I came to the appointment with a cold: my throat hurt and my ear was blocked. The doctor immediately declared that this was not an ENT condition but a neurological one, and that I needed a brain MRI, tympanometry, and audiometry. She immediately started talking about the cost and that they had a special offer on everything right now, praising some Tesla technology that only they had. She said that everywhere else an MRI costs 70,000, but they had a 50% discount, and everything together today would be a good deal for 100,000 tenge. She started rushing me, saying she had already booked me in for all the diagnostics at once and even for tests. I realised I was being ripped off on the spot, I had no trust in them, and I left. I went to another clinic — there none of that was needed, and they prescribed adequate, normal treatment.
