I am sure this is what we had to do to keep us away from Doctor / Hospital, My friend Rohit (Yeah his name is also Rohit) are here in Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh - India) since last 15 days and We’ve been eating Idli, Dossas and Rice since last 10-15 days, still have got another 10 more days to eat same till our families don’t shift to Hyderabad - thanks to Agarwal Packers and Movers - Review coming shortly - Keep watching MS :).
Finally - Day before yesterday half of the very useful organs of my friend stopped responding, and some of them had started malfunctioning like his eyes were swollen, hands have some pimple kind of things and his stomach was out of order - throwing semi liquid....... kindda stuff.
So finally to cure him we visited one of Hyderabad’s Super Specialty Hospital as the name suggests, which is named after the mother of Lord Krishna - Yashoda. Yeah Yeah - I know she was the one who didn’t give birth to Krishna but took his care...... But the kind of treatment we got in Yashoda is simply unforgettable.
The Hospital’s Punch line is Dial 105910 Save A Life I am not sure how true it would be
First things First - The parking - There is nothing called Parking space here, hardly 8-10 cars can be parked - remaining will have to be left on the main road. Although nobody is going to tow them away but they will further add some more chaos into the already jam packed traffic of Hyderabad these days.
Reception : Tier 1 : I am unable to understand the use of two Tier receptions, right at the entry and after crossing the first hall there is another reception...... ????
Registration : The moment we checked with the Tier 2 Receptionist who was very busy on phone - On Asking about a General Physician, she took out a form and started filling it, She asked us ’’Your Naame Saar, Your Mobbil Naamber Saar, Whaats Wrang Saar ??’’. things like that. ’’Rs. 200/- Saaar’’. After that she directed us towards an adjoined hall where almost 15-18 people were seated waiting for different doctors to ring the bell so that the office boy can send us in. This Area was fully air-conditioned.
One of the doctors was sitting with some of his relatives over a cup of tea, and his patients were waiting patiently outside so that the meeting gets over and they get to see the doctor.
One of the patient was so sick that he couldn’t even sit and was almost lying down on three chairs, and the ladies sitting on this halls reception kindda table were very busy with each other, were not bothered about anybody inconvenience in there.
Preference : I came to know later on - that they were giving preferences also to some people, Like a foreigner came after us but was being accompanied with a hospital staff and was straight being sent inside to the General Physician for whom we’d been waiting.
We almost waited for a little less than 2 hrs, but alas my friends luck was running hard, suddenly an emergency case came in (that’s what we’d been told) and Doctor rushed out as if he was the only doc in the whole hospital who could have saved that patient. And to our amazement there was not even a single doctor available who could work as a back up doctor for the remaining patients (My friend and I were among them) :)
My Frustrated Friend went to the reception - he was very annoyed and agitated, he simply told the ladies ’’busy with themselves’’ to get him his token back.
We went back to the tier 2 reception and gave that token to the lady who took the money from us and told her that we waited for 2 hrs and were not being attended by any doctor as of now, she didn’t even bothered to show any interest or apology - straight forward - opened the cash box and returned the money - wrote cancelled on the form and kept it back in the form book.
I felt as If this is the usual scene in here at ’’Yashoda Super Specialty Hospital’’, that’s why they are returning the patients money so efficiently.
I was happy at least they are efficient in doing something.
So on our way back we bought two apples (one for each of us) - To my amazement here in Hyderabad they give apples by the count and not in Kilos, this guy charged us 20/- each for an apple.
Whatever.......... we are counting that this saying is true.... An Apple A Day Keeps The Doctor Away...... Till we are here in Hyderabad.
