Unethical Practices of Corporate Hospitals In India Posted: 06-09-06 00:54am
If you as a patient visited corporate
hospitals like apollo, miot in chennai and
delhi, then rest assured you are going to
be taken for a ride. For a simple ailment
like backache of short duration, you may
end up shelling out several thousands of
rupees for uncecessary mri and ct scans,
hospitalisation, and surgery. Touts will
undoubtedly get at you if they spot you
clutching report folders while you are
waiting in the outpatient foyer. If you
had gone to visit the hsopital without any
particular doctor in mind, then touts
right from the reception counter to
secretaries to casual visitors will brain
wash you to get your operation from a
particular doctor. Even famous cardiac
surgeon, orthopedic surgeons resort to
this practice thus creating a miasma of
unethical behaviour.
Who does it benefit? Not you as a patient
certainly. You may end up loosing one of
your organs, or having an unnecessary
operation, or pay up money for the benefit
of the hospital.
It is common knowledge that apollo delhi
tried to destroy evidence to cover up for
the infamous son of a notorious father.
This big time fraud on the nation is here
to stay unless you wake up and start
questioning.
