I thought it was so unprofessional of the doctor to badmouth the other one, even if it was just a joke. Though I doubt he was joking. He sounded like he was, but he didn't seem to be. He just confirmed my theory that some doctors would indeed say subtly nasty things about their co-doctors for the sake of gaining a wider patient-base. I might be overreacting but you be the judge.

Doctor A is the 'unprofessional' one. Doctor B is the victim.

Situations:
1. Doctor B charges a deadly initial fee for consultation. 1K? Nah. 2k? Higher. 3k? Just go up. 4K? Maybe but I won't tell okay? It just might be higher than 4k.

2. This doctor looks, how do I not make this sound gay, decent enough.

3. I suppose he's highly educated that he explains things in English, classroom style.

So I went to Doctor A this afternoon for a consultation. He learned that I visited Doctor B some time ago. He apparently knew how much the bloke charges people INITIALLY. He said it even before I did, actually without even having to ask me. He just blurted it out. And the issue here is that he said it in a manner that makes it sound like Doctor B charges such a high fee ALL THE TIME.

Then Doctor A starts 'making jokes' about (or is 'attacking' the more appropriate verb) Doctor B. In his words:

1. [Si Doctor B] Madaming naloloko (re: the fee). I am not 100% positive I heard this. But I think this wouldn't have sticked in mind if he didn't say it.

2. Dinadaan sa gwapo at pa-Ingles-Ingles.

The moment he said these things, once and for all, I thought, how unprofessional. At bakit, inggit ka kasi mukha kang witch doctor? O dahil hindi ka makasingil ng ganun kalaki? He seems to have some ethical issues; he seems to despise B. I understand there is competition amongst doctors. Fairly enough, these 2 doctors are popular in a way, always having a lot of people waiting outside their clinic. Yet I didn't find the need for him to utter those words, jokingly or not. For one, I don't need unsolicited advice about the other doctor I visit. Two, he just better shut up and do his job. Those two things were enough for me to cross him out of my options for the operation. So now, I'm just down to Doctor B.

Yes, I only have two options. And I am quite happy with Doctor B. This bloke works very neatly and gently. Quite far from how the witch doctor works. Goodness, he stuffed my nose as if my nostrils lead to empty passageways. EASY! SLOW DOWN! He made my nose bleed, got it irritated, I suppose, because the whole time I was traveling back, I felt uneasy I had to blow it soo many times, and it gave me a headache after. Those harsh hands shall never touch my nose uh-gain.
