Deceiving discharges from ‘reputable hospitals’

Being the Pakistani nation one thing that each one of us has in common is to compromise, accept and adjust be it the rent of the house, hiking prices of commodities, expensive fuel, expensive education and the list is endless. However, for many of us something
on which compromise almost always is impossible is when it comes to the medical treatment. This of course does not apply to those who are barely hand to mouth, for them it has to be a yet another compromise.
A certain percentage of the middle class almost always keeps a specific percentage from the amount that they earn for health purposes. They stay prepared and brace themselves for giving the mind blogging fees of the private practitioners, admission in the
hospital, tests, medicines and every other bit of it that leaves the person literally stranded and sometimes even on verge of being broken.
But do we sacrifice to this extent to be treated insincerely and being deceived by the doctors who are presumably serving humanity? After putting your lifetime savings at stake you get to know that you have been given the wrong injection or that the sprint
that was needed for the right leg has miraculously ended in the left one.
Hell worse can you imagine getting your off spring exchanged with someone else’s? Ending up being the grandparents of someone who was not even your own blood?
A very recent incidence that one of my very close one experienced was that he had water in his lungs due to which he got admitted in quite a reputable and expensive hospital. He constantly kept complaining about his left leg bothering him for which he was
time and again only given some pain killers and was discharged within a week with the same leg still hurting. However, they did get done with their job of removing the water from his lungs.
The situation of that leg kept getting worse to an extent that the patient now was completely bed ridden. It was after a few x-rays done by an orthopedic that the actual situation unfolded. The leg was fractured thus making that person’s life miserable,
not that he fell anywhere, his bones had grown so weak due to the various ailments he carried that it just broke on its own.
A person being discharged from a hospital with a fracture is truly food for thought.
