I do understand your pain. But our mindset is like enjoying in 5-star hotel and paying the price of food like dhaba. How can this be possible? If you think hospitals are charging high, do give break up and submit to consumer court. The court will take care of. But just exhaling your pain in these columns will not bring any relief to you. Reading your question, I am reminded of a case I read in the Student Company Secretary magazine of the Institute of Company Secretaries of India about 30 years back. A car owner got the car services and A/C installed in the car. Car Service Centre charged 5 times more than the price in the car repair garage. The consumer filed a suit under Unfair Trade Practices Act and the case was heard by the court. The advocate of the company pleaded: It is right, my company charges 5 times more than car repair technician. A car repair technician was called as witness and asked to show the tools . He had perhaps 5-10 tools, screw drivers etc. Then asked the engineer of the company to show the honorabale judge his tool box. It had more than 100 tools and screw drivers. Engineer was qualified in college and was heavily paid by the company. The advocate further asserted, your honors if the local A/C was fitted, many other parts would have been broken or become defective by the ill-informed car garage technician. The court rejected the plaintiff's plea and upheld the company's plea. So, hospitals are run by qualified doctors. To be doctor costs around 10-20 lacs. Their skill matters. Pointing a finger on the qualified fraternity is wrong. Is not it better to go to a shop and get the treatment for the price that has been mentioned here? more

Know thyself. Self-healing mechanism there within us. But many believe to visit a doctor even for a small cough and listen to the long lectures that create fear psychosis. Just one affirmation, I am happy, I am well, World is OK. I remained in comma for about 8 years but never lost faith in God and never stopped reading about depression. Listened to powerful music with spiritual hymns, read the stories of the people who had over come depression and not who had dreaded it. And I am back to the world. No hospital ever visited. Better to sit and read about the problem than to brood and talk about it to others who inflate the problem with words and actions.
Believe in yourself that nothing is going to happen. Death will come one day. Let it be tomorrow or just now. What is the difference? Children got education and employment. They may marry during my life time or after me. What is the problem? Why should I worry? Such kind of feeling and thinking keeps the mind healthy and illness does not touch a person. But we love to seek sympathy from every Dick and Harry on the road. And ill information causes more problems than the problem really is. One doctor confided in me: Sir, only 1 out of 100 is really ill. Rest all feel that they are ill. We as doctors approve of them. If we don't, they are not satisfied and even look at us scornfully. Tell me what to do. We feel better to say Yes. This fills the patient's emotional need too. Think and see more videos on your problem. You will be better aware. Merely, writing or exhaling pain will not help you. more

Admitted, but to prove cheating takes 10-20 years effort. Utopian thinking does not pay in real world. Nobody is going to be honest by reading our comments. I am also a Sr. Citizen but my moto of life is love, live and leave nothing for my progeny. I have given them birth and education. Rest they have to do. This feelings makes me healthy and I have enough money to live and leave this world happily. The more we complain about the world, more it tortures us mentally and we become more ill. Self criticism and criticism of the world in which we live are the 2 major reasons of mental illness. Mind is the engine of train called body. To keep body fit, mentally a person should remain care free. Know thyself. I don't know your case. But most are afflicted with NOCEBO effect. What is this NOCEBO effect? I am ill. The world is bad. People are cheats. It is nothing but giving wrong messages to the sub conscious mind. When sub-conscious mind is polluted how can conscious and super conscious mind be better? Definitely it will be ill. more

I have tweeted the case of Care Hospitals Hyderabad where if you say insurance claim, rates are doubled and if you pay cash rates are less. They do not conduct tests and include in the bill and when insurance company seeks test reports, they will withdraw the claim and ask the patient to pay cash and seek for reimbursement. Their own branch charges half of the main hospital. Who will control? Where are the standard rates? How can charges varies between economy and special rooms when services, are same? This is a big farce and people are victimized left right and middle. more

Private hospitals do not get subsidy on anything. They buy premises at commercial rates. They pay electricity and water charges at commercial rates. They pay municipal property taxes at commercial rates. They pay medical waste disposal charges at commercial rates. They also do not get any subsidy on the interest rates charged by all banks at regular rates, without any interest subsidy or without any loan waiver at the time of election or any other time. So why should they charge the patients at subsidized rates. The government hospitals and CGHS can afford to charge less because all the tax payers in the country pay taxes to manage these (many times absolutely inefficient) institutions. Do you have any idea how much it costs to buy and in addition to maintain on yearly contract any medical equipment like MRI or CT scans or any other equipment? Finally do you go to a 5 star of 7 star hotel which charges Rs. 5000/- for a dish which may be available for Rs 500 in any other hotel and for Rs. 200/- at any roadside shack. more
