I feel sorry for you. But it is little exacerated story. As if the money is taken for stomach ache. They have taken ct scan, I hope they would have done some blood tests, obvisiously nursing fee and consultation fee, Room charges whether it is 3 hrs or more 1 day room charge plus drug charge. Dont take it personally. I have lost my friend just making fun on the doctor for his advise to take ct for a small fall he had. We were under the impression that he is advising that for revenue generation. We lost him because of that type of half knowledge we had. So from that day on i stopped comenting like that. The lesson is we should not be worrying if the result comes as negative. We should be happy that the doubt is cleared and we are out of the problem.(in your case suppose it would have been the appendics and it would have got burst, it would have been life threatning . That time people like us will say we could have spent for ct or ultrasound scan) This is my view i dont know how you people are taking. The insurance people would not pay for investigation alone, unless you are admitted in hospital and the tests should be justified. Since i am in health care insurance side i expressing my views. I am sorry if you feel that i have hurt your views.

I am a resident of Adayar, Chennai, India, aged 40, Entrepreneur, mother of two grown up girls, in my family, my father, daughter, husband, brother and myself have all undergone surgeries performed by Dr.J S Rajkumar, at his newly founded Life Line Hospital. Perungudi.( My father underwent the surgery four years ago at Rigid Hospital, Kilpauk.)
Recently less than a month ago my mother underwent a vertibroplasty and my aunt got her wrist fixed with a supportive plate.
My or rather our experience at the hospital was that of a very pleasant one. Always felt that we were being well taken care of. During my brief stay at the hospital during these occasions, got to see and understand, that Dr.JS Rajkumar, is doing so much for the less unfortunate counterparts.Is so passionate about his work, that I decided to help him in his noble quest to support the mankind in what little ways I could.
Dr. J S Rajkumar, is a finest of fine human being, never capable of any malice, pettiness
or harm to any one. He performs each surgery, each procedure with the same care and precision.I would say, He has infact sacrificed all his personal comforts and desire to relieve the pain of the suffering patients. Such is his commitment.
I am surprised when such a person is projected as someone trying to work for a monetary gains. He runs a hospital needs money to pay his overheads, Bankers, sure they wont be benevolent to waive off the payment due, if he were to say that he didn’t charge his patients, or treated them at a subsidized rate. But despite this, the truth is, he does waive off a lot of expenses incurred by his patients, if he understands that the person is financially backward and cant pay. Never has hospital refused treatment to anyone coming there, quoting monetary reasons for denial. If the hospital staff demands money as a deposit, prior to any treatment, it is a routine procedure at every hospital. Wonder why Life line Hospital is singled out in this aspect? I know not of a hospital that admits patients without taking any money as deposit. Leave the hospital, even the hotels don’t give you admission without deposit.
Dr J S Rajkumar is a very sensitive person, his sensitivity and his human touch has made his so special and dear to his patients. Who consider themselves a part of his family extended family. Indeed mine is one such family!
There are few who look the other way or wont help, even when you seek them.
There are a few to whom you need to only narrate a woe and the help /solution is offered.
Any one associated with Dr J S Rajkumar, with immediately say that he belongs to the second category. I am proud to be associated with him.
The hospital perfoms free surgeries on poor, under previledged children with congenial heart problems, I on my part has try to support the programme in all possible ways.
Also try to be a part of any philantropic acitivities of the Hospital.
I am pained beyond limit when a person whom the hospital out of moral responsibility tries to support turns against! I think it must have been accepted as a way of life by Life Line Hospital, I guess, as it is the case at most of the time!
Dr. Rajkumar, called me six months ago, stating that Mr. DuraiVel, is going through a traumatic time after losing his wife, while recovering from a surgery ath the Hospital. Requesting me to counsel him and to be of support him and his children. That is how I know Mr.Duraivel.
I met him, spoke to him, requested my close find a psychologist to counsel him, I tried to do my might, was in touch with him not only because I was instructed by the hospital, but also because Mr.Duraivel is a fine person. I still cant reconcile that, He can go out of the way to tarnish the image of an institution and a person who genuinely wished him well and tried to support him. I still feel he is venting his anger and is doing all this in an emotional outburst!
In fact, Mr.Duraivel has found a residence close to where we live(four blocks away from my friends place), because he wanted reside some where close to where we live.(That is what he told us, as his parents live at the other end of the city).
Durai, if not for Life Line Hospital, we wont even know that we existed ? would we?
Why did I get in touch with you? When people don’t have time for their own family and friends, because that is the regard I have for Dr. J S Rajkumar, which was built after seeing his selfless service and care he shares for the humanity as a whole!
I want to share this with all. This is my personal observation.
1.Dr J S Rajkumar, can turn into a Super Specialist, and lead a hassle free life, with far superior name and fame, had he chosen to do so.Instead he chose to serve the society, though the hospital is a commercial Organisation, the trust he has formed in the name of his Grandfather, Rajarathinam Medical and educational Foundation, supports the poor patients admitted into the hospital in a large way.
2. I am not trying to say that the hospital never commits a mistake, but they are few and not garve. The Management constantly endeovers to correct themselves.
3. Dr. J S Rajkumar, is a man who wants to constantly update his hospital with the latest technical advancement, so that he can provide superior health care and perform precision surgeries.
4. The list of what Dr. J S Rajkumar has done: free cancer treatment, treating HIV patients, free medical camps/surgeries, free cardiac surgeries, SNATCHING MANY PATIENTS FROM THE CLAWS OF DEATH ……. The list is very long.
5. I have personally seen so many of his patients infact, some, on whom others have given up hope, being successfully treated and cured .They, Thank Dr.J S Rajkumar, earnestly for having gifted them life.
6. But when I analyse it a little closely, I understand most trains make it safely each day to their destination, this never gets reported as News. But occasionally when a train derails it hits the Headlines. But then, Just because a train has derailed occasionally, for whatever reason, people have not stopped commuting by it, or even thought twice before Boarding a train.
7.Dear Durai, didn’t you at one point of time say that you understood and also the Hospital has clarified that this is not their mistake, and was just your own ill fate? Now why then are you saying something different? Why so much bitterness?
8. Durai. Negativity never gives happiness on a long run, tarnishing someone’s image may not be the right way to vent your feelings. Use this energy outpour to do some productive work, for that matter, join me in supporting Dr. J S RajKumar in his noble Quest to help the humanity. I take this liberty of telling you this, as I am really your well wisher and Believe me, Once you associate yourself with him, you will have a different story to narrate my friend.
9. My write up may not be as sensational as what Mr. DuariVel had to tell you. For my principles has taught me that, nothing is a better sin than keeping quite and refraining from speaking what is right at times when it matters most. Concerned and worried about the consequences of speaking out.

