I would like to highlight poor & unreliable medical services of our capital New Delhi. I had taken my mother to Action Balaji Hospital, Paschim Vihar, a reputed hospital in West Delhi with all modern facilities, on having some complication a couple of months back. She had a bout of blood oozing out along with cough. On arrival she was immediately admitted in ICU of the hospital though at that time she had gone there on her foot & fully conscious with no other problem. After about eight hours & another bout of same complication as above ocurred and the doctors at the ICU put her in ventilator & sedation. For next two days she was kept in same condition. In the meantime I had to sign a No. of undertakings so that the hospital and doctors be safe in any eventuality & I was told that they could not diagnose the disease in spite of several tests conducted on her. After 48 hrs she was taken out of ventilator & sedation. In another 24 hours she completely came out of sedation & again became quite normal talking to me when I went to meet her. During the above period the doctor told me that her pulse & BP was quite normal with little fluctuation though they did not allow me to see her case paper. After nearly six hour suddenly I was told that she had another bout of above mentioned complication and she had expired of that.
In the above sequence of event it is amply clear that she had died of not getting any treatment as even after three days the doctors could not diagnose a cause for the complication she was suffering from. During my short stay at the hospital I saw quite a few people died at the hospital. I was also had bad experience about doctor in terms of relationship also. The doctor was quite rude and repulsive in nature though nowadays so many training & seminars are held for improving doctor-patient relationship. The big Pvt hospitals in Delhi has only become business houses with doctors their salesman. Is there a son who lost his mother due to deficient service can do anything against the hospital.
