Mediocre doctors playing the international game.
I went to get a prescription for a condition I have been treating for years. I needed an English prescription to justify these meds at the border in Australia.
I know my condition well and I have always been prescribed the same for years. I told this old dweller going by the label of "doctor" what I exactly needed, and that this was my daily medication for many years. He then adopted this arrogant attitude and told me in an aggressive tone that "You are not the doctor, I am the doctor!!" And he prescribed something that didn't match my symptomatology and needs, despite I repeatedly told him what my medication was for the last 20+ years, and also showed him similar cases, papers and other doctor's opinion on the matter to support my claim.
He then told me "Oh, you know too much about this condition ", to what I answered "of course, I've lived with it for many years, how couldn't I?". Then he offered me a "take it or leave it, I am the law" on a clear misdiagnose of my condition and show de force, acting like an offended teenager.
So I accepted the deal given that somehow, his ego was wounded and he wasn't going to surrender to the obvious mistake he was making , despite I presented to him all possible evidences and studies.about my case.
He just decided to give me a different thing to what I needed to prove me wrong and make clear who was the doctor there and who had the power, or who knows what mental derangement this should-be-retired play-a-doctor had in mind.
Anyways, I can make use of the medicine prescribed by cutting the tablets and adjusting it to my needs, but this mediocre full of himself dated flowerpot, just denied my right to bring to Australia the 3 months supply I was lawfully entitled to.
Lesson learnt. Next time: Prescription from a Public Hospital and official translation of the prescription given.
Thanks for nothing, "International" Mickey Mouse Hospital.
PS: The toll fee for foreigners is 418000 VND (A$25). You can get consultations for your prescriptions in Australia from A$15 (250000 VND). Another hint proving this "hospital" is just after your money, not for your health problems.