Hi Supriya are u Dr.J S Rajkumar agent !!
"The list of what Dr. J S Rajkumar has done: free cancer treatment, treating HIV patients, free medical camps/surgeries, free cardiac surgeries, SNATCHING MANY PATIENTS FROM THE CLAWS OF DEATH ……. The list is very long."
Is he a fool to do all these as 'free' SERVICE?
SRIPRIYA, Please understand one thing: NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD. The person will have some intention behind his deeds. Name, Fame, Money or some other target.
Duty is important for any person. Nobody should do mistakes in that. Nobody can justify a person's mistakes by the number of corrects he has done.

Dear Friends
REAL LIFE (rather good) EXPERIENCE-LIFELINE HOSPITAL CHENNAI.
I am shocked to see such a blog against lifeline and Dr.Rajkumar.
This is a story about my cousin Master Saran Prasad.
A year back he had spells of giddiness and severe headache. Local Doctors were treating him symptomatically. One day all of sudden while he was playing he fainted and rushed to one of the big hospital in Salem. They did all investigation and diagnosed as cancer from the adrenal gland which is situated above kidneys. The whole family was depressed and we took him to one of the pioneer cancer institute in Chennai. They again did all investigations and finally suggested surgery and said survival is poor and its high risk procedure.
Team of doctors opened his abdomen and they were shocked to see that the cancer tumour has extended and further continuing surgery may result in death on the table.So the procedure was abandoned.
Doctors informed us that he will survive only for few weeks. The whole family was sad and my cousin also knows that he will die shortly. We came to know the surgical skill of Dr.Rajkumar and consulted him.
After detailed examination and going through all the reports he said there is a remote chance to save my cousin. He and his team did for 6 hrs surgery and removed tumour completely.
It was a second birth for my cousin. Now, he is living happily which he wouldn’t have got but for Dr.Rajkumar and Lifeline. So it is really agonizing to see such blind accusations against a doctor who saved life of a young boy and many others. Many good events by Doctors are not recognized but one unfortunate event which is quiet acceptable in medical practice has been blown out of proportion.
This may set a dangerous precedence where even a minor complication may be blown out of proportion which I am sure it will have a negative Doctor patient relationship.

