A funny take on patient attitudes.
Medical receptionist -Consultation is 300
Pt - ok.
After a month same Pt comes again
Medical receptionist- Sir you need to pay consultation fee and it is 300
Pt - ok, card or cash?
Dental receptionist- Sir consultation fee is 200
Pt - what? I just came here to take an opinion, that’s it.why should I pay 200
After 1 year same patient comes again
Receptionist- Sir consultation fee is 200
Pt- WHHAAATT??? I’m an old patient. How can u ask me moneyagain. U guys r so money minded.

Medical
Ophthalmologist- u need to wear glasses for your whole life otherwise it will b difficult for u to see.
Pt - thank u doc, u r god by the way what r the designs are available in glasses. (I’m ready to carry glasses on my face for whole life)
Dental
Orthodontist - u need to wear retainers for one year, and I’m giving transparent ones so that others can’t find out that u r wearing retainers
Pt - what’s this. After two years treatment, I have to wear retainers again. That too for ONE YEAR. This is so ridiculous.
***************
Medical—
Nurse- sir charges r separate for cleaning and dressing the wound, stitches and saline infusion. doctor's consultation is separate.
Pt- that's fine (i'm ready to pay even though all this is done for one injury)
Dental
Dentist- we have done 5 fillings so it will be 5x1000.
Pt - I thought when u said filling's cost is 1000, it includes all teeth. Now u r charging for each tooth separately.
*************
MedicalDoc- your treatment might take longer than expected. So you must come to me for two more years ( each time u should pay for consultation)
Pt- sure doctor. So nice of u, u r ready to spend so much time for me. The other doctor saw me only twice.. ( I’m ready to pay consultation happily every time I come)
Dentist- u need to come for six more months for your Orthodontic treatment
Pt- what is this, if u cannot treat within 1 year y did u start my treatment.. I will pay u less, since u couldn’t complete within a year.
***************
Medical Receptionist- sir your turn hasn’t come u need to wait
Pt- ok (wow this is a busy doctor I’m lucky)
DentalReceptionist- Sir dentist is treating another Pt u need to wait.
Pt - ok, but tell doctor that I’m waiting
After five mins..
Pt - how much more time it’s gonna take
Receptionist- sir please wait, dentist is treating another patient. I can’t disturb him every five minutes
Pt- what’s this, u guys make us wait so long, i'm very busy man. i will go and see another dentist
