"A reminder to all patients seeking online consultations:”
Medicine is a profession, not a charity. Every consultation — whether online or in-person — requires time, expertise, clinical judgment, and responsibility. The increasing expectation for free advice, instant prescriptions, or emotional manipulation ('begging') to avoid fees is deeply concerning and disrespectful.
Online consultations are not shortcuts or freebies — they are medical services. We are doctors, not digital vending machines. Please understand that:
✔️ A consultation requires time.
✔️ A prescription is not a favor — it's a legal, ethical, and clinical decision.
✔️ Our training, time, and accountability are valuable.
Respect your doctors the same way you'd expect to be respected in your own profession.
Thank you to the patients who understand and value what we do."