I want to request only onething, Before going to Hospital please try to enquire about the hospital and doctors, Dont blindly believe the hospital building.
Please note the points given by Durai.
My sincere advice to all is
a) Do not get carried away by advertisement / TV shows / big buildings
b) Please do not rush
c) Do your own due diligence, particularly when things are not an emergency
d) Try and understand the medical terms, do research prior
e) Please ask questions, at every stage.
f) Don't say "I can spend anything"
g) Know patient rights
This is not to hurt others, But to know the importance of the patient condition.
Life goes never revert back.
Thanks

I feel sorry for the guy . Although i have heard similar incidents, I have a lot of faith in DR JS Rajkumar from a personal experience. Infact we had good experience twice involving major cancer operations.My mother Saraswathi was operated upon by Dr JS Rajkumar at Rigid hospital 9 years ago for a cancer in the food pipe involving the lower part near the stomach. We consulted many surgeons before going to DR Rajkumar . Those doctors dilly dallyed a lot and were referring to many other places for investigations, tests, CT scan etc. nobody could give us a guarantee about the success of the operation.We were happy to find everything under one roof at Rigid hospital as my mother could not travel much and they got her ready for the operation very quickly. our duration of further waiting and anxiety was shortened.We explained our situation to the billing department that we may not be able to pay mucn as we had already spent a lot. They said dr had already told them to reduce the package as my mother was suffering for quite some time. The operation went on smoothly. Dr removed the lower part of food pipe and upper part of stomach and re joined it. After the operation my mother could not eat for some time. we were all worried about the tube in her nose. slowly the swelling in her stomach came down and she was given water. she stayed in hospital for two weeks. at one stage dr said we may consider operating again if the swelling did not reduce. but it reduced with monitoring after a few days. By god's grace she was fine eating normally and put on weight. we were all happy. Dr further reduced our bill when we went home at our request. we regularly went to him for follow up for some time and then stopped. this year after 9 years we found that my mother had cancer in the mouth and it had spread to her neck ( lymph node). many of our well wishers and family friends said we had to go to cancer specialist. so we visited 2 specialists. both were good surgeons who said the old cancer had not recurred and this was a new cancer.but they were afraid to operate on her as due to her advancing age ( she is above 60 now). my mother lost faith and refused to see any doctors and the surgery. a doctor who is a surgeon himself near my house in mogappair suggested we go back to dr rajkumar to take an opinion as dr rajkumar was being invited internationally to demonstrate surgeries.. we met him at his new hospital at perungudi . dr rajkumar remembered my mother's name and was upset to know she had another cancer. the operation would be complex he explained and required long operation to remove the cancer both from the mouth and the neck.only sir could convince my mother easily for the operation. the operation took 4 hours. the cancer was removed from both places and a temporary plate was placed in the mouth to cover the hole after taking the cancer out. after some time it was removed once the hole closed. she is on follow up with the medical cance specialist and doing well.(touch wood). we know that dr goes to both rigid and lifeline nowadays. he is a busy man because so many patients come to him from all over India and abroad for help. it was difficult to meet him many times . so when we used to phone him he used to come and visit at night 1130, twelve etc to see my mother after finishing his evening consultation. once we explained that we may not afford the operation and asked him to do the operation in 2 stages - one for the mouth and another for the neck. he said he cannot compromise care. so he did both stages in one setting ( 4 hours ) for same charge. for a few days he went abroad after my mother's operaion during which time his assistant doctors took good care of my mother and got opinions from sir over phone.
I have also heard of bad stories about sir. I do not know how it happened.but still went to him. I really feel sorry for their relatives. trusting a doctor comes only with experience. we have good experiences twice involving high risk complicated operations with good result.
let god be with mr durai in his moments of despair.

