Few years ago my father died of ILD(Interstitial Lung Disease), as per the doctors. I had my doubts about the diagnosis, but I had no where to go to for second opinion. There is a private hospital syndicate in every city of India; no hospital goes against other hospitals in the same city; they will cover each others back because most of the hospitals have the same "consulting doctors". They just loot the patient's relatives by prescribing same drug but from different manufacturer. And if they realise that the patient is going to die, then the family members are pressured to take the patient home or elsewhere, this is to avoid "death count" on their register. I was literally asked to take my father home the day he died suggesting that "take him home, we will provide the ambulance and he will die on the way home so it won't be on anyone of us!"
The medicine profession in India is not just joke, it is inhumane and lacks any value for humanity.
India should have looked at some of the European countries when setting up it's healthcare, education and news media policy. Unfortunately the country has copied verbatim everything in this regard from the US!
