Hi Friends,
Never ever go to Rigid or Lifeline Hospital. The doctors and people working there are as greedy as wolves.
I encountered an ugly experiance from the Dr. Rajkumar(Rigid & Lifeline Hospital) when I took my father(ailing with large Gastric Ulcer on Feb 2, 2007.
“ Even without examining my father nor completely referring all the medical reports, he asked me to admit my father for an operation in just 2 days.
And he said that my father’s entire stomach has to be removed. My parents and I were totally surprised by the way he arrived at the option of performing a surgery. Without giving us much time, he asked us to contact the reception guy regarding the admission and operation charges. He also said that he will do the surgery only in LifeLine hospital and not in Rigid Hospital. We were biased by the way he talked and were not given much time to think. Since we didn’t had much exposure We even finalized to admit my father the next day. At that time, the Lifeline hospital in Perungudi was not even fully built.
The guy at the reception said that they have packages for hospital admission. He offered me “1 Lakhs for 5 days” package excluding medicines, lab, and surgeon charges. Fortunately, one of my uncle found it fishy and asked me to go for second consultation. Later we came to know that for my father, if he was operated he wouldn’t have survived more than a month. So as per the Second doctor’s advice we admitted my father in another hospital. My father recovered by taking basic therapy and medicines….”
Even now if I recollect the doctor’s greed and the situations we underwent, I feel a Holy presence has save us from those cheaters.
My kind advice to all my brothers and sisters reading this. Never ever go to LifeLine or Rigid Hospitals in Chennai(or) in any part of INDIA.
