Poor friend and her daughter

Last Sunday, i called my friend, Jane to shop together at Gurney Plaza as there is a big sales at Parkson. Jane told me that she has no mood to shop, i wonder why as Jane is a super-shopper..Well, Jane told me a case that happened to her daughter, Lina..

According to Jane, she had a bad experience in the Jln Bagan Jermal (opp Indian temple, beside Eden cake) Hope clinic. A Dr. Chew (senior dr) saw Lina and told us that her lips area ligament was torn, and have to apply some cream & must take anti-biotic. The very same Sunday night after taking her medicine & applied cream, she cried later and vomited. And the remaining of the night, she cried for few hours until slept. The next Monday morning, she had no voice. Jane took her to Adventist on Mon to check up again. Showed the new Dr the medicine prescribed by Dr Chew. The Adventist Dr said the anti-biotic given was very strong (not for children) and was to treat for kidney, and side effect was vomiting. And the lip cream was a steroid based. Both prescriptions were WRONG. And this Dr Chew charged RM80 for it.

Later Jane found out that the doctors in this Clinic has a commission for every medicine they prescribed. Really cant imagine that such Dr is really no ethic, He merely making profit rather than treating Lina..
