Welcome to the Jungle!!!
Recently one of my relatives was admitted to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana, Punjab. It had heard that it is one of the best Medical colleges in India?.may be but not the best hospital. Yea, like all other hospitals making of the file is necessary before the treatment starts and there is no Munnabhai here to help you so that your file is made faster. It all depends on the mood of the staff, if they are not in good mood ah! God help you, you will have to stand for hours before your work gets done.
It?s assumed that in the hospital the staff will take care of the patient, but there is something different happening in this hospital. The nurses whether in the ICU or in the ward will tell you frankly that their duty is just to provide medicines and in no other way they will help the patient. So atleast one person has to sit along the bed of the patient even in the ICU to help the patient from time to time.
Making the patient comfortable is not in their dictionary. So what you do? The answer is you cannot trust to leave the patient even for a minute and hence you need a helper for 24 hours a day sitting next to the patient?s bed.
The doctors are good but the problem is that most of the doctors here are appointed as consultants and they come only once in a day to examine the patient. In case of emergency you have to rely on the resident doctor, as sometimes it becomes difficult locating the consultant doctor.
At last, everywhere in the hospital and specially in the ICU you will see boards mentioning KEEP SILENCE but the patient is not able to get rest because the nurses always chatting among themselves.
And how else they can pass 8 hours of their so-called duty? So, just think twice if someone recommends you about Dayanand medical College and Hospital, Ludhiana.
