Dr Shiva refused to meet even after we had a confirmed appointment. Reason was we went through ISRO CHSS. After requesting at the counter for meeting Dr Shiva (as we met him for the same problem last year) sister took our file, discussed with him and told that he will see us. But when we went inside, the experience was really not what we expected. ** ****** **** ******* *** **** ** ****** ***** ***** He was asking again and again why we didn't meet him regularly last year and now after a year he can't do anything it seems. ( He only told last year that it takes longer time for some people, so we should wait). Then he advised some supplements that we can take now and stop after 2 months and no need of any follow up as problem can't be solved it seems as we didn't go for a regular check up. As we didn't believe that a doctor can refuse to meet a patient as he or she is from a particular organization, for confirming, we asked Dr Shiva whether he really told sister not to allow us to meet him, he told yes, he had asked them to do so. He told management has fixed one of the doctors in Neuro Dept to see ISRO CHSS patient to manage crowd it seems.. patients are crowd in hospital? A new thing we learnt yesterday.. Since we went to him for consultation last year for Bells palsy and we took 2 months treatment from him last year and he only told it will take time for some people for recovery, so we waited and went to him now. One thing to mention.. last year we went directly and this year we went through ISRO CHSS. *** *** **** **** ****** *** * ****** ** ***** ******** ****** ***** ************* Anyway, we learned a new lesson in life. Thanks a lot for this new experience..

Visited the neurologist for my elderly parents based on some recommendations as swelling, itching, redness, pain in the leg was not recovering from other medicines.. Although doctor listened to problem and said not a neuro problem but could be a skin related problem, changed few medicines, and referred to a skin doctor. But charged his fees! I mean for what? Nevertheless I went to see a skin doctor, he examined, listened to the whole story again, wrote some cream for redness and itching in the leg but for the original problem he was having no clue and again he referred to a general physician. But he charged his fees again for nothing! Finally after going round and round for 2 hours with my elderly parents I get to see an internal medicine doctor. Finally he wrote some tests and ask us to meet again. Then comes to go for lab test. And to my imagination one of the test which costed approx 3500 rs, they said they conduct only once a week! What on Earth this kind of excuse it is! So that means I have wait for one whole week to get the report and pay the fee again to see the doctor! The whole experience walking in Sakra world hospital was not good at all for my parents. Probably hospital itself has to improve on it's patient satisfaction and make them comfortable.
