Guys, This is real and the person who suffered is one of my colleague’s friend only. So please forward this to others also. Regards, Anil [protected][protected][protected][protected] From: Dhurga Veluswamy Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 5:51 PM Subject: FW: Be aware of LIFE LINE HOSPITAL - Thoraipakkam One of my friend, want to do Master check up to her mother. Though she was quite healthy (No BP, No sugar or No general weakness), my friend wanted to do as she was in 50s. So he toke her to the hospital in the morning 8.30 AM on Feb 20, 2010. She was admitted in the hospital for Master Check Up. After some few hours, he was informed that she has the possibilities to get heart-attack or heart block. In the afternoon(2.00p.m) he was informed that the blood is getting arrested and have do a operation immediately and asked sign papers. My Friend was afraid & he accepted for that. He or his father were not allowed to go near her also. They said she is unconscious and anything can be said after 4 hrs. In the evening, around 4.30 p.m they said that she is no more. It was really a shock for my friends & family. It didn't stop there, the people in the hospital were not ready to give the body till they settle the hospital bill which was around 2.4 lakhs. Then they gave her body to them @ around 7.00 p.m...The highlight was that they her body as a cotton bundle. As all her parts were removed...As My friend & family were in deep shock and pain they didn't question them. He took her to that hospital for master check just because he will get back the money as medical insurance/reimbursement and this was one of the hospital which was listed in the insurance company and moreover near to their home. All this happened in 'Life Line' Hospital, Thoripakkam Chennai. I have heard that heavily charge, even if you go that hospital for minor sickness like fever, headache, stomach etc...But this is heights of height!!! I guess this is not the only hospital which is like this. May be many of you might come across these type of incidents... I thought of sending you this incident to create awareness. In the interest of Public, please fwd this to your friends If you have come across of such incidents in any other hospital, please add the Hospital name & place in the below below list: 1.

Dear R. Muhmmad,
Almost all hospitals and Doctors in Tamilnadu are thugs.There are a very few exceptions.It is a big mafia .Pharma companies- Drs-Hopitals- para medical services- testing centres are rubbing each other with such a solidarity and comradeship and their only prey is patients and their wealth. They do anything to loot the patient.The surprising thing is all the upper caste hindus especially tamils and telugus are ruling this looting in Chennai. In other parts of Tamil Nadu all other communities are doing the same. Chettiar/Mudaliar/paappaan/reddy are the leading drs and hospital owners in chennai. Most of them are unethical and dishonest. Government of the day, officers and law enforcers are in their pockets.There is no law to control their atrocities.MCI is toothless and controlled by these same mafioso. It never punished one Dr for medical negligence. SC is in favour of Drs. Not there to rescue the patient or their family.In this unfavorable condition you don't need to make a negative list.If you know the best and honest dr or hospital please make that as the list. That is the easiest way to save space...
I KNOW ONE unfortunately it is not in TAMILNADU.
In kerala . Mata Amritanandamayi Hospital Edapally-Cochin.
And to my surprise almost all the kerala hospitals and drs are trying to follow at least some high standards and ethics.Some time they may be a bit costly.Never near to TN rates.BUT they sincerely try to save the patient. And your payment is matched with proper and compassionate services.
I tried to bring AIMS to Trichy as a friend of mine was ready to give big tract of land at a reasonable rate.The purpose was simple. To change the rules of the game. As Tamil Nadu drs are completely insulated and lost touch with basic medical ethics.To make them realize their duty I tried this. But AIMS people refused to come to TN. Unofficially I was told that the entire medical system in TN is so polluted and corrupt that they can never start in a peaceful environment.And the politicians with their narrow mindedness will incite trouble from the start...And there was another spiritual reason too was given to me.
So what is the solution?
BETTER DIE AT HOME observing the pain as the way to purify yourself instead of giving these your hard earned money, if you cannot find the good dr or hopital.
My positive list...
In chennai
1.I'm told VHS is good for HIV patients.
2.And at Anna Nagar TVS sundaram Foundation is somewhat good...They charge on the higher side. But they are better than the rest, I'm told.
3. At Tambaram The hindu mission hospital…But I’m not sure as I have my own doubts about the paarpaana Drs and I believe many have private practice and to wash their sins they do this charity in the name of religion or god or godman …
4. At Sankara Nethralaya….. free treatment for poor…. If you cannot prove that you are poor you need to shell out a fortune…
Apollo and other import costly machines at subsided rates[ upto 75% in some cases I was told] with a promise/ condition to treat 30% of their patients for free…
Simply make fake documents for that to enjoy the subsidy, I was told by people in the know.
For simple ailments there are some charitable institutions. You need patience to get treated as they are crowded as they are almost free.
1.Sri Venkatesha oushadalaya. The CMO of it is one of the best, I have ever seen.It is ayurvedic and effective for tengue/ typhoid- all types and many of the present day diseases.
No 300/159 Mint Street.
2.One at Mambalam.I don't remember the name. Allopathic.This too works on the same principle of Hindu Mission Hospital, I guess.
3. Govt Siddha institute at Arumbakkam and sanatorium are doing some good services I was told.
4. If you are lucky to find/know a good dr or staff you can try with GOVT hospitals. But the hygiene you can never expect.
4. There might be some more which might not have reached my attention.
With love and Good wishes for disease free life