Now that I have been a witness to many positive incidents, let me take the pleasure of sharing a few.
My maternal uncles live in Salem. I often visit them. Recently I had been to Salem to attend the wedding of my cousin.
During the my stay there, I happened to see a lady living in the neighbourhood literally roll in stomach pain. Got a little curious and enquired about her health. I was told that she is suffering from a condition called Ulcerative Colitis(fairly grave condition can turn malignant) and has been undergoing treatment for a period of 10-12 years without much relief. Since I was frequenting Lifeline Hospital, spoke to Dr.J S Rajkumar, he consented to meet her. In the initial diagnosis itself Dr. J S Rajkumar suspected that she has been unnecessarily being treated for Ulcerative colitis . The drugs administered have severe and damaging side effets.So she was asked to undergo a conclusive test called Capsule endoscopy(which is a very sophisticated test that not many hospitals can boast of) to rule out the possibility o[censored]lcerative colitis.This is a 11 hr exhaustive study of the digestive tract. She was diagonised to be suffering from a relatively simple Irritable bowl. I still cant forget the happy and the gratitude filled eyes which thanked the Doctor. She was so happy that she did not suffer any major ailment and can lead a normal life like others.I personally felt so pleased in bringing relief to a person. Now on one hand the people a so angry and sensitive . Nostalgic indeed!
I am waiting for the patients consent to reveail their name.( who underwent stemcell therapy)
The person in the above stoty is Ms. Jyothi, a resident of Salem, Mobile No.[protected].
Spoke to her, she is willing to clarify, doubts, if any.

Please ignore my comment if you feel it is not authentic without the name of the patient.
I don’t have the permission to disclose.
Another memory that still lingers in my mind is that of parents whose daughter underwent a Bariatric Surgery ( Fat surgery) performed by Dr. J S Rajkumar.
A girl from pune, fair, pretty and tall looked massive and gigantic with a whooping 135kg body weight. Though an affluent family could not find her a match.
The dejected parents came to Life Line Hospital after being refered by a local surgeon.Underwent the gastric by pass surgery. In less than a year lost 57kg weight.
The parents flew all the way to hand Dr Rajkumar to hand him an invitation of their Daughter’s wedding, saying without him their daughter didn’t stand a chance to become a bride.
One little remark by the father that still lingers fresh.
He said I had a very pretty daughter, was always feeling very bad that I couldn’t see her dress in many different outfits like the others of her age. With tears in his eyes said, “Doctor, today even that little desire of mine is fulfilled. Thankyou!”
Very touching indeed!
If any of you wonder as to how I have information to what is happening inside the Doctor’s consultation room. Since I am trying to help the hospital, try to be benevolent and courteous to the patients coming from other stations by fixing an appointment and coordinating with the hospital on their behalf. Some insist that I accompany them to the consultation room too!

The more information you accumulate, the more you are burdening your self and also run the risk of losing your freedom . If Hypothetically, I decide to get a microbial test the of the water I drink and the bed I sleep. The list of impurities and microbes understood with the help of the useful NET, I am sure that my finding is going to steal, my freedom of my enjoying a glass of chilled water or having a Good Nights sleep.( I can say that even witout a test).
However smart you are ! However calculative you are! Even if you make Plan A, followed by contingency Plan B and Plan C, Hasn’t life taught us by experience, that unexpected always happens?
Ignorance is Bliss! That is how our previous generation were without too many unwanted information.

Total understanding gives Clarity.

One should speak only if you have complete knowledge, Amused, some many people write so many comments on just Hear Say!
Aristotle also said: Any one can become Angry, and that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, at the right time for the right purpose in the right way- that is not easy.

