[Resolved]  Fortis Healthcare — the hospital is a money making machine and has incompetent specialists

I wish i could give this place zero stars! The hospital is a money making machine and has incompetent specialists. My father-in-law was admitted recently with an infection. They did numerous scans (Ct, mri, ecg etc.) and kept changing the story with each scan - uti, kidney disease, liver disease, and finally the possibility of cancer! They sent him to the icu, refused to address a lump in the liver, and charged several lakhs for a completely inconclusive outcome. Finally they recommended a pet scan (Which they don't do themselves because they don't have the machine). Specialists at apollo finally diagnosed the disease as an amoebic infection. This could have easily been treated by draining the lump in the liver right in the beginning. It would have been a 2-day affair instead of a 2-week saga. Please stay away from this terrible place!
