awinash (Guest) 22nd Nov 2017 at 12:08 pm	I don't know others. But my personal experience with big hospitals doctors are not good. I came from small town. We respect doctor like god.
DHARMESH BABARIA 22nd Nov 2017 at 12:08 pm	Few docs are still with enlivened conscience but so many big hospitals have become a trap for patients. For same reason, my younger bro who is a doc didn't join the biggies !!!
sachin 22nd Nov 2017 at 10:01 am	Please do not spread this kind of news. I come from a family full of doctors and i can proudly say none of them care about the money when a patient walks in.
Vijay B (Guest) 22nd Nov 2017 at 12:17 am	What Ruma had mentioned is a fact and no one can deny it. Doctor in big hospital are given target. This is unethical.
Inerdeep Kandwal 22nd Nov 2017 at 12:00 am	A noble profession has just become money minting machine .Sad. what is highly unfortunate ,very difficult to nab them in case of wrong doing. Thx for highlighting this issue
Dr Kamlesh Vyas 21st Nov 2017 at 11:50 pm	Corporate hospitals like fortis are being run by businessmen for profits. I am also a doctor & I give services to tribals at a very low cost .. Please don't blame doctors
Tejas shah 21st Nov 2017 at 11:03 pm	Big hospitals and schools are running on the shoulders of patients (whether they die or remain alive) and childrens only.. (whether they learn or do suicide)
Vivaswan Khanna 21st Nov 2017 at 08:56 pm	This is not a good state for all of us. They are sucking money from needy people.
Abhishek Bansal 21st Nov 2017 at 08:01 pm	indeed a venomous article on doctors. Please guess how much treating doctor earned out of 18 lac bill. Let me tell you it's zero. Overall highly irresponsible write up.
Naresh Malpani 21st Nov 2017 at 06:36 pm	Very sad....Modi sahab is medical loot Ko rokiya..
Radhakrishnan Margabandhu 21st Nov 2017 at 04:12 pm	Treatment is given by doctors and billing is done by accountants. Doctors can be blamed for poor diagnose or negligence in treatment but for high bill the owners of hospital to be blamed.
Apurva (Guest) 21st Nov 2017 at 02:15 pm	Recently, had bad experience at Fortis Mulund (Mumbai) they were giving treatment for dengue & then at one stage they said its probably HIV.... it was just a infection the bill was whopping 3 Lacs
Arvind A Desai 21st Nov 2017 at 01:43 pm	Rumaji , as in any dealing in life the consumer must ask him/herself ,if I can trust the person across the table.
KSR 21st Nov 2017 at 01:36 pm	Really, the corporate hospitals have become business and profit making centres.
Vireshwar Singh Dahiya 21st Nov 2017 at 01:29 pm	contd.....Doctors are not meant to take benefit out of life & death situation. NO ETHICS SEEN EXCEPT FEW EXCEPTIONS. Pathetic situation in India. I hope all professionals stick to ETHICS.
Vireshwar Singh Dahiya 21st Nov 2017 at 01:26 pm	Had really bad experience in case of my father(who had fought war with Pak twice) & few loved ones too. More than 90% are seen too greedy to make profits only. No Humanity at all.
Pratyush Roy 21st Nov 2017 at 01:15 pm	Just because some of the lawyers, ca or others are corrupt, we should not question doctors? Its fact that most of the so called 5 star hospitals are looting public..Tht does not mean all doc r bad
Altaf Kachhi 21st Nov 2017 at 01:07 pm	Good article i think gabbar should backed
Amit A Todkari 21st Nov 2017 at 01:05 pm	Now a days almost all doctors are money minded only. Very few doctors are remain on this earth who knows the social responsibility.
Himanshu Patel 21st Nov 2017 at 12:58 pm	Here big earners are corporate owners which are non doctors. Only sensitive parts are doctors which helps to patient. But such article spreads panic and breaks the trust
Nilesh Chordia 21st Nov 2017 at 12:34 pm	Did anyone miss ' severe dengue' , it is cause my failure of local government , but not a single comment on them, all the malaria ,dengue bill should be paid by them.
Raja Srivathsa (Guest) 21st Nov 2017 at 12:26 pm	Yes. Hospitals do charge exorbitantly. Food bill for a coma patient 3097/- for three days. 30 t0 40% cut to doctors in Scan charges. The system works like that only.
Nitin Garg 21st Nov 2017 at 12:23 pm	Completely true about hospitals, doctors and administrators. Health insurance companies are also in in the scam. No accountability and the power of god. That's a recipe for disaster.
