Kokilaben Hospital — Dr Vatsal Kothari critical care specialist | |||||
Dr Vatsal Kothari ...supposed to be the Critical Care specialist of Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital...is there to scare the life out of a patient... A senior citizen admitted for dengue under the care of Dr Vatsal is getting treated by him with regular morning visits to check up on her progress/deterioration daily. While administering her medication during visits casually mentions the number of patients (6/7) that died of dengue recently known to him (or maybe under him). Neither the patient nor the attendant acknowledge the statement. After six days of patient being in the hospital dr comes for his regular visit to discharge her...again passes an UNFORGIVABLE statement ... .." A 25 year old boy was just shifted today from some small hospital with dengue. He just died now. You can see his body down"" Again patient and attendant too horrified to react. How INSENSITIVE and INHUMAN can a person be...and that too a DOCTOR who is talking to his PATIENT is this manner.. Such behaviour is totally UNACCEPTABLE and UNPARDONABLE. The patient is a nervous wreck today just because of him.. The hospital should hire humans and not just so called doctors.. Doctors like Dr Vatsal Kothari Bring shame to the good doctors of the world. Was this information helpful? | |||||

Dr. Vatsal is inconsiderate and a wachko. Had a terrible personal experience with him. You are completely right about him blabbering horrific things in the presence of the patient.

My husband Rick was admitted to the ICU for an acute blood loss he suffered owing to a Mallory Weiss tear in a stomach ulcer in January 2015. His haemoglobin levels swiftly fell to a critical 1.9 and he had to be put on life support.
As a Jehovah's Witness, it was Rick's decision to opt for alternatives to blood transfusions. Dr. Vatsal Kothari and his team of doctors were open-minded and accepting of our decision, something that I will always be indebted to them for.
Dr. Kothari never used his position of authority as the ICU director to coerce us into changing our stance. Rather he was always positive and assuring. In fact, there is something about Dr. Kothari's personality that exudes confidence and optimism. At times, his smile and his light hearted banter are all one needs to see through the gloom. He has the unparalleled ability to help the family perceive a ray of hope, no matter how bleak the chance.
I still remember his assuring words even after a not-so-good MRI.
How can I forget that Rick was to be given 24 hours for steroids to be administered and based on my concerns, Dr. Kothari said, in his signature style, 'Why 24! We can wait for 72 hours!'
Then again, I can't forget Dr. Kothari's timely decision to change a medication that pulled him out of another crisis we were facing with his falling WBCs.
Yes, though it's been 2 years since, there are numerous accounts that I can still recall with as much clarity.
Rick struck a wonderful rapport with Dr. Kothari from the moment he could make sense of his surroundings after being weaned off the tubes, his 'James Bond' as he called doctor in a still semi-conscious state.
Even after Rick was moved out of the ICU, Dr. Kothari continued to visit us and his visits meant a lot.
We look forward to meeting Dr. Kothari even now. He is one of the reasons we can look back on those days with a smile on our lips. Thank you for everything Dr. Kothari.
