Recently ieon 29th wednesday my husband and I went to fortis to get our regular routine blood tests to be done .it was not crowed we paid took the coupen and went inside my husband went inside and I followed him .before I could go he was made to sit on a chair for drawing the blood .a persom a lady staff nurse must have been just passedout came with the bottles to draw the blood for my husband and I sat on the other chair.thinking it would be a normal procedure it was a nightmare .she pricked my husband once on rt side no blood missed the vein .tried again failed by the time she went to call her senior .she leftthe senior near my husband came to me and started drawing blood .i was watching my husband 3rd time wad being pricked the senior failed and tried fourth time before I could ask him to stop my husbsnd lost touch with durroundings and went into a vaso vagal syncope . And mind u not a single doctor in thr lab .i zm a doctor myself noticing the situation I pulled out my needle and ran to my husbsnd znd made him lie down and asked for water and glucose .it took 10 minutes for them to get it in the meanwhile another patient brought the water and when I asked for a bp appartus with some delay it was fetched snd his bp was recorded as90/60.and I had to ask for a bed to lie down for my husband .this hospital is supposed to adsociated with some forrign hospitsl .is these the standard of treatment meted out to patients .for get treatment no idea among them to tackle the situation .how can we call it world standard .byGods grace znd my presence of mind and my long training and working in nimhans noything happened to him snd I brought him back safely . Nextif u have staff who cannot draw blood what is the quality of the staff .what is the quality of staff if they cant manage a vasovaga lattack .i dread going to fortis .last but not the least to get whhelchair attendant the officialswere not there and I had to wheel him arond .being a doctor l knew what to do .what is the fate of lay persond whose lives are in the , hands of such untrained staff who cant draw blood or to manage a person with vaso vagal shock.next at least a word of sorry ftom the staff came out.
