One about medical students attending the funeral of the free education. And the other was an experience of a patient. After going through both I kinda got the feeling that the students were not really mourning over the death of "nidahas adyapanaya". <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><img src="http://www.newsfirst.lk/english-news/Uploads/Gallery/141517074566.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />[CODE]http://www.newsfirst.lk/english-news/?view=citizen_more&id=1I am a retired doctor. I went to a private hospital in Colombo for a general checkup.It cost me nearly Rs 4000.An MBBS doctor looked at my chest x-ray and said I have a shadow in the left lung and asked me to get a Filaria blood test done and also referred me to a Cardiologist to get an Echo -cardiogramdone.This cost me another Rs 2800.The Cardiologist did the Echo-Cardiogram and said my heart is normal.He never looked at my ECG or X-ray. When I asked him about the lung shadow he said I can go to "Dr.So and So" at Durdans and that he dealt with only the heart. I was too shocked to speak.He said he could do a Treadmill Test, which again tests the heart. When I asked the doctor how much it cost he said Rs 2800.The irony is that he had already said that my heart was normal.This doctor would have got part of the money if I got this test done.I am not sure whether he realised I was a doctor or he thought I was a  fool.They are so greedy. I cannot imagine how they must be taking money from lay people.I told the Cardiologist point blank that they knew how to fleece people and left without getting the Treadmill Test (which I did not need) done.Thank you for reading this letter. I will never go to this private hospital situated in Colombo 3 again.It is such a shameless place.We were taught at Medical School to treat the whole patient and not to treat them organ by organlike they do at some of the private hospitals.
