Of course if we have plenty of money like some/few members here we are morethan happy having a private health care or have better health care in the phils
the thing is i'm nearly getting birth and the doctor asked me why we have just booked in their hospital on that day.. which it wasn't our fault. if we knew we can book it ourselves then we already did.
regarding the scan it was written in their letter that i'll have my scan and need to be there with full bladder. they should have written in it that if u want to have an ultrasound then have a seperate appointment...
yes is it free.. but my husband also paying it in his tax, isn't he?
