Does anyone agree that the SMA's appeal to restore the guidelines on medical fees was a huge waste of time?
And correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this triggered by a certain medical professor's editorial in the Straits Times, criticizing the removal of these guidelines?
I wonder how much the SMA spent on legal fees.
And what's become of the lawsuit involving a prominent liver transplant surgeon, who charged a foreign patient a gazillion dollars, only to have him die in the end?

It all boils down to what the society values in and is willing to pay money for.
Most ladies I know would not even think twice to have a at $30-40.........
have a 'haircut' I meant.....
Wow i have to say that seeing a GP in Scotland is really expensive!!!
No lah it is Singapore that is cheap. For the price of consulting a GP in Scotland, you can go to the A&E in Singapore and get seen, plus investigations and medications.
Singaporeans should count their blessings.

Yes, precisely. A MMR vaccination would cost nearly 400 pounds.....
Do folks in Singapore and Scotland value healthcare services so differently?
I'd be very interested if someone can compare the GDP per population between Scotland and Singapore.
From my very limited knowledge of property prices, I will make a guess that our property prices back home is more expensive than in Scotland?
And in addition, their GPs compete with the completely-free NHS. That really puts it into context, doesn't it?
