How many of you can pay Rs 2, 50, 000/- plus to a hospital for saving life of a dear-one?

Big hospitals are like five star hotels鈥?less hospitality and humanitarian values. They display sign-boards saying something like the following:

鈥淭his Hospital Provides Free Treatment to Poor / Needy Patients鈥濃€?br>
However I don鈥檛 think that they might be doing so鈥?br>
If you go for angiography they will take all the charges in advance and on receiving the computer-generated receipt鈥?they will start the angiography鈥?by inserting a catheter for this purpose鈥?during angiography鈥?the person accompanying the patient would not be shown the views on the monitor live鈥?for convincing him as to which artery has what percentage of blockage鈥?

Instead, the surgeon will come out of the operation theatre (OT) 鈥?leaving behind the catheter right inside the body of the patient鈥?and explain the blockage with the help of a ball-pen on a printed sketch of the arteries on a paper鈥?the surgeon will ask at this moment to take immediate decision whether he should go-ahead with angioplasty鈥?or remove the catheter from the body of the patient鈥?

The accompanying assistants, naturally, agree for angioplasty鈥?and then they are asked to pay the charges鈥?and show the computer-generated receipt鈥?as the surgeon will not go ahead with angioplasty without seeing such receipt鈥?the catheter is kept inserts inside the body of the patient until the payment is done on the cash counter and the assistant brings the receipt to the surgeon鈥?

Price for angioplasty in private hospitals in Delhi is Rs 2,50,000/- whereas you will get the same treatment in Nagpur for Rs 1,50,000/- or less... Even in Delhi the charges might be less in Govt aided hospitals like AIIMS and likes...

It is needed that a standard fee should be fixed for various treatments / surgeries鈥?in all hospitals鈥?whether they are private or government aided鈥?lest their licence should be cancelled鈥?

Private hospitals owned by corporate houses should be asked not to run their units as commercial shops鈥?merely for earning fortunes鈥?they should be reminded the 鈥榦ath鈥?the doctors use to take at the time of their convocation鈥?br> 3 days ago - 4 days left to answer.

This question is based on a question asked by 'vishwa'... following is the link...