Amolak Garg 21st Nov 2017 at 12:15 pm	This is horrible truth of so called modern India..????
Annie Gupta 21st Nov 2017 at 12:15 pm	This is a story of TOI how many has raised concern with TOI, how many have deleted that appPlaying on fear of already terrified coustomer can never be fair. Great article as always.
Prabhat Sharma 21st Nov 2017 at 12:14 pm	Excellent qoutes,this is exactly what is happening in so called big hospitals. Thanks
RUMA DUBEY 21st Nov 2017 at 12:13 pm	Arvind, Nilesh and Deepika - you are right; all are not the same. Sadly, today it is impossible to separate the grain from the chaff. A few rotten apples spoil the entire basket.
G Jawaharlal 21st Nov 2017 at 12:07 pm	Well said mam. This is absolutely true
Arvind A Desai 21st Nov 2017 at 11:44 am	Prabhu Rama and Ravana are there from time immemorial . Never generalise and paint all with the same brush.
Nandini Wadhwa 21st Nov 2017 at 11:30 am	So true. Personal experience
P Ramarao 21st Nov 2017 at 11:28 am	Both education and medical care are left to commercial sector in the last thirty years by STATE.what can you expect?
Anoogna Bellur 21st Nov 2017 at 11:27 am	this is the case in every field which are basic to human being, be it Food, health care,,Education, or housing. Govt should not allow private players in these fields..
Haresh Bhuva 21st Nov 2017 at 11:27 am	Eye opener . only money minded
Dishant Sahni 21st Nov 2017 at 11:24 am	truth is bitter . it is hard to digest. very true article . this is reality these days.
M Sivakumar 21st Nov 2017 at 11:23 am	Except few all were coming to Medical profession for leading life like celebrities.With drug mafia they loot people professionally.No ethics at all.
Aarti Wadhwa 21st Nov 2017 at 11:11 am	Rightly said, my brother died in Appolo hospital, delhi due to this nature of hospitals and doctors...
Vijay Adhe 21st Nov 2017 at 11:11 am	Need thorough knowledge of profession before maligning full profession as corporate hospitals are run by businessmen and not doctors.
Sitamraju Sree Ramakrishna 21st Nov 2017 at 11:08 am	Well said !!!!! Doctors need to have heart in treating patients rather than inflating expenses
Nilesh Chordia 21st Nov 2017 at 11:06 am	Reliance hospital , kokilaben fortis, Apollo, hinduja,etc all are big cooperates but not doctors.
Saravana Kumar N 21st Nov 2017 at 11:06 am	this is happening everywhere, poor people are in vain. Government has part in this, pathetic
Ravi Kokate 21st Nov 2017 at 11:05 am	Very Sad news and Bitter Truth . Sir, When student & there parents pay Rs1 Cr for MD admission we can expect similar treatment from them to ear the paid fees.
Chetan 21st Nov 2017 at 11:03 am	When you can pay in hotels any amount they charge for facilities they provide ,when lawyer charges exuberant fees why I people don't raise voice why only blame health professionals
Nilesh Chordia 21st Nov 2017 at 10:59 am	Just to correlate, you may be good but your profession is most corrupt one.
Nilesh Chordia 21st Nov 2017 at 10:51 am	Charges of consumables are regulated by government, what doctor has to do with it. Do not equate hospital bills with doctors, there is no relation.
Nilesh Chordia 21st Nov 2017 at 10:51 am	Private hospitals are making money because of pathetic government infrastructure. Do you want to take usfda approved medicine or some from cheap pharma company which has no approval .
Sanjay Goel 21st Nov 2017 at 10:43 am	No knowledge about healthcare. Why u people do not ask government to improve infrastructure of government hospitals. Pathetic.thought. i hpoe doctors can survive and run family on air only.
M.k.saraf (Guest) 21st Nov 2017 at 10:40 am	Who will Bell the ???? cat? Shame to Fortis
Harish Varadrajan 21st Nov 2017 at 10:36 am	Very very sad. The government should take stern measures to prevent such practices.
Deepika K Nayak 21st Nov 2017 at 10:34 am	I am a doctor.we dont treat patients as you have described.therefore you should not generalise the incident.its articals like these that lead to violence against hospital staff.
Jitendra Kumar 21st Nov 2017 at 10:28 am	So very true, we all know how these hospitas or doctors are care for only money and not for patient's well being. For them we are only "murga" and noting else...
Sagar Singh U 21st Nov 2017 at 10:23 am	Similar things have happened in Bangalore hospitals also.. sad to hear such things.. hospitals are selling hope for money
