We, Kolkatans are really helpless and unlucky when a family member gets unwell and needs to be treated at a hospital. We really have a very few options. Though every Kolkatan knows the fact, but I still feel that I should share my experience with all the readers here.
My father was a COPD patient and admitted to the Belle Vue Clinic with chest infection. I experienced the worst nursing services over there. Sometimes they would provide Oxygen from a vacant cylinder instead of the wall connection and nobody had cared until we noticed, the nurse just placed a cotton ball after removing a channel from the left hand and eventually blood came out from that point. My father was required to do abdominal x ray and the x ray department is housed in the 1st floor. They took my father from the 6th floor to the 1st floor without oxygen. As a result he needed the support of the ventilator. These were the result of utter negligence on the part of the Clinic's management.
Then it was the turn of the Doctor. My father was admitted under Dr. Subrata Moitra and team. They treated my father in such a way that made them completely unaware of the result of the treatment. They were not confident of their treatment. After two days in the Clinic my father's condition got worse and he was in such a condition that we could not shifted him to another hospital.
Ultimately my father did not survive and that was the most shocking part of the whole incident. And not to forget the huge amount of bill that they charged. In fact I am apprehensive to write the amount. After my father's death I told him to forgive me because of all the troubles that you had gone through in the clinic.
