M’sian Visits JB Clinic for 12PM Appointment, Claims Doctor Scolded Her for “coming at lunchtime”

When you’re physically unwell, it’s emotionally and mentally tiring to deal with anything else. A Malaysian woman recently claimed that she did not receive the treatment she deserved when visiting a government clinic in Johor.

In a conversation with WORLD OF BUZZ, Sara (pseudonym) said she started to feel ill on Monday night (July 22) and made an appointment to consult the doctor at a government clinic the next day at 12 PM (July 23). She explained that she needed to visit said clinic because her workplace only accepts MCs (Medical Certificates) from government clinics.

Sara reached the clinic on time but the experience was not up to her expectations.

She claims that the doctor was impatient, unfriendly, and yelled at her when asking her to fill up an address card. The doctor also allegedly blamed Sara for interfering with her lunch break.

“If you’re not feeling well, you should’ve come earlier! Why are you coming when we’re supposed to go for lunch break?”

The doctor then continued to check on Sara’s condition. Sara, however, told WORLD OF BUZZ that the doctor barely checked on her.

“She yelled at me and told me to go for a blood test, and come back to her at 2 PM.”

Disappointed with the treatment, Sara did not return to the clinic. She did not go for a blood test either.

“You could just be kind, right?”

Sara clarified that she did not expect the doctor to put aside their break time to focus solely on the patients as she understood that the doctors, too, are only humans who need rest. She expected the doctor to just be kind and tell her nicely, and she couldn’t help but wonder,

“If it was meant to be the doctor’s lunch break, why was there an option for an appointment at 12 PM?”

For illustration purposes only

When asked if she made an official complaint, Sara told WORLD OF BUZZ,

“I didn’t. I don’t know where to make one. That’s why I wanted to bring up this matter on social media. I expect to see changes.”

Sara added that her experience at the clinic was allegedly NOT her 1st time receiving unprofessional treatments from government staff.

Have you experienced a similar kind of treatment at the clinics?
