 MEDICAL TREATMENT IN INDIA..... 

*AFFECTS EACH ONE OF US IN INDIA*

*WHAT UNETHICAL PRACTICES AND INVOLVEMENT OF THESE GREEDY HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL PRACTIONERS......SHAMEFUL OF TARNISHING THE IMAGE OF MODERN INDIA WHICH IS QUITE AHEAD IN MEDICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY!!*

*THIS REPORT AND OBSERVATION HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY AN AMERICAN DOCTOR.....MUST HAVE SEVERAL TRUTH IN THE SAID ARTICLE CIRCULATED WORLDWIDE!!!*

*pass to your loved ones who come to India for **treatment*
*This is a very important message and you need to share it with as many people as possible. Doctors, regarded as most noble, have all become businessmen and how, these details make clear, direct from the mouth of a highly qualified and respected medical professional himself! Do read............*
*10 ways how doctors in India loot patients** :*
*New Delhi, Sept 10 :**A renowned physician Dr B M Hegde has shown how a large number of doctors working in five-star hospitals shortchange patients in order to keep their management happy and enrich their own pockets. Here is what Dr B M Hegde writes*:

"*Most of these observations are either completely or partially true.
Corruption has many names, and the civil society isn't innocent either. Professionals and businessmen of various sorts indulge in unscrupulous practices. I recently had a chat with some doctors, surgeons and owners of nursing homes about the tricks of their trade. Here is what they said*

*..........**1) 40-60% kickbacks for lab tests**.*

*When a doctor (whether family doctor / general physician, consultant or surgeon) prescribes tests - pathology, radiology, X-rays, MRIs etc. - the laboratory conducting those tests gives commissions. In South and Central Mumbai -- 40%. In the suburbs north of Bandra -- a whopping 60 per cent! He probably earns a lot more in this way than the consulting fees that you pay*

**2) *30-40% for referring to consultants, specialists & surgeons.*
*When your friendly GP refers you to a specialist or surgeon, he gets 30-40%.



**3) 30-40% of total hospital charges**.*
*If the GP or consultant recommends hospitalizations, he will receive kickback from the private nursing homes as a percentage of all charges including ICU, bed, nursing care, surgery*.

**4) *Sink tests* *Some tests prescribed by doctors are not needed. They are there to inflate bills and commissions. The pathology lab understands what is unnecessary. These are called "sink tests"; blood, urine, stool samples collected will be thrown*.

**5) Admitting the patient to "keep him under observation**".*
*People go to cardiologists feeling unwell and anxious. Most of them aren't really having a heart attack, and cardiologists and family doctors are well aware of this. They admit such safe patients, put them on a saline drip with mild sedation, and send them home after 3-4 days after charging them a fat amount for ICU, bed charges, visiting doctors fees.



**6) ICU minus intensive care**.*
*Nursing homes all over the suburbs are run by doctor couples or as one-man-shows. In such places, nurses and ward boys are 10th class drop-outs in ill-fitting uniforms and bare feet. These "nurses" sit at the reception counter, give injections and saline drips, perform ECGs, apply dressings and change bandages, and assist in the operation theatre.At night, they even sit outside the Intensive Care Units; there is no resident doctor. In case of a crisis, the doctor -- who usually lives in the same building -- will turn up after 20 minutes, after this nurse calls him. Such ICUs admit safe patients to fill up beds. Genuine patients who require
emergency care are sent elsewhere to hospitals having a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) round-the-clock*.

*7) Unnecessary caesarean surgeries and hysterectomies**.*
*Many surgical procedures are done to keep the cash register ringing. Caesarean deliveries and hysterectomy (removal of uterus) are high on the list. While the woman with labour-pains is screaming and panicking, the obstetrician who gently suggests that caesarean is best seems like an angel sent by God! Menopausal women experience bodily changes that make them nervous and gullible. They can be frightened by words like "and fibroids"
that are in almost every normal woman's radiology reports. When a
gynaecologist gently suggests womb removal "as a precaution", most women and their husbands agree without a second's thought.*

*8) Cosmetic surgery advertised through newspapers**.*
*Liposuction and plastic surgery are not minor procedures. Some are life-threateningly major. But advertisements make them appear as easy as facials and waxing. The Indian medical council has strict rules against such misrepresentation. But nobody is interested in taking action.



**9**) Indirect kickbacks from doctors to prestigious hospitals**.*
*To be on the panel of a prestigious hospital, there is give-and-take
involved. The hospital expects the doctor to refer many patients for
hospital admission. If he fails to send a certain number of patients, he is quietly dumped. And so he likes to admit patients even when there is no need*.

*10) "Emergency surgery" on dead body**.*
*If a surgeon hurriedly wheels your patient from the Intensive Care Unit to the operation theatre, refuses to let you go inside and see him, and wants your signature on the consent form for "an emergency operation to save his life", it is likely that your patient is already dead. The "emergency operation" is for inflating the bill; if you agree for it, the surgeon will come out 15 minutes later and report that your patient died on the operation table. And then, when you take delivery of the dead body, you will pay OT charges, anaesthesiologist's charges, blah-blah-Doctors are humans too. You can't trust them blindly*.

*Please understand the difference**.*
*Young surgeons and old ones**.*

*The young ones who are setting up nursing home etc. have heavy loans to settle. To pay back the loan, they have to perform as many operations as possible. Also, to build a reputation, they have to perform a large number of operations and develop their skills. So, at first, every case seems fit for cutting. But with age, experience and prosperity, many surgeons lose their taste for cutting, and stop recommending operations*.
*Physicians and surgeons**.*
*To a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Surgeons like to solve medical problems by cutting, just as physicians first seek solutions with drugs. So, if you take your medical problem to a surgeon first, the chances are that you will unnecessarilyend up on the operation table.
Instead, please go to an ordinary GP first*

[www.keralites.net] CAN I BORROW $5?

 

CAN I BORROW $ 5 ?
A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her
5-year old son waiting for her at the door.
- SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'
- MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.
- SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'
- MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said
Angrily.
- SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'
- MUM: 'If you must know, I make $20 an hour.'
- SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.
- SON: "Mummy, may I please borrow $5?"
- The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities. '
- The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door..
- The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
- After about an hour or so, the woman had calmed down, and started to think:
- Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $5 and he really didn't ask for money very often.The woman went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
- 'Are you asleep, son?' She asked.
- 'No Mummy, I'm awake,' replied the boy.
- 'I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier' said the woman. 'It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $5 you asked for.'
- The little boy sat straight up, smiling. 'Oh, thank you Mummy!' he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.
- The woman saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.
- The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his mother.
- 'Why do you want more money if you already have some?' the mother grumbled.
- 'Because I didn't have enough, but now I do,' the little boy replied.
- 'Mummy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow.
I would like to have dinner with you.'
- The mother was crushed. She put her arms around her little son, and she begged for his Forgiveness.
- It's just a short reminder to all
Of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those
Who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $20 worth of your time with someone you love.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of hours. But the family friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
Please don't break this even if you only send it to one person
