[Resolved]  Apollo Hospital, Delhi — Negligence and lack of seriousness

My dad was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer in Feb '09 . Prior to that he had visited Apollo hospitals in Dec'08 for a full body checkup as he was in great pain in his whole body and had lost a lot of weight and used to sweat a lot in the nights .

The doctors in Apollo told the lungs were clear (although he had cancer there) . they could not even detect that in the X Ray . They attributed all this to this high BP and Prostate problem that he had . Despite visiting the hospital many times those doctors didnt feel the need to advise some advanced tests like CT or MRI .

We lost 2 crucial months due to that else his treatment could have started in Dec itself .

Small Cell Cancer is a very fast spreading cancer and by the time it was detected it had spread to Bones, Bone marrow and a little bit on the liver .

Although by the grace of God and Doctors at AIIMS and our Homeopathic doctor he has been able to come out of it . But if we would have depended on the doctors at Appolo any longet it would have been disasterous for us.

These folks just want to mint money . They see patients as an ATM . They do not have the soul and honesty which a doctor should have.

this hospitals negligence would have costed many ppl their lives . It should be barred
