Dissenting Diagnosis Book blows lid off corruption among doctors in private hospitals :- An intriguing book — which alleges that doctors carry out bogus surgeries in order to meet sales targets and further their own profits, thus robbing patients of their hard-earned money — has created a flutter among the medical fraternity and masses alike. After it was published, even Indian Medical Association members have raised their eyebrows at the alleged malpractices rampant among doctors in private hospitals and pharma companies.
Dr Arun Gadre and Dr Abhay Shukla penned the book, 'Dissenting Diagnosis', which was published by Penguin. It has exposed a range of malpractices in the medical profession, mainly in private hospitals.
for example, doctors carry out malpractices in order to achieve the targets set by some hospitals, since some such hospitals and pharma companies give rewards to those doctors who achieve their sales targets.
Another shocking malpractice described in the book is that some doctors give patients a dose of anesthesia before claiming to perform a required surgery, and then just perform some stitches and pretend that the surgery has been done. Yet another revelation is that many diagnostic labs pay commissions of between 30% and 50% to doctors for referring patients to the labs.
Dr Sagar Mundada, president, Maharashtra Association of Resident Doctors, said: "This situation (described in the book) has occurred because of MBA graduates and corporates. They are the biggest culprits in converting hospitals into health malls, making the medical profession a business rather than a service."
