DOCTOR’S FEE – Free of Charge

Medical expense is not cheap now.You’re lucky if you are covered by an insurance, or your company reimburse your
medical bills. Not in my case.

I went to Prima Medika Hospital in Denpasar to check my condition this morning. I have this sore throat that feels unusual, something just feels wrong. And I also have this swollen glands since several months under my left jaw I’m always afraid to check it out. Dr Arista is a young female general practitioner, she’s very nice & friendly and was so attentive to my complaints & worries, and gave me all the suggestions for a better health. She said I should avoid these following, for the next couple of weeks :

  1. Fried food (including my favorite Nasi Goreng-fried rice from the street vendor that re-uses oil for maybe more than 20 times!)
  2. Cold drinks

I could definitely skip the first one, but how could I not drink my mango juice, Coca Cola Zero with lots of ice cubes, and last but least : ice cream-my comforter!

Anyway when I told Dr Arista the kind of medicine I’m alergic with as per instruction from my parents that are both doctors, also I mentionned that Dr Arya-the senior medical doctor/Director of Marketing of Prima Medika is my friend as well as his wife, then suddenly she removed the doctor fee from my bills! How amazing is that! I only had to pay the medicine.

Another magic word to reduce your medical cost : doctor’s daughter; doctor’s friend; doctor’s wife friend…huahaha…:p  Which one is yours?

  1. It’s so true. My mom is a doctor, so I got “special price” all the time from other doctors, but I rarely went to another doctor though because I think my mom is the best doctor in the world and it’s always free of charge 🙂

    anyway, get well soon. You need to restrain yourself from eating all that “nasi goreng abang2 yang enak abisss” though. I know it’s really good, but 1 week without “Mr. Mr. fried rice” (nasi goreng abang2 mksdnya) won’t kill you, I suppose. Man…my mouth is watering now thinking about those “Mr. Mr. fried rice.”
