Be very careful. For reasons unknown to many, this hospital do not give the full and final report of your eye examinations and the doctors prescription / diagnostics copy to patients. I had to insist on getting it and had to talk to CEO and only when several patients in the waiting room started supporting me, they gave a print out. This, as I was told, is not a standard process. They gave it to be because I insisted on getting one.
Which other hospital anywhere operates like this?( Curious to know!)
PLEASE PLEASE INSIST ON GETTING THE DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION / DIAGNOSTIC SHEET and all TEST REPORTS( for all the tests that they have done on your eyes) - PLEASE PLEASE demand IT even if you are going to go back to Sankara for next check up
Why do you want the reports? several reasons
( 1) You want to understand the details of test results and diagnostics by searching in the internet or by talking to a friend of yours? Your only reference is this report
( 2) You have an emergency and not in a situation to reach the Sankara hospitals in Marathahalli, Bangalore - Having a copy of the full and final reports will help you
( 3) If something goes wrong( even if the probabilities are low, when it happens to you, and if you do not have the reports with you, you will realise that its follish not to obtain the reports and leaving it with the hospital authorities)
( 4) Sometimes the insurance companies might single out you for a random verification / validation check - You better have your reports
PLEASE INSIST FROM THE BEGNNING - AT THE TIME OF REGISTRATION, WHILE DISCUSSING WITH YOUR DOCTORS, BEFORE MAKING PAYMENTS etc - Do not go by the sketchy summary report that they provide -
ALSO NOTE DOWN THE NAMES OF THE DOCTORS YOU SEE - The final report is prepared in the names of some other doctors. You MUST know who is examining you and making judgement. Its a hospital and not a shop! We patients should remember that in a world where everything is "Managed" like a "commercial; establishment".
Sankara doing a lot of charity work is commendable - But do not compromise on other things because they do some good stuff for the society.
