Doctor Patient relationship

Is it normal for a doctor not to charge for consultation but ask for a charity donation that is paid to her and not directly to the charity? First time consulting with this doctor and I wonder how this is going to go...

Not come across your issue before. I have seen the same doctor for years in the Lorma private hospital and simply pay the P400 bill. Is your doctor in a small clinic or stand alone doctor. What sort of donation is expected?

It doesn't sound normal to ask for a donation.


Cheers, Steve.

It's not normal for a Doctor to waive a consultation fee unless you are a relative, close friend or the Doctor is a social worker. The real question is: Did the Doctor suggest the fee amount or leave it up to your generosity?


When I was a newly wed with my first life, my wife as a teenager use to babysit his children. When we started our family he was our Doctor. His fee was pay me what you can, which ended up being several dollars.

@Filamretire Never experienced that one. Perhaps it is a tax dodge as no receipt is issued. Also with no record may not have to pay for offices she is using

Doctor is a friend of a friend. No set charge, just donate. Not a small clinic. Tax dodge didnt occur to me, but unlikely since I think doctor is part of a group that does charity work. Anyways, rubbed me the wrong way initially I'm willing to move on past it
