Unprofessional and Inhumane

As per the oncology head himself, there is a shortage of staff compared to the number of patients getting admitted to the hospital, and even the employed ones aren’t paid enough to treat you like a human being. He was justifying the lack of timely service even in the ICU wing. Imagine what would be the case in other wards. They brag about having the best equipment and the most technologically advanced diagnosis in the medical field, yet not one person could give you clarity on what they are planning to do about the evidently deteriorating condition of a patient. They talk big talks but in action you see nothing. Not even 1 percent effort to actually save someone’s life or to give the right medical support to ease their condition. They claim that they have multi-specialist wings; the very reason why most doctors recommend you to go to Amritha. What no one tells you is that none of these departments coordinate, collaborate or work together to treat a patient but they all act as if you went to independent hospitals where they don’t have a way to communicate with each other. Most of the time, as a patient’s bystander, it’s your job to let each specialist know what the other one said. They claim they’discuss’ patients’ treatment plans in an’alleged’ tumor board to take the best course of action and yet the consulting radiation oncologist in your own hospital got no clue that his patient is back in the hospital with much-worsened condition despite his’cyberknife’ attempts to kill an oligo metastatic cancer without applying chemo/immunotherapy. More so, don’t be surprised to see the staff entering ICU wing without a mask(apparently this applies only to the bystanders who visit), a room in charge who thinks it’s okay to shout at the bystanders for asking for the bare minimum, junior doctors coming and giving you verdicts as in how long the patient would survive and one doctor mocking another doctor’s analysis right in front of the patients(maybe that will increase the trust in the hospital and the doctors they employ) and most of them behaving like you are their charity case. Yet none of them shows in the bill. As per the final bill, they do seem like a multi-specialist hospital indeed. Now you take a call, whether you’d want to take your loved ones here.
