I know where this clinic is located.
It's the only semblance of a medical option that still remains open till so late on this busy road,while other practitioners have long packed up and gone home by 5pm.
The first impression,one gets, is that the clinic is always full because the doctor is one of the better ones around.
In reality,one can say that it is a brilliant/clever/sneaky marketing strategy.
Good coverline for a Sipeh Cialat slow coach who is essentially just another businessman if you remove the white coat .
Yea,most GP's in Penang are a damned lousy bunch.
Only good for overcharging patients,buying lousy medications from sleazy salesmen peddling China made drugs and piling a ton of unneccessary vitamins on you.
Coming back to this particular clinic,patients still make a beeline irregardless of the notorious waiting period,due to the lower fees that they charge.
Now,let me relate to you what was reported on a local tv station,which the newspaper article below,left out.
Why did the old man go bonkers?
First of all,he had a sleep disorder.
Next,he had to wait till his butt grew stiff and pointed.
Then,when he finally got to see the doctor and related his predicament,he prescribed him.....get this....
just PANADOL and nothing else.
Goodness gracious.
Only a kayu,would be thoroughly anasthesized against one unable to sleep like a Log and take him for an imbecile.
There could have been plenty of kopitiams and convenience stores where the old man could have just as easily cured his sleeplessness.
Huhuhu....

Doctor Stabbed By Patient
The Star,16th dec 2011
GEORGE TOWN: Commotion rocked a clinic here when a 67-year-old male patient stabbed the doctor twice while undergoing a check-up.
Dr Lee Kok Seng in his 50s, was wounded on the left side of his waist in the 9pm drama at the private clinic in Magazine Road here yesterday.
A nurse at the clinic said she heard Dr Lee screaming some 20 minutes after the suspect entered the consultation room.
Rushing inside, she saw the doctor bleeding while the suspect was lying on the floor.
A member of the Penang Island Voluntary (Security) Patrol unit Lim Teong Lean, who happened to be at the clinic, alerted the police and summoned for an ambulance.
He had barged into the room when he heard the doctor screamed.
“Dr Lee had (somehow) managed to subdue the suspect when I rushed into the room.
“I asked the two nurses to tie the suspect's hand with a rope to prevent him from becoming rowdy,” said Lim.
It is learnt that Dr Lee was sent to the Penang Hospital where he was given outpatient treatment.
Police arrived shortly after and detained the suspect.
George Town OCPD Asst Comm Gan Kong Meng said the motive is yet to be ascertained.
“The police have also recovered the knife used in the attack,” he said, adding that the case was classified under Section 324 of the Penal Code for causing grievous hurt.
