This is most popular tactics among clinics in Canggu and I believe will be soon in Uluwatu. "Hi, consult with us only 150.000 or only 200.000" then without telling you the prices for medicines and procedures asked you to meet cashier. Then you face the "Moment of Truth" at Cashier. Yup $1.000 please hahahaha
This is old trick in trade. To do things patient does not need for the sake of sales. Most popular medical procedure to sell without clear medical indication? Obviously "Intravenous Drip". Ah you have diarrhea? DRIP! ah you vomit? DRIP! ah you alive? DRIP!
In many cases, drip only be needed if patient is MODERATELY or SEVERELY dehydrated or when patient CANNOT drink. Nonetheless many patient who has mild dehydration and can drink having DRIP sold to them as medical necessity
This is also old trick especially on clinic that write "EMERGENCY" in front of their door? What emergency care that I can rip off from you without your consent even though your condition may or my not warrant it? Medical Observation! As you can see below, a clinic charge medical observation as much as Rp. 800.000 for excoriation wound!
Imagine doctor saying this "Give me Rp.800.000 to stay here while I watch you grazed knee". Even worse, imagine he say nothing and ask for 800.000
Just another Victim
