It was a nice article, appreciating the doctor's work. Its very easy for us to just blame the system (BMC as always) for our woes, and keep abusing the doctors/sweepers/policemen for our grieveances, when there are actually many efficient people serving in the BMC, who do there work without any complaints.
The fact is that the Government hospitals are so much overloaded with people that the doctors are at times treating 20-30 patients at times.
Its when we faces such situations and actually ineract with the concerned people , that we realize how efficient they are and how they perform there duties under so much stress and burden.
Real kudos to Dr Ram. What is the need of the hour for our country is the people of the calibre and dedication of Dr Ram who will work selflessly. I salute Dr Ram.With people like him around we need not worry about the future of our country. May the tribe of Dr Ram grow is my prayer to The God Almighty. I hope this message reaches him.
Most of the senior Doctors says " If you have not served in a Govt. Hospital, you are not a Doctor" The PSUs and Govt Organisation have excellent talent and prior to opening up of the Economy, most of the passed outs of AIIMS, PGI Chandigarh, AFMC, IITs, RECs (Now NIT) were joining these organisaion. Because they are committed, they are continuing. What they receive, a salute like this. If any body look to their compensation, they survive only on sustainance allowance, whereas their counterparts are getting heavy pay packets.
Whenever we get opportunity, we should salute and compensate then tangibly.
I think media, again should highlight this point, Government Doctors which work atleast in Maharashtra are committed, you will find many Dr Ram in Govt Hospital, only thing is that the perception about Govt Hospital changes only after having personal experiences like your reporter, Can we change such Perception?
Remember Pereception is always bigger than truth. I know Dr Subramanium sir, In Civil Hospital Sangli and his Surgery unit , which is totally comitted to wellness of the mankind.
Media nowadays plays a role of destroyter instead of creative journalism. Rediff be creative like this only.
Read the incedence!! it was really very nice...yes there are good people all around even among the currept system.. only thing is that all such good experiences got vanished and burried and all those bad experences surface up and therefore we start believing that everything is rotten but no, it is not like that.. I too salute all those persons who selflessly for others.. Vinayak Joshi
Last month our House maid was hospitalized in Govt Hospital run by BMC in Goregoan(W).
My wife & me went to see her. To our delight I found that hospital had more parking space than Hinduja Hospital. It bore a fairly neat look. It had automatic lifts like any other Private Hospital and they were working well.
The ward was spacious and there was doctor on duty.
The Hospital supplied free treatment to our maid and she was due for discharge. We spoke to Doctor, she was very nice and explained us the post hospitalization care to be taken.
When I asked her for any expenses which Hospital had done, I was informed that some of the tests were done from an outside lab, but payment has been done from a fund which is raised by Hospital staff to treat needy people.
After discharge Hospital also has a procedure to give medicines to patients which they should take after care.
