Today in a hospital OPD where I consult at subsidised rates, two young adults from a clearly affluent family walked in — twins, same skin issue. When it came to consultation charges (a modest ₹600 per head), they flatly refused to pay for both.
Their logic? “They’re twins. Same problem. So we’ll pay only once.” They actually fleed with two separate prescriptions without paying! What entitlement!
No — you don’t walk into a clinic, assume you’ll have the same prescription but take two time slots, two medical opinions, and decide you’re entitled to a “buy one get one free” because you’re identical twins.
This is a subsidised clinic, meant for people who genuinely need support. Not for those who can easily afford dinner at a 5-star but bargain with a hospital offering subsidised care.
Please stop mistaking compassion for stupidity. I’m venting my annoyance here, because of the sheer sense of entitlement some people carry around in their heads. I will delete this post in a few days, but I’m genuinely surprised at this kind of behaviour. It is also my request to affording individuals that they see me at my private OPD, Dermatherapie clinic in Khar.. I can only take in a limited number of patients at a charitable OPD and I prefer it be for those in genuine need 🙏🏼
