Christian Medical College — Records Missing from CMC Psychiatry Department

Address:

IDA Scudder Rd, Vellore, Tamil Nadu 632004

Dear sir/ma’am

I am Dr. Naveen Kumar C, Consultant Orthodontist presently working at Muscat and Bangalore.

I would like to bring to your kind notice that my wife Shubashini (Hospital no 407031A Aged 38yrs) and her sister Priyadarshini (Hospital no 044778B aged 44 years) were under Psychiatric care at your esteemed CMC hospital, Vellore since their Childhood. I want to take my wife to NIMHANS Bangalore for further Psychiatric evaluation and treatment, for which I need her past Psychiatry and other complete medical records. My wife has confirmed me in the past that she, her sister and her brother have been treated at CMC for Psychiatric issues they were suffering from.

I visited Psychiatrist (through my friend working at CMC) at CMC Bagayam Psychiatry department Unit II on 24th August 2021 to check and fix an appointment for my wife. To my surprise, the records pertaining to my wife and her elder sister were all deleted (Confirmed by the Consulting Psychiatrist). The consulting Psychiatrist insisted that I bring my wife for personal and detailed evaluation.

Ever since I have been firm on getting my wife for a Psychiatric evaluation, my father in law has challenged me that I won’t be able to trace any record of my wife or any of the family history from CMC Vellore’s Psychiatry department. My father in law is well connected with the CMC staff as he has been in VELLORE for more than 25 years and is a retired engineer from a senior most post in Tamilnadu government. He has very close associates and friends in CMC Vellore MRD Department, through whom I have even been given on the spot appointments for my dermatology issues in 2015 at CMC Vellore, where I did not even wait in the queue. I was surprised with this fast track appointment, as I had knew it would take at least 4-6 hours in registering and getting an appointment with any doctor at CMC Vellore.

My kind request with the hospital to give me a detailed history of my wife’s Psychiatric and General medical history, as past history and family history is vital in treating the underlying condition which she is suffering from. I have filed a complaint in Cyber Crime Police station at Bangalore, Whitefield (Complaint No: 0529/2021) for the above issue.

My wife and me also have a hearing in Bangalore High Court, Family court on 15th November 2021, as I have sent a notice to her and her parents to come for a psychiatric evaluation, before which I would need complete records of my wife.

I hope my request would be obliged and the needful be done in helping my wife who is in need of Psychiatric care and saving my marriage. Kindly oblige and please do the needful as I do not wish to escalate this issue any further. I have great regards to this esteemed institution which is renowned globally and was also head office for my Indian Orthodontic Society in the past. An institution like yours which is par beyond excellence, should be least tolerant to such unprecedented events happening with the records of the patients going missing, who were treated at CMC VELLORE. It would set such a bad reputation to such a prestigious and reputed institution. I would want the person concerned in this untoward event brought to justice.

If needed I can always make a personal visit with my lawyer to CMC Vellore if it’s deemed necessary, as my lawyer is aware of this issue in detail.
