Shopping for a better Doctor & ...fees! (PART 1)


Everyone need to shop, as a smart consumer for delivery of cubbies (babies)...we need to ask enough question to find out all the hidden costs & charges that is going to impose on some specialist services, especially on delivery of babies...for me & cubby-angel's case, we have greater concern on the doctor that is helping us to deliver the cubbies. Therefore, we planned for several visit to other hospital for this round of visit back home.

26 MARCH
First in the Friday morning, to avoid the jam in the noon during the prayer session & the long lunch break (3-hrs), me & Cubby-angel rushed to UH, the semi private hospital (UMMC) in the morning and the full private specialist center (UMSC) in the afternoon. below is the summary of our finding:

UMMC
the Car park was extremely lousy designed, you hit the columns, wall or even other cars if skills is not that good, and worse thing is you have to turn all the way till to roof top for a space, which is 6 storey above. Then you will find that there's no direct access into the hospital building, you need to get down all the way & cross a very congested & busy internal road, with lots of cars & taxi jamming the way and you reach the main lobby, which is hidden under the tunnel which was there since the time i was born here, mroe than 30 years ago. but before the tunnel, i'm very impress with the latest touch screen large screen panel displayed in order for us to find out where is the O&G Dept, rather to wait & ask the info counter, which is not available.

we follow the direction shown on the screen but it didn't lead us to the correct location, so we gotta start asking ppl, and we got the right direction for the O&G clinic, which makes us walk a very long corridor, i guess about 100m away. We're happy that finally found this ancient piece of treasure...haha..

We want to register right away , so i approach the counter, stood there for almost a minute, looking at those ppl working inside, trying to find out who is actually on duty, but nobody cares and so i asked one of the lady & she just ignore me, then the other ask me to press for the Q number which located further from the counter. then we start to wait for our number, there's nobody before us, and it took at least 15-20 mins to wait for our Q-no for the registration, a senior personnel is conducting it, we are not allow to choose doctor, even special case such as twins, triplets & so on. So i feel no point to continue but since we're, just make an appointment on early of MAY. Now back to the registration counter, they put up a sign there, PAY RM10 cash for the registration, then i get ready the money & we waited for another 15mins, it's done...but they didn't ask for any money, according to the lady, we can pay next time when we visit...this part is the best & i love their trust on us...but end up we didn't head back for the consultation due to the poor accesibility there and i worry much this is the speed when the deliver my cubbies... cubby-angel agreed with me & we get off to shop to share this experience with our parents...

to be continued...
