I am sure all you guys out there must be wishing all the time that they should never ever come to a point when they have to look for some medical assistance and if bad stars do make you land in that situation one prays hard NOT TO land in the hands of those doctors who have been tagged as GREEDY & MONEY MAKING MACHINES! This has been my all time fear!
Anyway, few weeks back that moment came in my life when I needed medical assistance for which I found Sagar Apollo Hospital most suitable as it is situated near my house besides its buliding gave me a positive impression which unfortunately turned into negative the day I landed inside the hospital.
I was scheduled to meet a gynae over there so I with my husband went and sat in the waiting area. After 30 minutes one lady appeared, all dressed up as if to have come for some marriage function! Little did I know that she was the doctor I had come to meet! I entered in the room and started explaining my problem to which she didnot pay much attention( I could clearly see)and immediately reached to some conclusion without even examining me! but when I insisted that I want to undergo some tests to be able to get the accurate diagnosis then she asked her assistance to prepare a note for that and asked me to go for blood test and come next day with the report.
i gave my blood and was asked to collect it next day in the evening. Next day after office we rushed to the hospital to collect the report in time as my treatment depended on that report. We waited at the counter but only to hear that your report is NOT ready as the machine wasOUT OF SERVICE!
Both my husband and i were shocked. We went to meet the in-charge and asked him GODFORBID, WHAT IF MY BLOOD REPORT HAD SIGNALLED FOR AN IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION WITHOUT ANY DELAY? In resonse he showed his helplessness by shrugging and mutted few inaudible words! Later when I went to meet the gynae she immediately said that I should have checked before coming!
Thankfully blood report was ok but little scanning was required for which again we went thru the same running around due to the poor cordination among hospital staff and ended up spending the whole afternoon in the hospital for a thing which would have taken merely 30 mintues in other places!
Now NO MORE VISITS to Sagar Apollo Hospital! Can any one please suggest a good and reliable hospital in Bangalore? I will really appreciate that.
