Due to some sickness I consulted the doctor. So, I booked the appointment at Dr. B's clinic on Friday evening in Kandivali Branch. I reached there before 10 minutes with a thought in my mind that they will not make me to wait too long. But after watching TV for half an hour, they told me to meet the doctor. As soon as I entered into the room, the first question doctor asked me "how can I help you?”. I started explaining about my illness to them. They asked some more questions related to that. As I have to secure good marks in oral exam, giving very pleased and correct answer to all questions.
Bypass the difficult question asked in oral exam, but here no choice: "do you want to start the treatment than I will explain you about our payment plan?” surprised me a lot...! With mysterious face, thinking "I am here for a treatment not for investment plan" Without any amenable response from my side, she said that my cashier will explain to you about payment scheme. Till that moment, I know that only bank has a post called cashier. Suddenly, she stood up and called his cashier to explain the scheme.
After discussion, I managed to deny their plan and come out without enrolling into their scheme. On the way back, sarcastically I said "what a great doctor is she? Why doctor is doing like that? They have a greater responsibility of the society." I agree that it’s an arduous task to get this position but they can't deceive people like this. Also, for this kind of treatment, they charged us very fatty amount. People with lower income couldn't afford this. They somehow manage to afford, but kind of treatment will definitely upset them. I was really incensed and firmly decided that at least not to take consulting from this doctor. Also, I realized that Healthcare sector is deteriorating in India. After retiring home, I talked to my roommate about this bad experience. He said that try other clinic of same doctor in Borivali. I agreed with him and booked the appointment.
I thought that here I might get proper diagnosis of my problem. Immediately they took me in for consultation. Almost 45 mins the doctor did checked up, explained the problem and also how they will cure it. While concluding, the doctor explained about the treatment charges. I agreed with that so they sent to another doctor for second round of consultation. As soon as I entered into another doctor's cabin, literally flabbergasted. How can it be possible..? The same old doctor, to whom I met earlier in Kandivali clinic, was sitting inside the room. "Ohh God !! You can't play a game like this" I murmured. With artificial smile on my face, I entered into the room and took a sit. This time the consultation of doctor was very convincing and contented me upto a good extent. I envisage that the doctor was giving its best treatment due to remembrance of last incident. After coming out of the cabin, I had a big laugh and muttered that "GOD tussi great ho".
On the way back to home, I was worried about the healthcare sector and their charges. I detested the whole system and government. But when I was remembering that incident it amused me like anything.
