Hospital ooo Hospital

05/08/2010 mama was admitted to the hospital coz of virul fever. As usual mana la nak pergi if not to Pantai Mutiara Hospital which is the nearest to my place. Admitted on 5th and discharged on 8th August, 2010.

Apa yang nak di bual bicarakan ilah apa yang hospital caj kat pesakit-pesakit mereka. Memang kita faham yang kalau pergi ke hospital swasta memang laa mahal, Cuma jom kita tengok apa yang mereka caj. Agaknya dorang ni operate on zero cost kot, everything was charge to the patient.

Room & Board RM660.00
Use of Equipment /Monitoring/ECG/Angiogram etc. RM 18.00
Medical/Surgical Supplies/ID Band RM166.93
A & E Charges (amende ni ekk??) RM 20.00
Laboratory (Ecluding blood deposit) RM520.00
Medical Officer Procedures & Consultation (surgical/non) RM 45.00
General Nursing/Nursing Procedure/nursing Care RM119.50
Inpatient Medication RM386.90


This is only part of the bill tau… Now kita tengok itemized billing dia.

Itemised Billing:

Medical Supplies

Alcohol Swab RM 0.76
Catheter RM 26.45
Clinical Disposable RM 16.00
Disposable Bed Sheet (2 x) RM 9.00
Disposable Pillow Cases RM 1.00
Facial Tissue Box RM 1.50
Glove RM 2.00
Syringe RM 2.40 each
Paper cup RM 1.50
Thermoscan Probe RM 7.20
Disposable Pillow Case RM 1.00
Injection service charge RM 4.50
Nursing Care RM 50.00 2 x
BP and Temperature Checking RM 7.50
Use of equipment - BP Set RM 6.50
Use of equipment - Thermoscan RM 11.50

The above is only part of what was charge to the patient or in my case to the insurance company.

A small thing such as the cotton swab was charged, facial tissue box which was not given was also charged. Pillow cases, Bed sheet.. semua charged.. laundry takmo charged ke.. laundry utk uniform nurse ke..
And yang best sekali, they come to check us using the BP set tu pun charge, service charge and use of equipment. Aik… abih kita bayar duit room and board tu apa ke benda???? Kat hotel pun kalau kita guna gelas, peti ais semua takde pun dorang charge, panggil room service antar sterika atau makanan, takde pun mereka caj.. tp hospital caj segala benda.. sarong bantal, sarong tilam.. muntahkedarah betul mereka ni. ID band yang dipakaikan kat kita pun was charged… agak-agak kan kalau lenkali kita masuk hospital kita bawak sendiri ID Band tu, kita bawak BP set yang kita ada (memang ada pun) boleh tak??????

This is always the case that most people argue not so much as it is expensive, but the charges for the things that they charge….You check in, paid for the room and they charge you again for the pillow case, bedsheet and paper cup and tissue.. tissue pun takde lerrr…??????

Mama rasa .. lebih baik dok rumah and panggil doctor buat housecall, baru puas hati bayar service charge, sebab memang dorang kena keluar dari tempat kerja.. ni kita gi kat tempat dia.. bayar room and board.. bayar duit doctor, bayar duit ubat.. and they still charge us for the service when they come to give us our injection, check our BP.. what the heck man??????

Ni insurance bayar ni, kalau kena bayar sendiri .. hmmm lagi meletup bagai gunung berapi.

Padanlaa hospital swasta ni kaya.. kita jerr yang kayap.. huhuhu


oklaaaa sejukkan perasaan dgn roti ratu.. sedappppppppppp
