10 min to take the X-ray of the breasts eh? $155 too much eh?
Well maybe they should have package where you can have the mammogram done and collect the films WITHOUT having it reported by a radiologist. You can go look look at the nice X-ray peektures of your own boobs for low low price of $6.90! Then you yourself can decide whether the mammogram got show cancer or not.
Good or not?
Or maybe can bring the films go to family doctor ask him/her to read see if got cancer or no cancer. GP consult is wha $5-$20? Cheaper than $155 lah.
Yes, $155 for mammogram is too expensive, considering the pap pays $1k+ for filipino nurses and $3k+ for myanmarese doctors.
I know of a SG doctor who graduated from UK and is working at SGH for $3K+ a month and he was threatened that his tenure with SGH may not be renewed as they can replace him with foreign doctors. Morale among the younger doctors is low.
So considering the poor management of health care in SG, $155 is high
