its a disgrace, as if there isnt enough profit from the vaccine alone, any how it all should be free, seeing as how the virus was given free
Sorry to hear that Fred

One reason my wife didn't like working as a doctor in the Phils seeing people who couldn't afford treatment go home without it

To be fair,the locals do have a pretty good quality of health care via government run local Municipal clinics and even hospital care.At least in Bohol.
It`s just that the waiting times can take half a day before they are seen.. (except in an life/death emergency)

The problem is many of the private hospitals here are run by greedy Chinoy (half Chinese) businessmen.
Their only priority and main mission is money unfortunately.
They are loving this Covid 19 business. Never had it so good.
As part of our bill,they charged us 10K per day for my BIL for special dietary needs for the 2 days he was in there.. He didn`t eat anything because he was semi conscious with an Oxy mask!
20K !!

I told the Mrs we should refuse to pay it and spend the cash in one of the 5 star resorts here instead...Nice long weekend of posh nosh and white beaches.

She paid the 80K because as she said,that without payment,they would not release the body for an immediate Covid burial.