first of all my sincere sympathies to mr.durai.i feel only the loser from the family knows and feels the loss, because his wife has left behind young children.now the father has to act as mother and father.as a practising surgeon over 4 decades, i would like to offer some suggessions to the ailing patients.please do not be carried away from advertisements of hospitals and doctors.the more experienced the doctor, more he knows not only from medical point of view also from patient's concern."a good surgeon is one who knows when not to operate than to operate on any patient", that too in a hurry when not indicated.choose your surgeon and get second opinion, if you have doubt.negligence can be sued and reported to medical authorities.
leaving sripriya who acts like an agent to Dr Rajkumar and the victim of this doctors surgical mistakes, let me clearly tell that this is not the first such problem dr rajkumar is facing are committed. he may be a good talk host in the TVs but his attitued towards commercialization of medical practice has been very aggressive and beyond ethical values as I have got personal experience of people who have suffered. I dont blame him alone but also the commercializaion which has taken a toll of the medical education. MBBS seats are sold for 10-30 lakhs and then MD, MS seats for 50-90 lakhs and then McH and DM seats for 40-60lakhs. After paying close to 3 crores (close to 0.75miilion USD) and 12 years of one life how can you expect someone to simply keep himself at home and practiciing medicine for 50 rs or 100 rs. My two children; one is a doctor luckily got free medical seats at MBBS and MD and after 10 years of training he is making 40 thousand rupees per month whereas my younger son is a manager in a BPO firm with BE in electronics makes same or at times even more than my doctor son. Do you think if I have a third son/daughter send him/her to medical school? Sociey has to think about this as well.
Hi Mr durai, I am SARAN from salem, I think u have seen the the message of my uncle above this, its real, i am very much worried about my life, but the Dr J S RAJKUMAR saves my life, he is a well talented person, u cant blame him, I say my life history, my native place is salem, once i went to unconsciousness and the drs from salem dont know what happens to me, after a few weeks later my recovery happens, but i got blood pressure, so they told to take a ct scan of abdomen and it seems like a cancer and they told us to go to adyar cancer institute, The Drs from cancer institute dont know what is the tumor, finally they planned to done surgery and they call a vascular surgeon from vijaya hospital vadapalani and he also came for surgery, they operated and finally they closes as it is a high risk of life for me, my family members were very muck felt sad about my life, Finally we met Dr J S RAJKUMAR who is a god for me and he says i will done the surgery with high risk and saves his life, he opens my abdomen and he done the surgery for more than 6 hours and he removes the tumour completely, now i am allright, nothing problem to me, so every day morning i am praying to the living god that is dr j s rajkumar, so please dont take a bad complication of any body, god gives a life time as when we born itself, so please dont say a wrong message like this, bye from saran, salem .
Durai,
I'm really sorry for your loss. Keep up up the fight, and don't let this fraud Dr. Rajkumar get the better of you. I know it'll be really tough to nail these greedy crooks down but at least yo should do the best you can do. Write to newspapers, write to media agencies. I know many people in NDTV - contact me and I'll get you in touch with them.
Both posters Sripriya and Saran seem like fraud posters - I won't be surprised if it's Dr. Rajkumar himself.
The things people do for the sake of money.

Hi All,
I feel sorry for Durai and I personally had an experience with JSR.
My cousin went for a laproscopic surgery for a problem in the pancreas(chronic pancreatitis) and JSR saved him.
I think JSR is a good man.He genuinely takes care of the patients with a human touch, which we experienced.
However, my cousin died after a year as jaundice spread all over and resulted in multi organ failure!
Though they did their best ..I still wanted to know if the earlier surgery was done perfectly or not...
did they diagnose it propoerly and did the right operation!!?? Only God knows!!
However, I still think that Dr.JSR is a good man.May be he can correct the mistakes pointed out by Durai, so that such incidents could be avoided in the future.

It was during 2nd week of Aug 08. My friend had a mild stomach pain for a long time and we went to meet the doctor. The doctor referred us to Lifline hospitals since there was a doubtful symptoms for an appendicitis. We reached the hospital and immediately my friend was taken to the emergency ward. After consultation by Dr.J S Rajkumar, they asked us to get admitted and take up a CT scan. By this time the stomach pain had reduced and it was nearly normal. So when we hesitated to get admitted, they said it is 90% confirmed appendicitis, and only the CT scan can confirm it. We had to beleive the doctors and so my friend was admitted. The CT scan was completed and they started giving IV drip fluids and antibiotics. We were waiting for a long time for the scan results to come and after running several times, we got the results and it showed that my friend didnt have any problem and was normal. But even then, they did not stop the drips until morning and we were sitting unnecessarily for the whole night and until next afternoon for the doctor to come and discharge. After some quarrel and arguments, the doctor came around 1 pm for morning consultation of the patients. He said we can be discharged. When we asked the hospital people for getting discharged, they said the isurance is not cleared yet and we need to wait for one more day. Finally after arguing they asked us to pay the bill and so we can leave immediately. We asked for the bills and it was given for Rs. 13, 000/- plus medical expenses. We argued and asked whether they charge 13, 000 Rs for a simple stomach pain. But in vain and we had to make all the settlements after so many quarrels and arguments. Its so pathetic. Is there anyone who came help the middle class people from these type of pathetic hospitalizations??
