This is one of the worst hospitals ever, I will never ever recommend this hospital or the doctors from this hospital to anyone I know from the US or to my colleagues/family in India. My aunt, Ms Moham
was admitted to your hospital and your doctors nearly killed her. She was admitted for an investigation into her stomach problems. My aunt is very weak, weighs 35 kgs had intestitial lung disease and had a back injury few days ago. The medication she took for the back injury caused stomach bleeds. That is the reason she was admitted to this hospital to check her stomach bleed. The doctors were clearly told and informed about her current medications and her issues with her ILS ( lung disease), they tried to force an endoscopy tube and caused severe breathing difficulties. The doctors(Dr. Rajkumar) are clueless and arrogant and indulge in nonsense talk regarding "maya/ religion". Subsequently even after knowing her weakness and condition forced her stay without food for 12 hrs for a barium test. Additionally, With full kowledge of her back injury they tried to force her to walk and bend causing further pain to her. They don’t know to schedule tests with least pain to the patient, they made her sit for 4 hrs in line before determined if the barium test equipment was available. This is disgusting. Going forward, I have instructed to my family to take legal help and my family will have unlimited funds to pursue such a course if such a case occurs.

This is what happens when you watch TV advertisements and decide on where to undergo treatment
why Mr.Vijaya kanth not taking any action now he a responsible Opposition leader. ( remember Ramana Movie )
DONT ADMIT HERE - I would have given negative stars if it exist. I took my beloved mother to this hospital due to heart attack for the 1st time, they given a worst treatment. They kept for 2 days in ICU and she is no more in 3rd day. Main motto of this hospital is money, money, only money. There is no neurology department available in this hospital, after a mild attack to check brain condition they brought neurologist from outside after very prolonged waiting hours. We were very fed-up with their worst services. I admitted my mother and waited for almost a 5 to 6 hours for neurologist, he came very lethargic. He said we can wait and check her condition after 2 days, even without taken any scan or EEG nothing. They wont give any treatment until you push them to treat the patient. If there is any emergency, better take the patient to MMM hospital immediately or else they will send your beloved one to the burial/cremation ground located in-front of the hospital. We wanted to move my mother to the near by hospital in emergency situation due to worst treatment they provided, we notified in the morning they took almost 6 hours to clear the settlement. I lost my beloved mother, because of their worst service.
My sincere request to the forum is, Never ever go there. The worst ever experience for the patients and their attenders. The facilities are worst. They call themselves internationally fit, but they have very old facility types. Money swindling people with no ethics that's necessary for doctors.
I had admitted my dad for an open heart surgery as it was promised that will be done by the famous dr himself. But it was not done by him but by another Dr.Madhushankar (this same guy who was asked to leave due to some issues earlier and no one knows how Mr. Cherian could ask him to come back). There were so many procedures done on my dad without our knowledge as the daily bills only show us as some procedures were done like balloon blast etc.
My question here is, after an open heart surgery why will the doctors make him undergo a balloon procedure equal to placing a stent. I understand that, the skill of a surgeon lies in the way a patient is recuperating in post operative care.
In fact during the patient visits, Dr. Madhushankar who did the operation never visited my dad and no proper treatment was provided and the operation created sepsis in him. Most unclean place as mosquitoes can be seen breeding in the ceiling of the private ward toilet.
They have very lean staffing for nurses (night shifts- Single lady nurse to care for a general ward and few other wards) and no contingency plans (during monsoon no proper clothing was provided to the patients as they were running short of the ICU patient gowns). They could hardly make any difference as they were busy making money by letting out their operating theatre for movie shooting during the weekends. I had asked the Dr. Cherian a couple of times about my dad's recovery for which he snapped as though they are trying their best to get him out of the situation, but why should this man snap at me for his doctors mistakes as if we are taking the treatment free of cost. His son is much better to interact.
Tamil movie Miruthan, was shot there and one of the lift was used only by the shooting team. The generator that was used for shooting was emitting the (poisonous for the open heart surgery patient who is undergoing treatment even after 18 days) smoke which got into my dad's room as the window was not properly closing due to some beading issue with the window sill. This smoke created suffocation for my dad the same evening and he was again taken into ICU for treatment and he never made it, where in he was in and out of ICU for more than 36 days and breathed his last.
The last moment too they only said that we have to be by his side and allowed to be with him, but no other so called god of heart surgeries was never there to even tell us the truth as to why so many procedures were done on him and what exactly happened to him. We spent more than 15 lakhs for the treatment and lost my dad too. In fact patient attenders who make noise of such issues were paid at lest partial amount to shut their mouth, when they took the body of their beloved but we couldn't even think of such a situation.
I was really taken back when Mr. Cherian himself saw my dad in pain even after 10 days of the operation and called Dr. Madhushankar to check what had he done on the patient. . The phones in the patient ward doesn't work most of the time and their way of treating the staffs is also very bad.
I had a terrible experience in this hospital.I was pregnant for 10 weeks. Suddenly I started bleeding, went to life line hospital in Perungudi as it was near to my office.First they told me to register.It took me half an hour to finish the registration procedure. There were no Gynaecologists at that time. They made me wait for 1 hr and sent me to the Lab for an ultrasound.The doctors in the lab looked inexperienced.Just 2 mins after the scan I had an abortion.They admitted me in the labor ward. They asked me for cash for some tests. I did not have enough money. I said that I have called my in-laws and they will be there in another 10 mins.I showed them my office id card.But they made me pay with my debit card.

