NARAYANA HRUDAYALAYA REFUNDS
I had a mild attack ON 9-4-2017. After ECG and ECO test it was confirmed. I got admitted to Narayana Hrudalaya, Mysore. Unfortunately, NH Mysore's HEART-their CATAHLAB was non-functional. AFTER 40 HOURS OF WASTEFUL STAY AT NH (FOR WHICH THEY CHARGED 26,000), I GOT OUT AND MOVED TO COLOMBIA ASIA HOSPITAL AND GOT MY ANGIO PLASTY DONE WITHIN 1 HOUR. THANKS TO THE SKILLS OF DR. CB KESHAVA MURTHY.

Welcome that you got your money back. All over the country the private hospitals are creating similar stories of harassing and looting the patients once they (patients) reach a hospital of their choice for better treatment. The government seems to be helpless in playing any major and effective role in bringing the hospitals in line by implementing any code of conduct and ethics as well as fixing up stringent punishment for those found guilty of negligence and engaged in extracting money from the patients/their family in unfair ways. more

I was admitted to Jaipur Golden Hospital because my classmate was working there as a Consultant. I had a severe heart attack & was in ICU for 7 days. Angiography was done again & Injections of Heparin were given in a haphazard manner by the nurses. Heparin is a blood thinner & hospital was waiting for the Cardiac surgeon..there was a flying cardiac surgeon who kept delaying under one pretext or another..only this hospital knows. The doctors were Not willing to release me & I Left against medical advice..Feb-2008..came home & kept taking tablets of Sorbitrate,beta blockers & was scared to visit NHI near my place because I Was Not Insured... It took me 3 weeks to collect the funds & to get admitted for a Surgery made more complicated due to more damage to the heart. During 3 weeks,effect of Heparin had come down & I was Saved from Getting more Bleeding during heart surgery. Too Much Trust on colleagues working in Corporate Hospitals is Bad for the Health. It is better to get admitted in the nearest hospital,having good reputation of saving patients suffering from heart diseases. By the way the surgeon at Jaipur Golden has 'worked' under Dr. Naresh Trehan & for this Corporate hospital,it is a renowned name to Impress Junta. But I had trusted my classmate to guide me right,which she did Not.. It was my luck or good wishes of aam junta & I survived this complicated surgery.. This information of admitting a patient,doing nothing but charging money is a good news. I wish that 13 years ago i had same enlightenment & spirit to fight to get a refund + compensation for giving me Mental Torture.. more

My father had heart bypass surgery at Narayana Hrudalaya, Kolkata in 2014. At that time, I found both the facility and the doctors absolutely impeccable. The hospital was even courteous enough to pay me back a substantial amount of money (don't remember the exact figure but it was considerably more than 26000) which I had overpaid to them. Hence this input on the same group of hospitals really saddens me. more
