What about tipping the medical staff? I was told i’ts nice to tip them and my stay will be exceptional, Is that by the day or everytime they come to my bedside?
Medical professionals like doctors or nurses usually do not need to be tipped. Sometimes the nurses do receive tips. When they do it’s $10-$20. Some patients decide to buy lunch for the staff instead, so they pay for a pizza or donuts for everybody.
Our case manager in Tijuana, Mexico says “When patients ask about tipping, I normally tell them it’s encouraged but not required. That they are in no obligation to tip but it’s always appreciated.
If they ask how much and to whom, I tell them whatever is within their means, and to whoever they think deserves it.
Normally most people tip bellboys and drivers only. Sometimes they tip a nurse who they think did a great job.
Lastly, if they ask for ideas on how much, I tell them that most people tip the bellboys around $2-$5. And the drivers normally around $10-$20”
