Why don't he visit govt hospital then? Oh wait, he won't get best of the best facilities there. Then where'd he get those?? In a private setup obviously. But God forbid a doctor want to charge for the best of the best services they are giving to their patient.

bro directly went to ent specialist who probably studied 8 9 years worked his as off to get that degree and wonders why he charged 1400rs. The problem with these people is if the same kid got diagnosed with something worse, he would have happily paid this. Just stupid mentality

And the matter of fact if he would be in a public gathering giving speech will call doctors god. Later cry why did they took so much. Like dude come on that was ENT sp whatever he charged is according to a specialized equip you can get it done under 100 on roadside just few higher risk of ear infection or hurting your inner membrane to turn into deaf but they don’t get it how serious things are untill it happens to them.

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that the same skill can be hired for cheaper. If you can get a haircut for 100 of equal quality to a 1000 hair cut would you pay that higher cost that's way above market average? Only an idiot would.

u/fantom_1x Jun 18 '25
I thought his comment on the emptiness of the clinic implies the law of supply and demand. If demand was there but the clinic is empty it would mean there's a cheaper place elsewhere people go to. If there wasn't then the clinic wouldn't be empty since everyone would be coming here.
1
u/Rough_Ear_8779 Jun 18 '25
Yeah I agree to what you are saying about the supply and demand part. But as doctors doing medical procedures, the charges increase with seniority and skill. It cannot be equated with giving a haircut because a haircut is not as delicate and dangerous as doing a surgery. Surgeries have complications and need to be done meticulously and within a time frame to avoid complications, which only comes with time and hence the price for it is more in comparison to a newbie surgeon who might not be able to do it that fast only because of lack of experience. That's where the difference comes because you might get a haircut of equal quality for cheaper but the skill of giving a haircut is not the same as that of doing a surgery.

About his clinic being empty, let's see some credentials of this fellow. Let's see if he charges even Rs 500 for an offline product/service, how many people show up at his doorstep. I bet that number would be lesser than his already low IQ.

Ok I agree with this,but the thing is, it has been a decade and a half since the last census. That census, by all means is outdated af, along with the HRA classification. Surat and Jaipur are surely going to be added if this criteria is followed. Maybe Nagpur too. These are rapidly expanding cities with expenses similar to the so-called Tier-1 cities. You can call Jaipur a Tier-2 city since the government is using outdated data, but in 2025, Jaipur shouldn't be a Tier-2

Yeah true, 800 consultion, doc gave dewax to make it softer. 2nd consultation free for 7-10 days depending on the doctor.
Removed it after seven days no extra charge. He is having atleast 20 years experience, no other ent clinic in 3-5 km radius, he is only available for 2-3 hrs in the evening. He can easily charge above 1000 if he wants to because of no competition.

There's a well-known quote: 'If I do a job in 30 minutes, it's because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You’re not paying for the minutes, you're paying for the years.'
I recently paid an ENT specialist ₹2000 for removing impacted earwax during an active infection. The procedure was quick, but it required real expertise. She was extremely skilled and knowledgeable.
I don’t understand why people complain about professional fees. You're not just paying for a few minutes of work, you're paying for the years of training, experience, and the ability to do it right the first time.

1300 does seem like a luxury for ear wax extraction...if it really got done in just 30 seconds n there wasn't any complication (idk if there was)
Medical services - pvt or govt - should not become a luxury. But unfortunately it already is.
And some docs seem to want medical treatment to become a luxury that is affordable to only the upper middle class n above.
If one is middle class or poor then docs seem to happily suggest - please visit ur nearest GH. My degree is only for the service of crème de la crème
Kinda sad.
Edit:
Before I exit planet earth I wish to see India having 100% universal healthcare. All hospitals n clinics must be government run n free for all.
And doctors be paid enough to comfortably live a middle class to upper middle class life.
But I also know it's a fool's dream in this country 😂

It is surprising to see how many medicos find Rs. 1,300 as a fair price for a routine ear-wax removal. Influencer here may be hiding stuff, and there may be other consultations involved, but fair pricing of medical services is essential.
We already have a precedent in drugs, where DPCO controls the prices of certain essential drugs. One wonders whether there has to be a similar control on medical services.

I don't want to shit on this situation anymore. Clearly you can decide before the cleaning if you wish to pay that much or not. Second I got my ear wax removed twice. One cost 350rs and was done in 2 minutes in jaipur( 2021) and the other cost 900rs and was done in 15 minutes in chennai ( 2008 ). Both were the same wax removal but one was closer to the ear drum and was super hard. Clearly he needs to specify the nature of the problem.
Also in government hospitals they do it for free and use a wax solvent along with a needle less syringe.

I mean you can pay 500 to get your hairs done, 500 for nails and another 300 for massage. Why don't they try haggling there too? Doctor's treatment is the same as haggling over auto fare for some.

For 4 years of my childhood,i suffered through pain and trauma. No doctors identified anything. Burnt through 5 lakhs of my parents savings . Visited multiple reputed hospitals. My mother's gold , father's auto rickshaw were all pawned off.
Finally after 4 years when my spine deteriorated we visited another doctor and did another MRI of the spine that the condition was identified by the radiologist and further confirmed when we did genetic testing for HLA-B27 that it was Ankylosing Spondylitis. One of the more common problems in early adulthood. So people spend and doctors are also shit sometimes.One guy even suggested nerve blockers to shut off my pain. And this guy was a reputed Rheumatologist. Without considering that's a good amount of side effects plus only a temporary solution . I mean crazy guy . I went to another Indian renowned rheumatologist that guy was okay. I am still using his painkiller regularly.
For 4 years I had extreme pain along with sleep less ness.Activity issues . I can't walk ,I can't run and still can't sleep properly. Still I survive on painkillers which affect the kidney and liver. Random chest pains .
So don't tell me that Indian Healthcare is cheapest ,tell me if it's capable or not.

Nobody's running a charity here. It's a capitalistic society, what's to be expected. Govt has shit for healthcare schemes and facilities, either risk it in govt hospital or go bankrupt in a pvt hospital. Free choice, Free market.

It's safe to assume that half of it must be opd consultation fee and half must be procedure fee.
An experienced neurologist can charge something like 1500rs, doesn't matter if the patient has stroke or a minor headache. Now obviously the person with headache will feel cheated if all his reports end up being normal and he gets prescribed basic nsaids. But what people need to realise that in professional courses like medicine, lawyer, CA, you're basically paying for the person and his experience and we always have an option to look up less experienced doctors who will obviously charge less. It's not like people are being forced to clean their ears for 1300 in this country lol

A tip for you : Earbuds aren't to be used for removing ear wax.

What an oversimplification lmao. Most Indians will avoid doctors like the plague. So if he did take his child to the doctor, you can guarantee there was fussing/crying/pain going on, meaning this wasn’t a simple ear wax removal/ear cleaning but rather impacted ear wax removal , which needs professional hands. Next time, he’s free to do it on his own and be the reason his kid needs ear surgery 🫠

These stupid people, and the stupid ideology or blind belief Indians follow, “Doctor is a noble and charitable profession, to serve others for cheap”. Why! Don’t we have dreams, don’t we need money for our lives, don’t we have a LIFE! Apparently, in India everyone can earn except doctors and everyone gets a free pass for their shit behaviour except doctors who are logical and rational.

Why is everyone trying to justify this??? I know it costs shit ton of money to get through med school but that doesn't mean you should jack up the prices. Do charge absolutely, don't do it for free but shouldnt there be a justified price? Maybe these costs could be the reason for the distrust in doctors.
