That is the point. Specialist are there to recommend u the most safe and complete procedure. They dont care about the costs.

Its like gng to service ur Mercedes Benz at Merc and then say dont want to follow their procedure.

but my condition is just a simple one, there is no need for any surgery.

how can he straight recommend surgery for such a simple medical condition.

it is like asking some one to cut his leg due to some minor injury.

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.

wow, 1 hour wait kena charge rm44. might as well go to GH. Pay 1 ringgit, the waiting is free. No matter how many hours.

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!

can pm the doctor name in Putrajaya GH?
went sunway ENT also. recommended surgery also.

the worst fucking doctor is this pediatrician in gleneagles. fucker only want to admit children for minor flus so can claim the insurance. IN fact, one of the early questions will be "do u have insurance?". And his cock strategy is to make mother cry like as if very serious so for sure will admit

totally agreed, this happened to my son as well.

the specialist and nurses even show me how to claim the medical insurance, you will need to stay in the medical center (doing nothing, just rest, play do anything you like) over few hours to qualify for the claim.

it is all money money money, no more real doctor.

This is how private hospitals make money to pay salary for doctors who are driving expensive BMW and Mercedes cars.

And always get second opinion from other doctors in other clinics or hospitals. Some doctors like to rip off patient's money.

For u is simple. For the specialist, its not. Besides, who is the specialist now? U or him?

There are alot of underlying factors in his decision making. What happens if it comes back, then u will also screw him.

As i said earlier, if its such a simple problem, y go to specialist when GP can remove in 5seconds?

Dont u know u specialists time is worth more than triple the GP? I already said, specialist time is very expensive. U dont go to see a specialist and tell him what to do. He is under no obligation to listen to u.

Once u step into his room, U listen to him. If u dont want to listen to him, then go GP.

Thats is why specialists are called consultants. They consult you. Not take instructions from patient. Got it?

both management not same
the general med just remove the stone on your tonsil
the ent want to remove your tonsil to prevent future tonsil problem
some tonsil stone after remove, can recur if the 'pocket' is not resected/removed
so ofcourse there's different procedure, different specialties and different cost
the gen med cannot do the tonsillectomy, its not his specialties
specialties is not cheap

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.
*
i have met few ENTs and not even one of them ask to do surgical to remove my tonsil as i keep having tonsilitis, their reason were as long as you dont have breathing problem, you no need to do removal surgery.

though it was my sinus problem that causing the tonsil to sore,once im able to manage my sinus problem, it have been quite sometime i didnt kena tonsilitis.
