Requirement of health reform in India
Some years back while I was in college my father had his Bypass surgery, after the surgery the doctors were giving him diuretics in the general section while discharging him after 1week of hospital stay they stopped the diuretics intake, nothing happened then but later after 2days he started complaining about chest pain and difficulty in breathing, we immediately took him to hospital. Doctors said that water filled in his chest, we asked him the reason he said normally this happens after bypass, I was not satisfied by the answer and had been periodically checking what all medicines father was taking and then lately I realized they started giving diuretics as BD dose which was earlier given as OD dose….then I went and cross questioned the Doctor he accepted his mistake….but slight harm was already done….What I don’t understand now every big hospital the doctors see the Big money lying on the table they are not bothered about the humanity aspect which they have taken oath, we in India should have health reform bills we should cover patient safety aspect rather than treating them as Guinea pigs
