It’s EASY to waste time and money in hospital!
I and my husband brought my daughter to the hospital very early this morning, for her eyes checking! When my daughter was just 5 or 6 months old, doctor told me her left eye had the Congenital esotropia (I got the translation for this specialized name of the disease). Now she got the near sight, so we went to the same hospital to seek some advice what we should pay attention when ordering the glasses for her with this disease from newborn. However, doctor consistently said there was no Congenital esotropia for my daughter’s eye, just go to order the glasses after optometry. I doubted this because when she was very little, not one doctor in one hospital confirmed she had this and told us this disease will not disappear automatically except a surgery on the eye! I asked the doctor to open the related checklist for us but she refused. Instead, she opened a series of checks about the near sight and other related checks, and told us we must do this first, then she can continue the following checks! These useless checks wasted us a whole day and near $200 in the hospital and the results are good for these checks, then the doctor was off shift and told us to do the following checks tomorrow!!! During the whole day, we wasted about more than 5 hours on all kinds of queues! Terrible! I’m not sure if there’s the same thing in your country or city! Doctors just care the revenue and don’t care the disease and the patients too much! Doctors can’t do checks without machines and reports! Doctors always give you a lot of checks to do but never ask you what’s wrong with you! Isn’t it terrible? I know not all doctors are doing this, but most of them have the same selection. Next step: asked for additional leave to choose another hospital to check my daughter’s eyes again!
