Dr Cutie is only in his 50s, still young, tawag nga sa kanya "young ones" kasi yung mentors (?) nila 70s and up :P Thankfully we don't always pay PF since some doctors give free consult na. But for the ones we go to where we have to pay, it's usually P1k.

I have high respect for those doctors who go to barrios and far flung areas. Vocation talaga yan. What I meant are the doctors from small, not so reputable hospitals in the city. May mga na encounter na rin ako mga doctors na sadly e questionable ang character. I know one that gives rx for s2 drugs without having NEVER seen the patient, that is from my personal experience.

tinitingnan kasi ng mga tao sino ang mga pasyente nung doktor

i mean if the patients of a doctor are rich and powerful people, may perception na magaling ung doctor

ang thinking kasi why would rich and powerful people go see that doctor if he wasn't good

people operate on branding kasi
I agree, importante ang reputation ng doctor. Referral naman talaga nakukuha doctor, I don't know anyone who just googles their choice of doctor.
