last week I happened to be in Rohtak where my in-laws live. my father-in-law was very ill for a long time & private hospital treatment was ineffective. since there is a famous Post-Graduate Medical institute (PGIMS) In rohtak which has many renouned specialists, we decided to try our luck there. This was my 1st brush with a govt hospital & it was an eye opener for me.
- Written instructions on display along with personnel at enquiry counters who have the attitude of an insecure ageing movie actress ensured that the harassed & harrowed patients & their relatives who are a little less inclined towards literacy run around like headless chicken.
- Endless paperwork which needs to be filled & presented at a zillion counters & departments spread across 10 acres of medical labyrinth & if there is a mistake in your form...the race starts all over again.
- Highly motivated para-medical staff who work like machines on low power supply & speak with the warmth of an IVR machine are very instrumental in making you feel welcome.
- Even though there is adequate supply of medicines & medical equipment, you are still sent away to the medical stores located outside the hospital for drugs needed for emergency treatment.
- Whoever talked about cleanliness at hospitals needs to visit this place & take tips. This hospital is a supermarket of all kinds of friendly germs & hospitable antibodies. You also have mice, roaches & lizards for company.
- Expert nurses ensure that you are stabbed at least 5 times before they find the right vein in your arm for IV, & they all the disposition of a drill sergeant when called for in the middle of their siestas.
- At regular intervals, some medical professor would walk in to the room with his entourage of medical students & from then on the lucky patient gets to be the designated guinea pig & gets probed, examined, turned around in various angles for inspection. The best part is that each student would discover some anomaly & complication with the triumph of Columbus when he discovered America.
