At 2 a.m. one weekend, we found ourselves in the emergency room waiting for treatment for an ear infection. The wait was long, and made more painful by sitting next to a patient who was using his mobile phone to watch a show, on speaker.
To be honest, I did not know some of the entries, and was in no position to challenge if all those medicines and supplies were really used. I also could not argue why the doctor who saw us for such a brief time would make me pay almost P5,000 for his professional fees.
A friend who spent time at the hospital during the pandemic almost fainted with the cost of surgical masks charged to her when she checked her progress billing. Turns out there is one fee every time a doctor or a nurse enters her room. So she bought her own box of individually packed masks, and placed it by the door and informed the nurses to use these instead. Thankfully the doctors and the nurses agreed to use her “cheaper” masks.Don’t wait for the bill and have a mini heart attack.
