.. here's one line that i can't forget in chong hua. When my son was admitted, the nurse gave us the SOP questions of WHAT IS YOUR NAME, OCCUPATION ..blah blah blah .... but one thing that really annoyed me was this question
..
DO YOU HAVE A CAR ?? DID YOU COME HERE BY TAXI OR BY CAR
...
.. what the heck is the relevance of that question to medical practice or to the case of my son

Are they trying to see if we can afford to pay our bill. If we answered NO, will they deny us admission

It was my sister who was dealing with the nurse, by the way, my sister is a dentist, im an optometrist and my mom is a nurse, so we know all these medical BS.
..Anyway, my sister answered angrily
" why?? does it matter ??. and she started lecturing the nurse about medical ethics, it was really a funny scene. The nurse went pale and gave us all the necessary documents for admission.
.. point is, what choice do we have in cebu if we get sick

CEBU DOCTORS and CHONG HUA only. These two are the only decent hospitals in cebu. And it's always the case that when doctors see you as being "ignorant" to the field of medicine, they will capitalized on that ignorance and give you a lot of unwanted and redundant test just to get the bill up. It's sad but true.
.. my only suggestion is when a member of your family is admitted to a hospital, constantly ask the doctor what a specific test or exam is for and if you have time, and you should find the time for this, research on that test, know more about it. And if you know the case or diagnosis, read all about it, so that when the doctor sees that you're knowledgable, they will refrain from giving you all those nonsense test.
.. and as for this case
.. go and file a medical malpractice against the dentist, it's the dentist's freaking fault. As ugly as this sounds, but im not siding on chong hua, but you should be thankful that they did check your father, but, what's really is insulting and shameful was they need three doctors to find out the problem of your father... and on top of that, the three doctors never agreed on each other's diagnosis, two against one so to speak. They should be ashame.
