Heartless Hospitals & Doctors, the sad story continues...

In contrast to most of my other posts this is completely unplanned, so it is just what I feel right now. After all the comments I received on my blog I had to write this... The reason I had started blogging was not just for fun & leisure, or make it a diary entry of my life. I had a motive to express my opinion and bring up my voice on different issues and concerns. And I tried, atleast sometimes I did, like this one... And after hearing other people's story I feel terrible, its so sad what people have gone through. Not just government hospitals, but even private medical facilities are doing this and just trying to mint money. Many of us might have faced some or other, big or small issues with hospitals & doctors being victim of there carelessness, ignorance, greed and insensitivity. I think it's high time all these Hospitals & Doctors are mad accountable for there actions. I mean, there should be a measure of performance & quality based on the number of unsuccessful cases handled. I know that Doctors are not god and they can't fix everything, but unless they are measured on these scales & they have to face consequences of there actions in there career/business, they won't start acting right. Also the hospitals should not be paid any money in death cases, even if it does not makes there services better, this will atleast stop them from squeezing money out of dead bodies. This definitely needs to be well thought, but there has to be rating based on there performance...
One of my friend was recently saying to me that Doctors have to be very objective and treat there patient/subject as a mere object, so they don't feel any emotions and can treat them well. But as a human being should ever become so insensitive towards another human being, that all you can think is to reap money out of him until last drop of his blood? Wake up people and if you can't be a good Doctor, or even a GOOD human being... just try to become HUMAN, atleast!!!!

Fight Against Max Hospital... just another chain-mail????

I just hate these spams, chain-mails/sms, & forwarded junks (like everybody else loves it, ugh!!). Everyday in our mailbox, we see tons of mails sent by who-knows-who making stupid claims & providing weird information. On top of that, some of them warn you that if you do not follow the chain something BAD will happen to you. Which world are you living in people... must not be the same as I live in, because bad doesn't happens by not spamming other's inbox. I never forward these mails/sms and delete most of them without reading (which is strictly prohibited as per those mails; maybe that's the reason I am not happy these days!!) or send a strict reply warning the sender to never repeat it again (or something BAD will happen to him, lol). Certain mails provide you with stunning information which are mostly hoax/rumors & we spread them by forwarding it further without validations and believing them too...

So I received another forward recently from one of my friends titled "Fight Against MAX Hospital" with an attached presentation too. It was from some Deepika Manchanda from Wipro saying that her sister Nitika Manchanda (who was a Genpact employee) was ill-treated carelessly by MAX
Healthcare, Pitampura (New Delhi, INDIA) which resulted in her death; and she wanted to spread this message across to fight against it. As usual I didn't just believe it; but I didn't delete the email either. I replied back to Deepika asking her about the facts; and she replied back confirming the story (it was on Hindustan Times too, click here). That's when I opened the presentation & had a look and read further details. Honestly, it was not surprising or shocking.. but highly disappointing, inappropriate, painful & shameful as well. This has not happened for the first time in India or the world, but its still very unfortunate...

Please have a look at the presentation/blog by clicking here for more details. It is the unfortunate story of Dr. Nitika Manchanda's death due to irresponsible behaviour & carelessness of Doctors/Hospital and seems Nitika died due to negligence of MAX hospital & its staff. As per latest update from Deepika; postmortem done at Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, does not conclusively say anything except Patechial rashes and hemorrhages all over her body. Final report would come after chemical analysis of blood and viscera examinations is what they are saying. After pressure from the Police Commissioner Delhi, DCP North West, Mr.Bundela is initiating the action for further enquiry ,after 20 days though. A dedicated blog "Fight-Against-MAX" has been created for this cause. Many of us have been victims to others carelessness & ignorance however we have mostly ignored it too. This is the time we should come up together and ignore the ignorance and fight for the cause. Medical professionals & any other people sitting at responsible positions should understand the importance of there role and should pay due attention to it. Someones stupid fault can make someones life faulty and bring it to an end; lets try to make sure this never happens again.

How about you, have you seen any similar cases? What do you think about this? Any other stories or views you might want to share... In the mean time, please keep blogging and keep reading & commenting on my blogs. This is RAHUL saying, Good Bye & Good Luck... JAI HO!!!!
