Private hospitals are as bad as Government Hospitals

Reported on December 6, 2010 from Hyderabad , Telangana  ι Report #29422

Hi all,

My father was a Government Employee and got expired on 04-10-2007.
He had a severe sweating and nausea at around 10:30 P.M and we rushed him to hospital, which is aroud 0.5 km. from our house. but with our bad luck, we lost him before we got him to the doctor.

Doctor tried Emergency procedures,(although he confirmed on first sight that we lost him), CPR and others and does justice to his duty.

He also have given a writing, that my father was brought dead to hosptial.

Now the story started. when we lose a family member, we dont see and think for logistics. I thought the same and we finished the funerals.

After about a week i went to local municipality for his death certificate. the municipal officals never accepted the certificate by the doctors on hospital letter head, but only on their prescribed format.

When I went back to **********, they escaped saying that he was never admitted,( I still have the bills of the emergency injection, and casuality fees receipt,etcc., with me ) therefore we cant sign it.

at last, the RMO of that hospital took a BRIBE of 1500 and signed on
the format. that too after mentally torturing in many ways.

Thanks and *******
