Dr Susan Lim asks - Is it an offence to be expensive?
- Thread starter MarrickG
- Start date
When this case is over, there is only one set of winners - the lawyers.
How can it be daylight robbery when the patient personally asked for an 'expensive' private doctor to be in attendance?
Dr Susan Lim's on 24 hr standby and her expertise is worth more than $24 million. To the patient, she is God in her eye. If you can pay and you want the best and most expensive money can buy, dun be a cheapskate later on!
In normal business transaction eg buy house, the customer decides whether or not to buy a product for a price. Customer is 'king'.
In healthcare, patient (customer) is in a completely different emotional position. Patient with cancer spread all over is like someone with a death sentence, maybe with lot of torture and pain before death. Doctor can possibly 'save', extend life or at least make it bearable. Such a customer is no longer 'king'. Such a person may be willing to do anything, pay any price, ignorantly ask for the impossible.
Can such patient be treated like a normal customer by a doctor? What safeguards are there that a doctor does not take advantage of this situation? The Medical Council would not be doing their duty if they do not make sure of this. In fact, they have already cocked up the first round.
If the good doctor has done nothing wrong, then it is very simple. There are many cancer experts all over the world. Many celebrities have had cancer, including Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, PM etc. Just get a few such experts to go through all the steps she has done for this patient, the price, and stand up and say for the record that they are perfectly reasonable. Case closed. But it clearly doesn't look so simple....

It's expensive to you and me but to the Brunei royal family, it's peanuts. So everything's relative.
Oh really, then why the PAP government let some kidney patients die when they could not afford dialysis? Why the PAP is selling drugs at such a high price?
We should look at one old fart self appointed Mentor Minister taking in $3.9M pay check doing nothing but forecasting.
And forecasting nothing accurate LOL
Anyway back to that Dogtor Susan case. She's nothing but it greedy bitch even if she accurate in her medical. How can anything cost $24m? I think $24m can build a whole hospital LOL

Dr Susan Lim is so unpopular among the doctors and their clinic staffs in Mt E Hospital. They simply can't stand the bitch's snootiness!
Every morning her clinic manageress has to wait at the main entrance of the Mt E medical center for her to arrive in her chauffeured driven car
to open the car-door, carry her brief case and walk behind her to their clinic.
When she married her keling kia husband from City Bank, about 60% of the invited doctors from Mt E refused to attend her wedding dinner.

She should just build her own medical centre.
Better still, go and get her own island and build a palace there.
If she managed to bag away $25million and run free in the name of commercial dealing. Next time Singapore noodle stall will charge $1000/plate of noodle out of commercial reason or all surgeons in Singapore will want more from the patient in our already high cost of livings.

Here is an interesting parallel. When TT Durai was in private practice at a law firm in OCBC building, his chauffeur carried his bags and even pressed the lift buttons. And mind you the lobby was crowded. The same chauffeur would also fetch home cooked meals for him everyday. His father was an ordinary PSA clerk. Illusions of grandeur.
But Sir Durai was anointed by the Venerable Mrs GCT! Everyone *knows* a knight needs squires to tend to personal needs.
Is she highborn? Or just another peasant (Ha!) who got rich in her trade?
I can see why the manageress was upset. Bag carrying is a NS/maid thing & not something for an assistant to do
