Well its an insurance claim, they also wanted a piece of the pie (whatever pie that is).

Its not, kaya nga nakakabilib.

Imagine, kahit may insurance the family still grieving and emotions are running high, and here comes the doctor still charging for filling out a 1 page form.

So basically it just all boils down to business, no relationships formed in those trying times.

I agree, parang it lacks compassion.

Happy and relieved that my son is OK and he will be discharged from the hospital later this afternoon.

Your niece has a good heart

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.

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

the medical profession is a cross-section of humanity.
may good, may not good.
we try to screen the applicants, but it simply ain't possible.

this may surprise you but there are people who call or go to a hospital's info desk and ask if there's a specialist available for the day

like "meron po urologist available today?"

--

HMO patients only see accredited doctors right?

they can't choose who sees them

those are not referrals diba?
