comedy of hospital errors

Ms Lakshmi,
I would rather call this a "Tragedy of Hospital Errors". I remember a similar incident happening at Govt General Hospital, Chennai about a year back. But, fortunately , then the body was retrieved before it could be consigned to flames in the crematorium.

Dear Lakshmi,
I have also read the appalling news.Such blunders do happen and I suppose we can forgive the mistake in the case of the dead bodies.Imagin the shock of the people when the person who was declared dead woke up and there was panic thinking that it was a ghost .That is why I always put some cion in hundi before I leave for the hospital.

Yes this is a sad case that u have written off.A family now cremating two bodies, so sad.

But these things do happen sometimes, what to do.

My Dad expired in the operation room when he was being operated upon for the detatchement of the retina, a routine operation, he died of a heart attack during the operation.

Before the operations , reports were taken, and the reports were not good.This doctor, whom dad was keen to get operated by, told us not to worry, whereasw other docs to whom we showed, said Dad's heart is not in the condtion to take the strain of an operation.

We told the Doc, can we at our own expense have a cardiologist in the hospital during the operation, but he refused.And Dad died.

And we fould have complained to the police and have got the doctors arrested, but for that the body would have gone for post morten,so we left it at that, an did nothing.He was hale and hearty otherwise before the operation.

so this has happened in my family too, but at times once the person is gone and the deed done, what can u do ? Just close the chapter.

Mr. Kamaljee,

Really feel sad to read your response. Death on the table is a blot on the surgeon and anaesthetist. Except in very high risk cases threatening life or limb, surgery is always done
on individuals whose physical status can withstand the the anticipated surgery. With improvements in technology, loss of life on the operating table has been brought down to miniscule proportions.

Dear lakshmi,
I also come across the news. sheer negligence of Hospital authorities. In foreign countries, you can sue them. But here if the concerned person has influence in high level, we can not get any justice. That is "Bharath".To day, I read another news. A person, who met with an accident has been declared " dead" and kept in the mortuary, has come alive and walked out of that place. after two days only he died.

Ms Padmini,
We need patience and perseverance to fight against indifferece ,ignorance, and malpractice committed by medical and paramedical personnel and nursing homes and hospitals who are out to cheat the gullible public.
Times of India recently provided iron clad proof about a couple of institutions charging exorbitant capitation fees for admissionto to medical colleges. As usual. the authorities are looking into it. Already the official head of medical education has started backtracking.
Disgusting!!

Dear gopalan,
I also came across that news. but they charged
the "chota" . how about Jagathratchagan, who swindled crores in his institution?now he is a minister.When he was caught, all the net connections were stopped. When this is the case how can we get justice? From top to bottom all are rowdies. so small persons become scape goats in their play. sorry if I am rude. My blood is boiling.

Dr has already became a profession but not serving mission.

I always personally feel that they only keep marks as the criteria for a medical seat but the serving nature should also be considered.

If Dr's consider that as a divine service such errors wont happen.

People are not treated are like human beings.

Ok coming to the comedy part

When i was in 6th std we used to visit our grandparents place in tamilnadu It was a small village.But people are pretty decent there.
But Dr's are comedians there.Actually they dont have any M.B.B.S degree but they might be worked as componder or something in good hospitals because of which they get some knowledge and have good practice over injecting or providing medicine for fever,stomach ache etc like basic health inability when they return to their hometown they start a dispensary and the whole village calls them Dr.

We all cousins had gone to native I am the eldest and all my cousins are younger to me One of my cousin who was of my age fell sick because of which we took to that Poli(fake) Dr.

That fellow had a french beard and without any shirt and clumsy look and resembled like a scientist.His look brought smile in everyone's face.We were all 6 people gone with my cousin brother to consult him.All my cousins were in 2nd - 4th stds I think it was noon so that fella got up from sleep and came out when we knocked the door.

We informed that he is having fever.This person went inside brought a injection and caught hold of my brother and brought it close to inject.

We all started shouting and also laughing that he is not sick This perosn is sick we all were showing my cousin That perosn was nodding his head but didnt leave my brother. My brother panicked and jumped which made the Dr leave his hand.

Then he gave the injection to my cousin.

The thing is people(Dr) are so careless when treating humans.
