  I suddenly have this crazy thinking.
  
  What if when I am sick and I go to see a pte doctor and after taking the medicine I tell the staff that I got no money now and that I will pay the next time when I come back to see the doctor and than just walk or run away with the medicine?
  
  Anybody try this before?
  
  Although they got my home address, but what can they do? Come to my house to look for me? Than I get my family members to open the house and tell them that I shift house already lor and nobody knows my new address.
  
  report to police? ok lor. See if the police will be so free to help them by coming to my house to look for me lor. even if the police come to look for me, I say that I got no money to pay lor. So what can they do? Go to court to sue me because I never pay the $20 or $30 medical bill?
  
  I think the doctor also will just lan lan suck thumb only. He won't be bothered to go to court to just to sue for this small sum.
  
  Anyway, I have heard of real cases which people purposely don't pay the doctor fee saying that they got no money and at the most they got blacklisted and cannot come back to the same clinic to see the doctor again. But the doctor can't be bothered to sue him too cos it is just a small sum of money and sueing him means having to waste a lot of time travelling to court when he could use the time to see more patients to earn more money.

  Yup, TS has certainly spotted a loophole in the law.
  
  But don't they make you pay first before you get to see the doctor?

  Have not tried not paying... but tried getting discounts. Still works... as long as you have a legit reason.
  
  The clinic lost my insurance records + medical records... insurance company also can't find my name... so I can't be bothered.
  
  Either they accept or don't. Pay and left.

  dishonesty is not the best policy.....
  
  if you want to really trick a doctor to give you free medicine and check up, then make him a friend....a real close friend
  
  ofcourse if i were to have a friend who is a doctor i won't make use of him like in the above scenario.....i may have evil ideas like this, but i'm not the sort.

  if you want to be an @sshole...all you need is to meet a doctor who bothers enough to report police...police should be able to charge you for cheating...
  
  there are people who get charged for shoplifting...and the things that they shoplifted are not expensive.

  I don't think there are many people as boliao as you are for coming up with such stupid idea.
  
  I might have a little respect for you if you dare to try your own stupid idea...but since you dont intend to...

  If the doctor has morals, and you're truthful about having nothing but an illness to your name, I'm sure he will treat you foc. But as practical and distrusting as we are, sigh...
  
  This also reminds me of Michael Moore's SiCKO as well. +1 for a national health welfare system.

  Then tell your family members to have fun in court for obstruction of justice. No, the police won't help him find you, they have to. It's considered as theft, which is not a civil offence but instead a criminal offence. So no, the doctor might not sue you for running away and not paying, because it's not mandatory, but he's given that extra option just to f*ck your life up even more. Guess what, you might have to cover his legal fees as well. Fun eh?
