one of the most arrogant and short- tempered doctors i have consulted in my life of 67 years.I consulted him regarding my wife's inability to walk for the last four months. He wanted only my wife to describe her problem and cut me short when i told him that i would like to briefly narrate the treatment she had undergone for the last six months for persistent fever etc saying that even God listens only to the patient. He refused to look at the x-rays and nerve conduction study done on her at some other hospital and concluded that her problem was in the neck and wanted cervical MRI done. Though i was sceptical about his diagnosis i got the MRI done at care Banjara at a cost of Rs8500 as he appeared extremely confident of his diagnosis and he is supposed to be an experienced doctor. The cervical MRI turned out to be normal which he could have gathered from the cervical spine x-ray we had with us. When the MRI was shown to him he said that she does not require surgery but he can diagnose her problem only by extracting spine fluid and performing tests for which she needs to be admitted in the hospital for about six days.I later learnt from other sources that extraction of spine fluid is a simple procedure done under local anaesthesia and takes only about 30 minutes. His whole approach appeared to be commercial and i was left poorer by Rs8500/
