    Use of labour ward (<= 2 hours) on 09/10/13 $90.00
    My package change to LSCS so labour ward become extra charges to me, I don't know how they calculate the rate, but having the labour ward separate as 2 day the cost is high as actual using hour is about 9 hour.

Conclusion:
My bill is expensive due to extra accommodation (me and baby) and using of labour ward charges due to emergency C-sec

This amount make me hesitate to choose private hospital again, we do have enough saving and cash but medisave is also considered $$$$$ not drop from sky. I think maybe choosing government hospital can save 1-2K and most important any complicated case the bill will not be sky high.

I'm having good memory during my stay in TMC, for a first time mummy this is very important to be treated like VIP.

Dr Adrian 刀工very good, I can wear bikini without showing scar. For mummy consider cesarean delivery can consider him. Though he famous at chop chop consultant but compare waiting long time consultation and going different clinic for different test, chop chop is good for me just need scanning and tell me baby good, that's all.
