Kuo En Teng
My mum went to the clinic in Bedok, and the bill came up to $80+ after Blue CHAS and Merdeka subsidies! It was actually $100+ in total. That's ridiculous for seeing the doctor for just a common sore throat, flu, and cough. No antibiotics were given, and still it's so expensive! She was given paracetamol, and she has tons at home. The receptionist should have asked if she needed it, since it's such a common medication. All the medication she was given can be bought at any pharmacy. The medication provided included similar Flumicil, cough tablets, Chlormine tablets, Cetirizine tablets, Panadol, and lozenges, which cost $87.90 alone! I don't even pay this much when I don't have any subsidy. Isn't this kind of price only during odd hours in a 24-hour clinic?
