Do the poor have a right to live?

Dear Sudha,

A wonderful and pain filled post. I had the honour of visiting this hospital and my experience were also the same. I wonder why cannot our bureacrats and business magnets help these hospitals. Instead of putting so much money on IPL matches, the same could have been donated to help these poor victims. I agree with you, Patients dying here more of lack of basic ammenities. To tell you the truth, though the first grade hospitals boast of up todate medical facilities, they also wait to just suck our blood. When my nephew was suffering from a major disease, I could see the doctor's apathy only because we were talking about the mounting costs and which were quite unaffordable. The same doctor when we had visited his private clinic before admitting the patient to the hospital, was sweetness personified. Once in the hospital he was least bothered........he wanted all the costly life saving equipments to be purchased by us knowing very well that it wont be suitable to the patient. The main idea was he could get the commission.

Sorry, Sudha i went on and on. Seeing the pathetic condition and the standard of service rendered....... i am literally moved but how do we start atleast do some change somewhere.

 

sudha,what a post it is...it is the harsh reality...My prayer is for that kid to recover soon..while seeing these happenings, our heart aches and we feel helpless in those situations.As you had pointed out, let us not take health for granted as this is the gift of God..God is compassionate enough to let the child come to you for help..sure that kid is going to be ok..sriniketan

 

Hats Off to you Sudha!:hatsoff
It is really motivating to read that you have not just ended up giving some money to your maid for the treatment but has been (and still continuing) a moral support and invested your time in the process of her son's treatment.

I would try atleast 1% to follow your example!

Regards

Dear Sudha,

That's an apt post! I was boiling inside when I read your lines and could relate to few experiences I have had.

Nevertheless, till this day I should admit I have not done anything great towards it ...occasionally pumping in money to needy...but that's pretty much it.

Hope I get into better action at least from now on and also hope that one day I grow to a powerful stature through which I can contribute to such needy in a greater way.

Cheers
Jenz

 

I really appreciate your post . Hope the concerned people realise the shortcomings in the facilities .
