It was like a Family reunion when we had a visit with the doctor we haven't seen in years. He was my doctor since my childhood though, kinda like a family doctor.
Not just me, but my Grandma and Auntie had ailments of their own.
As for me, I was surprised that he prescribed with a completely different brand of medication. Looks like I have to stop what I was currently taking.
In the end, there was no doctors fee, which was crazy. maybe my follow up.

Some doctors do not charge fees if you go for check up but they sell expensive medicines. So it also seems like they also charged you...
It's good if they don't require you to buy there...

You are lucky that someone will treat you without fee. It means you're close.

I agree with you @caopaopao but the fee isn't really that big.

Hello @arunima25 I had no choice because this time I was with relatives and asked me to go with them. And I'm glad I did.

@Letranknight2015 I think that is a culture thing. It is how Filipino so accommodating to close friends and the like. I also do give free consultation to others, too.

Hello @Shavkat not really more like a family friend doctor. But I think my mom had free consultation with relatives and friends before.

Wow. I hope some of the doctors here are like yours. Doctor's PF is somewhat expensive.

Well, we've been his doctor for many years and he got rich some how so that's why he gave us discount / free consultation @renicemae

@Letranknight2015 Doctors get rich faster because of their very expensive professional fees

Indeed he is a family doctor but I'm not saying he's just your own family doctor. Family doctor is another term used for doctors who are general practitioners, one with no specialisation but caters to all kinds of general sickness.

Hello @toniganzon I wouldn't really call him an expert on other things like my grandma's blood clot on her brain two years ago. But he had been helpful on many occasions, specially with my gout.

It's good he did not charge you for the consultation. Maybe next time he'll do it (double!).

I have experienced this when my god-sister was the doctor. She did not charge me for consultation and prescription of medicine. It feels great. You can save a lot of money.
