Global Hospitals Group — Wrong diagnosis and medication

Dr. Dinesh Nayak has been treating my father since 2017. My father was incorrectly diagnosed with late onset seizures and administered levipil for 1 and 1/2 years unnecessarily while the underlying cause of fainting and losing consciousness was hyponatremia, a low sodium condition. It was only in end of Oct 2021 when such fainting incidents repeatedly continued despite being on levipil and when he was admitted in ICU of Glen Eagles that the doctor identified the cause to be hyponatremia by which time all the damage had been done. We were told that levipil has caused severe allergic reaction to his skin and when he was discharged the diagnosis was again incorrect as the reports mention that it was cellulitis. However on further treatment at a skin clinic we got to know that he had developed an auto immune disease called bullous pemphigoid, which in turn may have been caused by certain medication. We would like to know why the medical tests were not analyzed properly which led to incorrect diagnosis. When an aged person without any history of seizures was admitted and when the medical tests clearly indicated low sodium and he was treated for the same, the hospital report/prescription called out seizure and never indicated hyponatremia as the possible cause and neither was any advise given for monitoring sodium level periodically.
