Overcharged at private clinic
I went for dressing of a knee wound at a private clinic,
Doctor consulation fees were 500, I am fine with that.
But they charged 1000 RS for dressing. I had the same dressing at Manipal hospital, they charged around 250.
What should I do in this case.

Pricing is decided according to the surgeon and clinic facilities.
Rs 1000 is a problem if the staff did not inform you about dressing charges prior to doing the dressing.
If you were informed prior to doing the dressing then you should not feel bad about it.
Next Steps
Bigger teaching institutions or medical colleges may have lesser charges but this does not mean that Rs 1000 is overcharging.
Health Tips
Dressing is also done free in many government institutions, but the difference lies in service and quality.