The doctor just visited me only for 5 mins.After I got discharged it took nearly 1 week to get my Discharge summary..that too after calling them several times.They sent the fetal tissue to some scan center and said it will take 3 months to get the report.After 3 months, I called the hospital more than 20 times.There were no proper response.Suddenly they said that we took the tissue at the time of discharge and they were not responsible.Then I gave them the receipt number.

After 2 days, I got the report(Duplicate copy) from them
Really unprofessional, on fever they ask to get admitted to hospital and make you undergo tests.
After undergoing test, duty doctor Samuel says dengue is there when cross questioned he leaves abruptly and another doctor says it's just viral fever.
You yourself can decide the state of affairs!

    Never ever go to this hospital unless you are fed up of this world and want to die soon.Rajkumar will do surgery even for complications that do not require surgery.He has good skills(only in english and not in surgery).Before surgery, he will assure you that it is like cakewalk for him to do this surgery.blah.blah but after surgery, if the patient's condition worsens, he will back away and say that the complication happened due to some other issues.He is greedy like a wolf and please do not fall in his trap.All his staffs are also incompetent.They include one srilankan guy called aadhavan and one lady by name neha.The ICUin their hospital is a big joke.One doctor(whose name is also raja) can be seen smoking in the carparking during his night shift.God only can help the patients who are under his care in the sterile environment.

    I could see some posts appreciating the doctor and I strongly suspect they are from the doctor himself or his agents.Please stay away and stay alive.

    This is the worst hospital run by cheaters.Rajkumar will always insst on laproscopic surgery just because he want add his name in some record books for the most number of laprascopic surgeries performed by anyone.He will entice you with attractive words but after the surgery, if something goes wrong(which happens always), he will treat you like a dog and will try to avoid you.You will not believe me for the following phrase.i admitted my dad there and on the same day he expired, 3 more patients who were performed surgeries by rajkumar died.

    Rajkumar is a criminal by himself and he has fled the united states long time back fearing legal action against him.His son is now studying to become a doctor in some private college by paying huge money and he will also one day kill people like his dad.If you want to stay alive to share all the happiness with your family, never ever go to Rajkumar.He is the lord yama in disguise.Please do not feel that I am wrinting all these things just because I lost my dad.I want everyone to take my experiences as a lesson and avoid him because after all'it is for our life we are struggling for' and you dont want to lose it to one cheating hospital run by a fraud.

        I only wish I had seen your comments before; I took my father to Lifeline, as he was having loose motion for two days. The doctor's asked him to be admitted immediately. For two days they gave lots of medicines, by which time, the loose motion stopped, but his stomach started bulging. Dr. Rajkumar advised us that colostomy has to be done imdtly or else his stomach might burst. The colostomy was done;he was kept in ICU for a week and in ventilattor. We were told he is not breathing by himself & he needed ventilator... Finally, after 1 week, he was shifted to the room on an evening. He was doing well; I left him with my mom the next day morning & went to work. I got a call from my mom to come to hospital immdtly. Later we learnt that he got a stroke; this happened around 4:30PM, while he was given a physio therapy. It took the hospital staff about 10 mins to revive him. He was breathless for nearly 10 mins. 6 to 7 mins was lost in the room itself. The doctor attending was yelling at the nurses about where the items were kept (baloon?). He was taken to the ICU and was recovered there; He was again confined in the ICU for another 10 days; during this period we were told that he is not breathing himself & he is not able to recognize & all kind of nonsense. Accidentally I went to see a doctor in ICU early in the morning; the doctor was not around inthe ICU. I went near my dad and called him; he was immediately able to recognize me; his face was full of emotion; I had a suspicion and moved him to apollo and they informed us that he is able to breathe by himself. He was in Appollo for another 15 days, where they recovered him well. Now he is in home with us, unable to move, completely bed ridden, he also has a tracheostomy; unable to speak; we are struggling to know what he wants, whether it hurts him. It was tool late for us to take any leagal action against lifeline; but we trust in God and know that justice will be done, sooner or later.

