MY Sahara Medical Centre Experience

I have been suffering from tonsillitis and fever for the last few days so Yesterday i decided to meet a Doc... it was a Friday and not many medical centers were open... The appointment that i made didn't work either !! So i decided to go to Sahara Medical Center which was near to my FLat !! As i walked in to the center it was around 7 in the evening and there were only 2 patients waiting... I went to the receptionist guy and told him that i need an appointment with a GP ( General Physician ) He asked me to wait and when the wait crossed 15 mins i decided to walk out ... I got up from the seat and asked my colleagues who accompanied me to follow me after few mins.. Realising our intention the receptionist called us and by that time i was out of the center .. Then my colleague called me inside to do the registration ... for registration i paid AED 50 which apparently is the consulting fees too... This time the wait lasted for ten mins, meanwhile i noticed a beautiful couple ( i would say wife looks beautiful) making a conversation with the doctor and what i picked up from the conversation was " we can't afford it" and i smelled something and asked myself have i reached a hospital which we see in movies !! Apparently that couple made a bill pyt of AED 350 !!

After few mins i heard my name being called and i walked into the room !! One Malayallee not good looking Nurse walked to me and asked "Vat is ur Name?" As i replied to her , here comes the next qstn .. Are u married ? I looked at her and asked does that matter? She was struggling to cover up ( I should have understood that its part of Rapport Building and Making you feel comfortable ... i shouldn't have asked that !!) Then she got the thermometer and also checked my BP, which i understood was part of the check up ... But asking me to measure my weight was little surprising for me !! ( One way it helped me to know the present weight that i am carrying around... Man i need to loose some fat )

Then comes one Filipino Doc ( Again not so good looking) She started asking me Qstns i explained her the issues that i was facing which included my throat, ear and fever - She asked me to open my mouth and then she made a Sad face ... I was like what happend ... she said its very seerious.. you need to take a Injection ( Some how i managed to know the rate for an injection before getting into the room and that was AED 75) I told the Doc ... Doc i am not comfortable with the injection may i know what is this injection for ? She said please wait i shall be back and after sometime she joined me with a senior Indian Doc ( the same doc whom the couple was having a discussion) She said Hello and started why you don't want an Injection - I said i don't want as simple as that !! I asked what is this injection for ( she replied its just an antibiotic ... i said then tablets will be fine !! ) I could see a disappointment in her face !! ( the expression read there goes AED 75- Missed my target )

Then both the doc's started talking about my weight i informed them that i have already taken an action on the same... then they came up with Ayurveda Slimming and they could provide me a good offer !! I replied wow do give me the brochures !! The they offered me a total check up of my Body and that could cost me very minimal charge ... and the minimal charge is only AED 350... Oh god why are they not taking about the reason that i am here for !! I reminded them and then they gave me a chit with some descriptions !!

Never in my life i said no to injection !! Here i had to do because i felt it was not necessary and its just one procedure to get Money out of me !! The Prescription that they gave me cost an additional AED 125 !!

It makes me think about other poor labor's who could walk into these kind of center and i am sure all these guys will be ripped by them !! Thank God i didn't open anything about my Sinus !! I need to find a good medical center now !!
