If all the doctors will follow the oath they had taken then I feel all the hospitals would be a better place than we are seeing now.....

The Oath of Hippocrates

I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others.

I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!

This is the first basic thing what all the hospitals should do. First they should admit the patient & then charge the required fees. But people in the hospital ask the fees first & then only they allow the patient to get admitted.....this is dangerous as the patient may die also.

Hospital management is a separate domain today, Its no one man show. Using proper systems, training & evaluation monitoring, upgrading process and surveillance mechanism in place, moreover feedback and grievance redressal has to be effective. Cover – up cases to be handled by different team as nothing is this world (Universe) is sudden!!

Thank you Ms Neha S, you inked that I did not.

Best regards,

Thank you.

Munnabai MBBS is the best comment on doctors and hospitals and that is what is happening in private and public hospitals.  Doctors and Hospitals should also be covered under the law for deficiency in service

I suggest, we understand their problem first..MBBS 4 Years, MD/MS another 2 years, Super Specialty 1 more year. Subject to getting the seat and clearing the exams without backlogs. That means for 7 years after +2, they have to depend on parents even for their pocket money. This is in addition to the fee, cost of books and other equipment required. And while co-borns are earning and supporting parents...This leads to (a) don't care attitude and (b) looking for ways to make quick bucks...This a doctor student told me.. He pleaded  "Uncle, don't send your children for medical studies.." Look at his parents... investing money on this man for 7 years..Just think about it..

Ethics of one and exploitative tendencies of the other can never go together.

Everyone expects Doctors to be ethical...fair enough, yet mostly forgetting, they are as well human and part of a society where they are fleeced at every step whether dealing as person or even while as a professional. To keep expecting is fine yet we must learn to begin with self as example in delivery to society.

Unless society as a whole starts to course correct, it is a futile expectation from a single section to tread on ethics and it may never get fulfilled. 

Hospitals are places where we get in more than temples, we believe doctors are the god whom we can see...but now a days hospitals are only money making organizations...I do feel it would be really better if they comfort the patient as well as the relatives, treat the disease, then charge appropriately we could get some faith in them.

Hope you all agree..

its true that service sectors are emerging  today like flying colors ........

but to add ,the recent incident in UP ... where doctors made a mistake .......... by operating an infant of two weeks ....... it had come hospital coz it had some problem with its ears , but the doctors operated its intestine.!! shocking na

so instead of just saying that the hospitals should improve . first let them perform their duty properly

but in the other hand its true that they are providing ample of services to the public

OATH.

Yes Doc's do follow oath but the oath what management has asked to follow .

And like any other industry they too have competitors and the competition is huge .

Doc's too have to achieve numbers on time .

The only solution is govt interference .

I want to say that today private hospitals in Delhi are charging too much for the personal touch. They should try to be more economical and doctors should prescribe only important tests rather than asking for too many unnecessary tests which scare the patients.

And also they should avoid asking for too many consultations for diseases like viral fever. 

The life of every human being  is precious one.He or she should receive unflinching treatment she he or she is need.The patient faces a fluke when he approaches the hospitals on many counts and one of  is money,his worth and his connections.The service tag must be created based on pattern of UID and he  should immediately be admitted without fuss.

The Hospitals should stop behaving like MONEY BANKS... even Banks nowadays 'Think' about providing better services to their clients.

I have been associated with Hospitals as a Creative Director & have also personally EXPERIENCED their Medical side too...

The approach needs to be SOFTENED & MORE HUMANIZED... givng solace to the Patient & their Families. Their BODY LANGUAGE, MANNERISM & TONATION needs to change drastically. 

Last but not the least ...  They should stop their Patient SCARING tactics. If U dont take this Treatment, ths will happen.

I Pray to GOD ALMIGHTY... Not to Hospitalise even an Enemy...!
