Kamakshi Hospital[KH] is one of the worst hospital I have seen in real life. Most of the movies has showed like Doctors are busy with the treatment and they are doing their best but in reality Kamakshi hospital doctors are busy in thinking how to earn money from the patient. Here is my incident,
my baby is 9 months old. She got high fewer on sunday. Most of the pediatric hospitals are closed on sunday. I was thinking for the hospitals near by Velachery. I got strike of KH(very badly). I googled the number and heard they have 24 hours pediatric emergency care. I reached the hospital @ 9:10PM, no doctor in hospital, one nurse checking my baby temperature, it was 103.8F. She was keep on trying to reach doctor. @ 9:30PM one doctor came, she told baby looks like dehydrated and we need put IV line to provide trips. I aggreed to give treatment since the fewer needs to come under control. They told us to keep waiting outside. They tried to put IV in the veins but they were not success in getting up the veins. 2 sisters and 1 doctor started to put IV at 10PM, baby was keep on crying. one sister coming out and telling we are trying our best please be patient [even for small problem they will give big treatment and create panic] and don’t get panic. After some time, sister came out and ask for some water for the baby, after 5 mins again they have started searching veins for IV line. Baby keep on crying at 11PM again they have started asking water and repeat the process. We told baby was keep on crying and lossing all its energy so we have to feed the baby. They gave 20mins to feed the baby. https://m.mouthshut.com/11 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" >@11:30 again they have started searching the veins and and they also got nervous since they couldn’t get any veins. One more Doctor came @ 12AM from outside and looked into my baby. He was telling since the baby was keep on crying they couldn’t able to find out the veins. If the baby cryies then the veins will be thin and difficult to find out, by this time they have inserted the needle into my baby hand and legs 20 times approx. new doctor told they will wait for some time so that you can give the baby cerelac. Once it becomes energitic the veins can be easily found out. New doctor go to next cabin, whispering to the sister and other doctor, if you keep on trying you wont get it since the veins will be thin. It will be like, 1st time you will be confident but you wont get the veins, 2nd time baby will keepon crying and you wont get it. 3rd time your hands will become nervous and you wont get the veins. New doctor go back to his duty. At 12:30 AM again they have started inserting the needels into my baby veins and couldn’t get it, by this time My wife is also with my baby and she observed all the nurse inside the room was getting nervous while trying to insert the needle, by this time my baby throat was gone, she was crying for more than 3hours. Luckly baby fewer got reduced. Around 1:10AM I told doctor that you can give rest to my baby since the fewer is under control and we will monitor till morning. If there is a fewer in morning we can go for trips, but that doctor doesnot respond to my words. One nurse came out and told we are trying our last chance, if we didn’t get it we will send you to the room. Finally my baby came out from OP without any treatment and send back to the room. Next day morning 9:30AM main doctor came and told your baby is under control and responding to the medicines so we will give oral drops. and if their is a spike in fewer we will give trips. she told I have found out a new veins and whispering I will ask senior doctor who has good experience to insert the IV line to the baby. That means for sake of hospital they are having doctors in night time who was not fit for the job to handle the baby with care [which was ridiculous].
Through out the day they didn’t give any treatment but my baby has severe cold and cough. Around 2:00 PM I asked the nurse what treatment you have given for my baby, they told we are monitoring and if there is a spike in fewer we will give trips. [for sure they cant give trips since no one is there to put IV line properly]. I asked what about cold and cough? They told will check with duty doctor once they came. 2:30PM duty doctor came and enqiuired about the baby with us. still now they have not speak about the cold and cough. I started asking what treatment you have given for cold and cough, she don’t have an answer and whispered to the nurse to give one drop. so many bullshit things happen with new duty doctor cant explain all this, will end with final incident of the day. 9:30PM duty doctor will come for a visit but that day 10:30PM but still no doctor. I was discussing with my wife even if duty doctor came what he is going to explain or give treatment. why we was wasting our sleep. So we decide to sleep. 11:00 PM doctor came. he told to remove the diaper and put underpad to calculate how much urine the baby goes on that night and gave one white paper and ask us to put an entry in the paper with time. if the baby goes urine 2 times that paper should have 2 entries with 2 time. what a bulshit doctor. If they want to keep this kind of nonsense data then they have to allocate one nurse to monitor and keep an entry in the paper. Next day morining housekeeping came and ask what to do with that underpad where the baby goes urine. We told to clean it off. Doctor told to use underpad to understand how much urine the baby goes through out the night, but this can be calculated even with Diaper weight. I think he is poor not only in doctor but also in mathematics. Doctor have not even asked about the quantity of urine the baby goes on last day. Next day Main doctor came and told baby was having cough and cold so we have to give inhaller and nebulizer I was having a strong disagrement, she doesn’t give treatment for cold and cough on first day, during 2nd day baby is recovering but the doctor telling we have to start treatment. KH doing all for getting money. 1st they are making the patient more sick and zooming us that they are giving the treatment and they are responding to it. I understand the formula how KH earning the money So I have asked main doctor to discharge asap by morning itself. she asked me whether you have gone for medical insurance. I said yes. she replied, to process your claim, it will take around 5:00PM so we will discharge you evening. Finally I told I will pay the amount and cancelled my medical insurance. After paying 14000+ my baby was discharged without any treatment, even I have not received any blood test result, they told to collect after 5 days since the blood test lab is in another location. Now I went for another hospital, they looked into the baby and gave 1 antibiotic and 1 cold+cough+vomiting syrub for the baby. And told there is no dehydration, come after 2 days. Please be cautious about KH.
