Visit a (medical) doctor in Singapore
|||
I had a sore throat Friday morning. I thought I could beat it, but I could not. The cold (or flu) got worse and worse. Last night, I had to call the UA to delay my return trip. (The cost? US$310.)

This morning, my friend took me to see a doctor, to get some antibiotics, because I felt that my cough was getting deeper and started to hurt my chest. (Last time when this happened at home, I was put on antibiotics.)
The small clinic opens at 8:30 am, even though it's a holiday here in Singapore. The young doctor didn't show up until 8:40 am. I was the first to be treated. Somehow, he didn't think I needed antibiotics, but gave in when I insisted. He told me to finish the antibiotics, if I choose to take it. The cost for the whole visit, including six different kinds of medicine, is SG$70.95.
Cetirizine (SG$1.67)
Chericof Loz (SG$2.56)
Orphenadrine (SG$6.39)
Amoxycillin (SG$8.52)
Leftose (SG$3.2)
Fedac Co Syrup (SG$4.47)
Consultation (SG$30)
Practice Cost E (SG$9.50)
So, you can see medicines are cheap in Singapore, but the "labor" (seeing the doctor) is not (partly because it's a holiday).
