Very shocking,but true confessions by doctors.Many of the corporate
hospitals are money suckers and have no ethics whatsoever in providing
treatment.

> Doctors with conscience speak out!

>
> NEW DELHI: In order to benefit the hospital and meet its commercial needs,
> one has to do things like keeping patients in the hospital longer than
> necessary, and doing unnecessary investigations and procedures (including
> angioplasty) since there was pressure from the management of the hospital.
>
> My conscience began pricking and I left the hospital- Dr Gautam Mistry,
> Kolkata, cardiologist who left a corporate hospital after seven years.
>
> A reference for angioplasty can earn a doctor Rs 30,000-40,000 - Dr Rajendra
> Malose, general practitioner, Nashik
>
> Recently, a young doctor who joined our department told me, "Sir, every
> month there is a meeting with the CEO. He asks me questions because instead
> of having a 40% conversion rate for OPD-operative as per the target, my
> conversion rate is just 10-15%. (Conversion rate means out of all patients
> seen by the doctor, how many are advised to undergo surgery or procedures.
> Rational doctors try to keep this rate low, but profit-driven hospitals try
> to maximise number of surgeries and procedures, even if they are
> unnecessary). He tells me that such low conversion rate will not do, and
> that unless I increase it, I will have to leave the hospital." This young
> doctor will certainly surrender one day. To survive professionally, he will
> start doing 20-25% of additional procedures that are not required by medical
> logic. What choice does he have?"... And each corporate hospital has such
> targets! There is no getting out of it. - Super specialist from a metro
>
> Pharma companies are giving foreign tours and junkets to doctors. It happens
> under the pretext of medical study. Unfortunately, some doctors eagerly wait
> for the pharma company invitation for foreign tours- Dr HV Sardesai,
> physician Pune.
>
> Corporate hospitals only want doctors who can help them earn more money. As
> a result doctors who practise ethically cannot last there. I know of a
> hospital where if a patient is charged Rs 1.5 lakh, the doctor gets a mere
> Rs 15,000. 90% of the income goes to the corporate coffers. Corporate
> hospitals can advertise while individual doctors are not allowed- Dr Sanjay
> Gupte, gynaecologist, Pune, ex-national president of the Federation of
> Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI)
>
>
> These are just a few of the shocking revelations by 78 doctors from small

> commercialisation of medical care. The doctors range from general
> practitioners to super specialists in corporate hospitals. These interviews
> that expose the corruption in private healthcare have been put together by
> SATHI (Support for Advocacy and Training to Health Initiatives), an NGO, to
> highlight the lack of regulation of the sector.
>
>
> A report based on these interviews titled, "Voices of Conscience from the
> Medical Profession: Revealing testimonies by rational doctors about the
> reality of private medical practice in India" has been put together by Dr
> Arun Gadre, a doctor and writer with 20 years' experience of working as a

> The report will be released at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences
