My all-time favourite lyrics
November maadha mazhaiyil naan nenaiven endren
Enakum kooda nenaidhal miga pidikum endraai
Mottai maadi nilavil naan kulipen endren
Enakum andha kuliyal miga pidikum endraai
Sugamaana kural yaar endraal suseela vin kural endren
Enakum andha kuralil edho mayakam ena nee sonnaai
Kangal moodiya buddhar silai en kanavil varuvadhu pidikum endren
Thayakam enbathe siridhum inri adhu enakum enakum thaan pidikum enraai
Adi unakum unakum ellaam pidika

While a vasoolraja can become a doctor, most doctors nowadays are only vasoolrajas!!!
The last post was about those few people who have voluntarily taken up a very valuable service which would save lives of hundreds of people. This post is about those people whose job is actually to save lives but end up in almost killing them (Literally!!!)
This is again through an experience one of my friends faced at a very “famous”(or notorious?!!) hospital located near Mount Road, Chennai(didn’t want to mention the name but that hospital has a lot of cases associated with it and still those people don’t seem to bother). This post is mainly to warn people against going to the hospital unless they know some doctors there personally who’ll take care or else you can go there through a reference in which case you will know exactly what you require and are not at their mercy!!
My friend was supposed to undergo Laparoscopy since she had acute appendicitis problem. During the initial stages itself, they did not do proper diagnosis and sent her to various specialists for different check ups and tests. In the process, her pain increased and few weeks back when it was totally unbearable, she was admitted. Just like what they show in the film, Ramana, she was lying in the bed, unattended, while her parents were asked to fill various forms. They were asked to take x-ray and scan which were not required for this operation (information courtesy: a colleague of hers who underwent the same operation in another hospital). Just before she was taken to the operation theatre, by chance, her mother enquired about the operation and she was in for a shock!!! They informed that they were going to do open surgery!!!!!! That was supposed to be very painful and anyone who undergoes the operation would have to be bed ridden for two months and it would be extremely painful. A person undergoing Laparoscopy, on the other hand, can carry on with his/her routine work after about one week’s rest. Her mother shouted at those people for being so careless. They brought in a supposedly “specialist” for Laparoscopy. Since the mix up my friend and her parents were shaken up. So they asked a few questions about the operation to the Doctor who answered them in a very rude manner which worsened their fears.
To top it all, inside the operation theatre, though my friend was given anesthesia, its effect worked only after a few minutes. But those few minutes, she had a horrible time. They were making the arrangements for the operation, moving the gadgets and tools, making a lot of noise. This might be just another operation for them, but for the patients, it would scare them. Not just this, two of them poked the needle to find her nerves. They did it so carelessly and it was so painful. And after they did that, they started fighting so unprofessionally on why the other person also poked the needle. Thank God, my friend lost consciousness after this and didn’t get to see any more such stupid acts.
Once the operation was over, they dumped her in some General Ward with many such patients and the nurse who was supposed to take care of them was very rude. The pain killer given to her lost effect and it was so painful for her. So she was constantly asking the nurse for painkillers but the nurse never attended to her until after two hours. The worst part was that, her “already terribly shaken” parents weren’t able to see her until after five hours after the operation was over. Also while discharging no instructions were given to her. She was asked to carry on with her routine work almost immediately. Then, through her colleague, she got to know that if she doesn’t take rest for about one week, either there will be some problem with her pancreas or her intestine would move down. Being a specialist won’t the doctor advice properly on what should be done and what should not be done? I’ve heard many such stories about the hospital but when it happened to my friend, I was really shaken up. These days most of the doctors don’t seem to have any concern for the patients, just bothered about making money out of everything. There was a time when the doctors would wait even for weeks together for a successful normal delivery but now they can’t even wait for two hours and do a cesarean which is so painful for the mother.
P.S: The Hospital name rhymes with a mint that has a famous byline “the mint with the hole” :-p
