Hello everyone!
Share lang nako kay na imbyerna akong beauty!
I had this very itchy patch on my left arm which really got worst and spread throughout my arms. It was like an allergic reaction. I decided to see a DERMATOLOGIST since taking an Antihistamine and wiping cream/ointment did NO GOOD to me or to the skin allergy.
And so there I was in this certain DERMA CLINIC in the UPTOWN area.
The DERMA came in at about 3PM in the afternoon. After filling up the patient form with all the needed details and after 1 patient she entertained, it was then my turn.
The SECRETARY/ASSISTANT came in together with me and checked the lesion too. The doctor only took a short look and directly went to her clinic table to make a prescription. At first, I thought she was only going to make me a prescription but then later on, the secretary started pulling things out of the doctor's cabinet and putting it on her table. From Soap to ointment to powder to tablets. All in all was worth PHP 3,000 more or less. But after further reviewing of said products, I already had same products at home, but only GENERIC. But actually, GENERIC named medicines with different BRAND NAMES and PRICES have THESAME EFFECTIVITY. And so, using my knowledge in MEDICINE, I opted not to take the other items except for the ANITIHISTAMINE PILLS which he prescribed me.
The Antihistamine pills she prescribed me she said were very much effective. Each pill costs PHP 30. And so I took them nalang and paid for the pills (5 packets) and the professional fee.
When I went back to MY WORK PLACE (Dental Clinic) to take the said pill, after having one with a glass of water, I read on the PACKET the following:
"SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE"
Gosh! I paid PHP 300 for SAMPLES that the DERMA prescribed me! ![Cheesy](images/smilies/cheesy.gif)
What hit me the most was that I was a doctor myself and I would never do that! Samples are samples! Samples are DEFINITELY NOT FOR SALE! No wonder she did not have that much patient in her clinic.
Mao na ang sulti na ang GABA dili mag SABA! Karma nalang mag igo!
God Bless everyone!
Hope you will not be a victim of thesame modus that I had been through!
SOS to all MEDREPS, hope you are not the distributor of said medicine!
the BLACK LINES in between which are VERY SMALL are the ones that say
"SAMPLE NOT FOR SALE"
