If a subsidized patient switches to Dr B, there is no loss or gain in renumaration for either Dr A or Dr B.
The hospital does not count the switch against any Dr.

hi jonjon, thanks for the explanation & reply, really appreciate it
i'm glad to know that my first doc would not be affected negatively. the only thing is, it was one of the senior doctors who discovered that my doc could have made the wrong diagnosis of my condition, if this were to be brought up to my doc's boss' attention, there is nothing i could do about it. but for now, i do not intend to lodge a complaint.