        I dont know whether justice would ever be done for the crimes committed against honest and innocent by the criminals in this KALI. BUt it is over fate to undergo such trauma in our life time woth over loved ones. My fatehr died at his Jinkyard like ICU at RIGID on 21.12. 2005. We thought he was honest and sincere. but VERY VERY EXPENSIVE withno matching services. Now we here moare about his other side too. IF god does exist let him prove that hHE is on the side of DHARMA.
        ur absoletely correct he is a of ..i went to him for stomach problems. He told me to do Anal sphintcher operation then only ur problems get cured.. He did n't investigate or tests me.. at first he gave Rabeprozole tablets for 30 days after that he gave H-Pylori kits(That too no tests for H-Pylori bacteria)for 14 days .. he asked me after one and half month, i told problem in my stool i feel hard during motion..then he told u must undergo operation with out tests or even seen ...we must kill these kind of holes. After that i consult with several doctors they told that no need of operation and all.
        Dr. Rajkumar is a publicity seeking individual. All they care about is proving to all the patients and their visitors that they rescued each of their patients from the clutches of death. I hate the fact that he meets 4-5 patients together. They make 2 patients wait in the room as the doctor is talking to the third. There is no privacy in the hospitals. And the nurses sing tales of all the celebrities who have been there for cosmetic surgeries. So even the VIP's secrets are compromised. So you can assume what is the case of a normal citizen. Maybe, in Government hospitals in rural india, doctors will discuss one patient's case in front of other patients. But not in such a upmarket high class hospital that charges you three times hte fee a normal hospital does. Dr. Rajkumar will tell you that you can walk, run, climb, swim, trek do almost anything after any surgery...and they stitch you so badly that it leaves scars for life. Only stitches done by Dr. Rajkumar have become ugly scars. All other operation scars healed beautifully.

        All the doctor and the staff care about is publicity. They want the whole waiting room to know a patient's history and then applaud them for treating that patient. This is disgusting.
        ya, gentle man, this for ur information, he is the great surgeon chucked from the Stanley medical college and hospital for his inability, Patients are patients attender should be aware before they get admitted or admit somebody in any hospital, Hospitals infrastructure and white girls in the hospital is not going to save ur life, check one important thing whether is capable of handling the complicated cases / patients ...
        Dr Rajkumar... he is a sucker. Always wants to suck money. No other motive.
        Dear Indians...please please dont go to LIFE LIINE hospital. Doctors there will kill the patient.
        I have filed a case for medical negligence before National Consumer Commission against Rajkumar. it is due to end now. If you have a complaint before 2 years, I can help you. you must file a case within two years of cause of action.

        Good to you sir. You were by brother's professor at National College. If you can share the details of your case that would be of great help. My father died at his antic like junkyard aks ICU on 21.12.2005. I thought he was honest and sincere compared to K. Narasinghareddy of Vijaya now at Apollo and Mugalivakkam Kedhar Hospital Dr.SRIDHAR. But later reports telling me different stories too.
        It was misdiagnosis for me right from the start. They don't value life out there when somebody can be too f&^%^&* RIGID! They took test after test. They treated me as an in-patient. They told me that which was obvious and I of-course had very high IgE .

