Hello Doctors in the house I want to share something that happen some months back, and I need Doctors opinions.
....my girl came to informed me that she visit a popular hospital owned by a church. that the doctor said she got PID, after treatment the doctor advice her, that I should also visit coz I might have been infected. (I went there with her card coz she said its a family hospital that both of us can use same card) When i visit the hospital I explained everything she told me. (Luckily I met the same doctor) The doctor accept that I might be infected and he stated giving me injection.
.....Here's the part am seeking opinion from other doctors. first the doctor didn't run a test on me. my blood sample were not take (but he took hers). Is it appropriate for a doctor to give injection base on a patients complained? she was charge 5k for treatment, blood sample and card I was charge 8k for treatment alone.
I feel I've been scam!!!

You were not scammed. It is customary for doctors to treat partners of patients who are suspected of having an infection that can be sexually transmitted. It is called contact tracing and treatment. The partner doesn't necessarily have to show symptoms and signs of the infection, and in most cases tests reveal nothing. So they don't usually bother with tests in order to save your money.
