AN EMAIL ON THE ROT IN HOSPITALS.

namaste

i am sorry about your experience and the pain of your loss, Col Chandra.

however i would like to tell you that i have experienced the same in max superspeciality saket delhi and at national heart institute lajpat nagar 4 new delhi and Apollo cancer hospital chennai.
friends have experienced this in other hospitals.
this is the commericial trend that is dominant these days and we have to find a means of tackling this menace.

i would like to point out that i have had in recent recent years very positive experience in AIIMS and Safdarjang hospitals on sudden emergency admission.

however i have not recovered from the pain of 1966 when the junior staff, the nurses and sweepers at Safdarjang demanded bribes from the poorest general ward patients to send files x-rays and test reports on to the doctors... even for each glass of drinking water.

greed is common and not confined to one place or strata or time period.

the current big money formula in hospitals involving the medical fraternity needs to be curbed. the agony your family went through is multiplied many times each day in multiple places across the country. this agony can only bring bad times for the nation at levels beyond our imagination.
please let us collectively think of ways to change the trend.

regards
bharati more

Durga Prasad ji, the plight of widows is deplorable, specially the ones who were leading a secure life a day before sudden death of husband. The grown up children play blame games, specially if daughter is married to a rich man & only son though educated is not as rich. She died at Singapore for no fault of hers , she was attached to her grandsons(kids of her daughter) , her only son gathered courage to bring her back to India after 2 weeks of major surgery with 10 inch wound on her abdomen(literally carried her with the help of attendants) If learned doctors at Singapore have ' diagnosed' Cancer , Can our folks at Ruby Hall Pune declare her otherwise ? She died at home but received chemo+radio for a year. She was M. Sc but an emotional person who could not see through the game plan ?? Despite being Tamil Brahmins , a superior race , the rich banker son in law saw to it that there was a collection of similar learned relatives to pressurize the Only son to do mourning & Brahmin Pooja at various Temples of Punefor 15 days & no cooking at home. Where was the scope for any of the learned relative to go against might of rich Tam Brahm Settled well in Singapore ? The sole aim was to harass the only son of family who was Not a Doctor/ CA/ Engineer / Professional like others. Though money is not a criteria at death of own mother but son did the best till last breath of his mother among tamasha watching relatives. May everyone be blessed with such sons but son in law is also son of some rich man but he has a deceptive & jealous wife. In some homes it is a curse to be born as a son , as every female tries to pull him down , because they are The Homely Types ! My comments are not to target any community , it can happen to me , a Punjabi or any other son in Haryana. Well Clad woman power is danger to society & to immediate family. more  
I profusely thank Local Circles for giving an opportunity to all members to vent their feelings and come out with all the malpractices going on in the medical field. Local Circles would be doing a great service if these issues are suitably taken up with the MCI and force the MCI on remedial measures to be intitiated by the MCI besides suitably punishing the errant and unfaithful doctors who commit the crime of doing business at the cost of the patients. Details of such doctors should be constantly exposed in social media and put them to shame in society. more  
The incident narrated by Neelam ji is very tragic indeed. Instead of simply giving the details of the case, would it not be better if the details of the hospital, the name of the surgeon who performed the surgery and expose the names of the oncologist who administered radio/chemotherapy without following the protocol? Such organisations and doctors should be exposed on social media like facebook etc besides the complaint to MCI and a legal follow-up by registering a police complaint. more
