Early this morning, I read that there are patients who would pay retainers fee of more than US$10,000 a year for personalized medicine, which is now also known as concierge medicine.
While some people think that concierge medicine services are only available to heads of States or only on TV, I think that depending on the services that a patient requires, having a physician on standby would provide much needed peace of mind that money can buy.
Of course, we don’t hope to be afflicted with so many illnesses to warrant the need for such a service but hopefully, in time to come, concierge medicine would be more affordable and not as exclusive so that those who need it, could afford it.
