My mom had a pain in the left hand and we went to Manipal clinic in Jayanagar, bangalore for a regular consultation. Met Dr.Shetty there and he asked for X-ray which was ok... then there was a early stages of spinal problem detected in the report and it clearly stated "to be corrected clinacally" . In spite of that he asked us to get MRI scan which is very expensive abt 5K and in that he showed some pictures and said C4, C5 has slipped disc... needs some traction and physiotherapy immediately and need to be admitted to Manipal Hospital for a week and will cost 20K and then we need the operation to be done for gettign it permanently removed which will cost 1 lakh... this was told to my mom over the phone from the doctor and she was obviosuly scared and our festival mood was gone. Wish I could really sue him and his hospital
