A visit to lilavati OPD bandra

All hospitals are now days super crowded . Because of the ratio of hospitals to the number of sick people in Mumbai. There are huge lines for everything. For filling the forms,to pay money to wait for the doctor . And no one is spared even the wheel chaired patients. The OPD has limited seating space so after 12 everyone who comes has to stand. The opd door no 13 is in a narrow corridor ,so you have to stand outside the door or you will miss  your name being called by the doctor inside. Cost of getting a check up by the doctor usually 5 min is 1200 rupees (you have to have a lilavati card or fill in the form and get a card on the first visit) Rupees 800 for the follow up visit IF you visit the same doctor within 30 days .

The gastro enterologist

Doctor A juhu These guys always (well most of the time) want you to get an endoscopy done! consultation charges 1000-1500 ! for a 5 min examination 7000 charges of an endoscopy. life is screwed in mumbai !! Side effects are uncommon but may include: diarrhoea headaches dizziness skin rashes tiredness BUT could these symptoms be due to TYPHOID also? why do gastro not think about this? Doctor B Bandra widal shows 1.40 type A and 1:160 type B gastro says you have no typhoid Does not mention ulcer like doctor A meds orni worm treatment antacid
