99.99 % of Our People who criticize Doctors want

1. All diseases cured in one day

2. by the treatment of their choice (if they want

surgery, we have to operate : If they don't want

surgery, we have to resect meningioma with

tablets)

3. Free of Cost

4. In the Hospital of their choice (Treatment of

Myalgia in neurosurgery OP, Cardiac Bye Pass in

Banavaram PHC)

5. At the time they like (They will want admission

of OA Knee at 11 PM)

-oOo-

99.99 % of Our People who criticize Doctors want

6. All diseases to be diagnosed at once

7. With the modality of their choice. If they want

MRI Brain, we have to take it even when patient is

fully conscious following fall from bicycle. If they

don't want, we shouldn't get CT Brain done even if

there is anisocoria

8. And doctors say what they like. You should

always say that the disease does not need

hospitalization if they are not ready for

hospitalization. You should always not suggest

surgery if they are not ready for surgery.

-oOo-

If any one of these conditions are not met , they

will say that

1. Doctors are Negligent

2. Doctors are money minded

3. Doctors are not duty conscious

4. Doctors do not have accountability

5. Doctors did not tell me anything

6. Doctors did not explain treatment plan

eg :

If they want the diease to be cured in one day, but

it takes 5 days, and even though the doctor has

explained everything, they will still say that doctor

did not explain me treatment plan / doctor did not

tell me anything

eg

When they are told that Open Heart Surgery cannot

be done at Banavaram PHC, they will say that

Doctors are money minded (they do open heart

surgery in their private clinic but not in PHC),

Doctors are not duty conscious, Doctors do not

have accountability

-oOo-

The issues are two fold

1. Lack of resources

2. Over expectation of people

The second is the main issue nowadays . . and

when the people are at fault, they have to be

blamed

-oOo-

99.99 % of Our Public distrust is because of their

wrong, illogical, impractical expectation

The mistake has to be identified and solved

They need to be educated about reality

-oOo-

You please ask 1000 non medical people to list

what they consider as 10 problems in health care

You will have a list of 10000 problems

9999 will come under the eight categories

mentioned above

-oOo-

Health care is not consumerism

The Customer is King approach does not work here

Health care is NOT Patient vs Doctor issue

It is doctor + patient on one side and Disease on

other side

Patients do have a lot of role to play in evolving a

good health care system and if the system is in

disarray they do have lot of blame to shoulder

-oOo-

Bringing health care under consumer courts is the

single most anti people act in the history of health

care.