While I was writing this a Dr [ a fresher] just narrated one happening. One MNC tried to cultivate a leading Dr. in Tirunelveli and asked his needs...well the commission and the gifts.He rubbished them ...what commission they can give or gift they can offer.Implied Meaning... All are there with me...So offer me what I don't have...Then that MNC offered him the one he was not having...a leading actress in a serene land...Here the interesting point is the Dr is a genuinely talented one with big practice and the company is also making high quality medicines.But both need to rub each other to survive.If any agency truly make the surveillance upon Drs' visits to the far east asian countries...and their sponsors...loads of dirty stories may unfold...

DONT ADMIT HERE - I would have given negative stars if it exist. I took my beloved mother to this hospital due to heart attack for the 1st time, they given a worst treatment. They kept for 2 days in ICU and she is no more in 3rd day. Main motto of this hospital is money, money, only money. There is no neurology department available in this hospital, after a mild attack to check brain condition they brought neurologist from outside after very prolonged waiting hours. We were very fed-up with their worst services. I admitted my mother and waited for almost a 5 to 6 hours for neurologist, he came very lethargic. He said we can wait and check her condition after 2 days, even without taken any scan or EEG nothing. They wont give any treatment until you push them to treat the patient. If there is any emergency, better take the patient to MMM hospital immediately or else they will send your beloved one to the burial/cremation ground located in-front of the hospital. We wanted to move my mother to the near by hospital in emergency situation due to worst treatment they provided, we notified in the morning they took almost 6 hours to clear the settlement. I lost my beloved mother, because of their worst service.
My sincere request to the forum is, Never ever go there. The worst ever experience for the patients and their attenders. The facilities are worst. They call themselves internationally fit, but they have very old facility types. Money swindling people with no ethics that's necessary for doctors.
I had admitted my dad for an open heart surgery as it was promised that will be done by the famous dr himself. But it was not done by him but by another Dr.Madhushankar (this same guy who was asked to leave due to some issues earlier and no one knows how Mr. Cherian could ask him to come back). There were so many procedures done on my dad without our knowledge as the daily bills only show us as some procedures were done like balloon blast etc.
My question here is, after an open heart surgery why will the doctors make him undergo a balloon procedure equal to placing a stent. I understand that, the skill of a surgeon lies in the way a patient is recuperating in post operative care.
In fact during the patient visits, Dr. Madhushankar who did the operation never visited my dad and no proper treatment was provided and the operation created sepsis in him. Most unclean place as mosquitoes can be seen breeding in the ceiling of the private ward toilet.
They have very lean staffing for nurses (night shifts- Single lady nurse to care for a general ward and few other wards) and no contingency plans (during monsoon no proper clothing was provided to the patients as they were running short of the ICU patient gowns). They could hardly make any difference as they were busy making money by letting out their operating theatre for movie shooting during the weekends. I had asked the Dr. Cherian a couple of times about my dad's recovery for which he snapped as though they are trying their best to get him out of the situation, but why should this man snap at me for his doctors mistakes as if we are taking the treatment free of cost. His son is much better to interact.
Tamil movie Miruthan, was shot there and one of the lift was used only by the shooting team. The generator that was used for shooting was emitting the (poisonous for the open heart surgery patient who is undergoing treatment even after 18 days) smoke which got into my dad's room as the window was not properly closing due to some beading issue with the window sill. This smoke created suffocation for my dad the same evening and he was again taken into ICU for treatment and he never made it, where in he was in and out of ICU for more than 36 days and breathed his last.
The last moment too they only said that we have to be by his side and allowed to be with him, but no other so called god of heart surgeries was never there to even tell us the truth as to why so many procedures were done on him and what exactly happened to him. We spent more than 15 lakhs for the treatment and lost my dad too. In fact patient attenders who make noise of such issues were paid at lest partial amount to shut their mouth, when they took the body of their beloved but we couldn't even think of such a situation.
I was really taken back when Mr. Cherian himself saw my dad in pain even after 10 days of the operation and called Dr. Madhushankar to check what had he done on the patient. . The phones in the patient ward doesn't work most of the time and their way of treating the staffs is also very bad.

Really unprofessional, on fever they ask to get admitted to hospital and make you undergo tests.
After undergoing test, duty doctor Samuel says dengue is there when cross questioned he leaves abruptly and another doctor says it's just viral fever.
You yourself can decide the state of affairs!

No. 47/3. New Avadi Road, Kilpauk, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India - 600010
The doctor just visited me only for 5 mins.After I got discharged it took nearly 1 week to get my Discharge summary..that too after calling them several times.They sent the fetal tissue to some scan center and said it will take 3 months to get the report.After 3 months, I called the hospital more than 20 times.There were no proper response.Suddenly they said that we took the tissue at the time of discharge and they were not responsible.Then I gave them the receipt number.
After 2 days, I got the report(Duplicate copy) from them
