Bad experience on 10th April 2021:
I took my wife, a senior citizen, for some lab tests today at 6:45 am and there was no one in the lab to take samples. We were asked to wait for the technician. When no one turned up even after 30 minutes, I was told that due to transport strike, the concerned technician was walking from home to reach the hospital. I was appalled to hear that a hospital with commitment to run labs on 24x7 basis does not even make some alternate arrangements for its staff to reach hospital in time to attend to patients. When more people started to gather for lab tests, I had to request the only staff in the reports section to help and she obliged though tired after the night shift. Is it proper on the part of hospital to keep seniors waiting and exposing them to unwanted infections especially during the pandemic time?
