not get it out myself, so i went to Sunway Medical to seek consultation and treatment with one of their very re-known ENT Specialist.

During the consultation, the ENT confirmed is tonsil stone, but refused to remove it for me. Instead, he is asking me to do Tonsillectomy (in plain english, surgical removal of my tonsil). Quoted me RM8000, and keep asking me to do it. I requested him :why don't you just remove my tonsil stone first, then i decide the op in other time. But he refused. I end up walking out Sunway Medical with a RM209 medical bill without a real treatment. WTF.

Yesterday, i went to see general doctor in USJ, show him my tonsil stone, the general doctor took out a metal stick from his tool box, inserted to my mouth, and get the tonsil stone out in just 5 seconds. I walked out the clinic with a happy face and RM25 medical bill.

I just wondering what the hell the ENT has done. I have been thinking they are more interested to do lot of surgical op to get good money.

This is very unprofessional.

Yet, he is so famous in USJ and Sunway area.

Such cases can report to KKM and MMC ?

why the fuck would he remove your tonsil

tonsil is important in keeping your throat and mouth healthy

you're just gonna develop more problem after removing your tonsil

hence, more money to him i guess

First day engage specialist meh?

Of course they wanna chop you kao kao la.. They pay so much and suffer so much to get the specialist ma.. If not how to live up to the doctors lifestyle

Tonsil stones can easily be removed on your own - either you use a long object like a chopstick and apply pressure, or you wiggle around your tongue. Gargle with mouthwash first to loosen them and it should come out easily.

As far as the specialist's recommendation goes, removing your tonsils will prevent future irritation from tonsil stones. However, the tonsils exist for a reason - they catch dirt and prevent further infections such as sore throat from occurring. The worst tonsil stones do is give you bad breath, and you can work around this by just practicing proper oral care. You don't need to have them removed unless you regularly get tonsillitis.

nice smell or not?

Bro can you PM which ENT?

Cause I was thinking to bring my daughter to see an ENT in Sunway medical cuase like you say they have alot there and quite "famous"

You know at the end everything is about marketing / sales and profit right ?

You seems to have extraordinary fetish!

lol so unprofessional

Cost of living not cheap in kv u noe..

TS, can try reporting to medical board. They are the ones in charge of conduct, iinm

Had a bad experience with one of the ENT specialist from Sunway too few years back. Wife had bad sinusitis for couple of months. And this Dr just prescribe something not relevant and suggested surgery. He did scope and it was very painful. Can't remember the bill since this was covered by company insurance.
Went to Putrajaya GH to see the ENT specialist - the Dr did came scope, and she didn't feel a thing. And he immediately gave his diagnosis and prescribe a strong antibiotics. And she recovered within couple of weeks. And we only paid RM2!

not surprising really...
went to Tropicana..
they recommend me to do hearing test just for high pitch noise in my ear...
kena wallup with RM 600 for all + some B12 vitamins...
Not only that ENT did the nose and ear check for less than 1 minute...
Some ENT are not really worth it...

Last time I YOLO and use water bidet blast water straight at it. Not sure is the water dislodged it or the subsequent choking and coughing

Yet so many ppl recommend me to remove my tonsil

I was like if it not serve any purpose why does it been there at first place?

dr.koay?

sunway hospital memang like that.

My cousin broke her wrist, but they say nothing. siap exray etc also say nothing. just wrap using those bandage.

balik to her mom's place in kelantan. who is a doc, see the xray, can clearly see the hairline fracture.

damn bodoh right?

oh one more thing, they charged her rm44 per hour for waiting. so in the bill ada rm88 for 2 hours of waiting at the waiting room.

Sorry hear that, sometime see which doctor you see. I also kena it was learning doctor this doctor does alot of things I have wound on my left she does not want change my bandage until my next appointment then other doc change it for me so hard to walk with a open wound went walking without a bandage

pm you already, bro.
