I was correctly treated by Gloria but that didn't make her a properly trained doctor.Actually this is something that I know, given that I've had several first-hand experiences of being treated by them.

Sounds like a socialized medical nightmare to me. If I wasn't sick before going to a doctor like that, I'd likely be after spending a few hours locked in a germ factory full of sick and wailing children. No, I would not accept it if I could avoid it, but if that's all there was and he was the only properly qualified doctor in town, well, I guess I'd have to tolerate it. But if there were other choices, I probably would go somewhere else.would you and your child/children accept to sit for a few hours in a waiting room full of wailing children (no appointment, sorry!...
Price is not an issue (so long it's not extravagant), and how much other people pay is certainly not an issue. When choosing a doctor, how much he charges Khmers or anybody else would not figure into my reasoning at all. But as a side issue, I would find charging poor people less for medical treatment to be a praiseworthy practice and would be happy that higher fees that I was paying was helping to subsidize the practice. On the other hand, if rich Khmers get to pay less by virtue of their race, I would consider that a racist practice. Either way, it wouldn't figure into my choosing to use that doctor or not....and pay, say, $30 to see a Harvard-educated MD who charges Cambodian patients $5 each for exactly the same consultation...