        I once was an asthmatic you see. But when I was rushed to the hospital for my syncope like condition, the doctor down there said that I was too stressed up and said that it was all in my mind! How dumb and lame of her! They even wanted their psychologist in their panel to evaluate me! They certainly think too much but only talk too much, and they did very very little to help a poor guy like me . They never take a case history, or never looked into my case history well.
        DONT ADMIT HERE - I would have given negative stars if it exist. I took my beloved mother to this hospital due to heart attack for the 1st time, they given a worst treatment. They kept for 2 days in ICU and she is no more in 3rd day. Main motto of this hospital is money, money, only money. There is no neurology department available in this hospital, after a mild attack to check brain condition they brought neurologist from outside after very prolonged waiting hours. We were very fed-up with their worst services. I admitted my mother and waited for almost a 5 to 6 hours for neurologist, he came very lethargic. He said we can wait and check her condition after 2 days, even without taken any scan or EEG nothing. They wont give any treatment until you push them to treat the patient. If there is any emergency, better take the patient to MMM hospital immediately or else they will send your beloved one to the burial/cremation ground located in-front of the hospital. We wanted to move my mother to the near by hospital in emergency situation due to worst treatment they provided, we notified in the morning they took almost 6 hours to clear the settlement. I lost my beloved mother, because of their worst service.
        My sincere request to the forum is, Never ever go there. The worst ever experience for the patients and their attenders. The facilities are worst. They call themselves internationally fit, but they have very old facility types. Money swindling people with no ethics that's necessary for doctors.
        I had admitted my dad for an open heart surgery as it was promised that will be done by the famous dr himself. But it was not done by him but by another Dr.Madhushankar (this same guy who was asked to leave due to some issues earlier and no one knows how Mr. Cherian could ask him to come back). There were so many procedures done on my dad without our knowledge as the daily bills only show us as some procedures were done like balloon blast etc.
        My question here is, after an open heart surgery why will the doctors make him undergo a balloon procedure equal to placing a stent. I understand that, the skill of a surgeon lies in the way a patient is recuperating in post operative care.
        In fact during the patient visits, Dr. Madhushankar who did the operation never visited my dad and no proper treatment was provided and the operation created sepsis in him. Most unclean place as mosquitoes can be seen breeding in the ceiling of the private ward toilet.
        They have very lean staffing for nurses (night shifts- Single lady nurse to care for a general ward and few other wards) and no contingency plans (during monsoon no proper clothing was provided to the patients as they were running short of the ICU patient gowns). They could hardly make any difference as they were busy making money by letting out their operating theatre for movie shooting during the weekends. I had asked the Dr. Cherian a couple of times about my dad's recovery for which he snapped as though they are trying their best to get him out of the situation, but why should this man snap at me for his doctors mistakes as if we are taking the treatment free of cost. His son is much better to interact.
        Tamil movie Miruthan, was shot there and one of the lift was used only by the shooting team. The generator that was used for shooting was emitting the (poisonous for the open heart surgery patient who is undergoing treatment even after 18 days) smoke which got into my dad's room as the window was not properly closing due to some beading issue with the window sill. This smoke created suffocation for my dad the same evening and he was again taken into ICU for treatment and he never made it, where in he was in and out of ICU for more than 36 days and breathed his last.
        The last moment too they only said that we have to be by his side and allowed to be with him, but no other so called god of heart surgeries was never there to even tell us the truth as to why so many procedures were done on him and what exactly happened to him. We spent more than 15 lakhs for the treatment and lost my dad too. In fact patient attenders who make noise of such issues were paid at lest partial amount to shut their mouth, when they took the body of their beloved but we couldn't even think of such a situation.
        I was really taken back when Mr. Cherian himself saw my dad in pain even after 10 days of the operation and called Dr. Madhushankar to check what had he done on the patient. . The phones in the patient ward doesn't work most of the time and their way of treating the staffs is also very bad.
        Really unprofessional, on fever they ask to get admitted to hospital and make you undergo tests.
        After undergoing test, duty doctor Samuel says dengue is there when cross questioned he leaves abruptly and another doctor says it's just viral fever.
        You yourself can decide the state of affairs!

          LIFE AFTER DEATH – real life (rather death) experience

          This is not a philosophical statement on one's life after death, this is about how my wife, Padma died in a hospital in Chennai. Whatever I have seen only in movies so far, is experienced by me.

          We were living in the UK for few years; our family includes me, my wife (Padma), and our 7 yr old son and 8months old daughter. My wife had a symptom of...

          Hi,

          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??

          I have also witnessed similar situations. The charges are very high and according to the type of rooms we choose. Moresoever if there is an Insurance Coverage, the bill would just multiply. On one side they loot, on the other side they are highly indisciplined, no punctuality, would direct us to take all tests possible on earth and its a pathetic situation we are in since there is no mechanism in India to counter these issues. Its quite common for hospitals to do something and get away including careless surgeries and ultimate deaths. We continue to get complaints about Lifeline from someone or the other and we normally advise friends to go to some other hospital
          Well, fortunately or unfortunately that's the case with all the big hospitals. But that's not just the attitude in India, its the same way all over the world. When the hospitals know that you are covered under insurance, they make the best of it and do all the tests possible. At the end of the test the sometimes do incorrect diagnosis or make way for future money making. It has happened to me in a leading hospital in Chennai where I got admitted for stomach pain. It was gastroenteritis and I was tested for everything else possible. Though the treatment was successful, I was told that I have some big time problem in my uterus and that I may not be able to conceive. Common sense ruled ignorance and I took second opinion from a renowned gyno in Chennai only to know I was perfectly normal. Had I gone with the big hospital's diagnosis, I wonder where it all would have ended. This hospital that I am talking about has been in Chennai for more than 2 decades. Take enough references and also take many opinions before getting admitted for treatment.
          hello, i am saran, once my friend who got stomach pain continuosly for few years, we consulted to local doctors and they say it is appendicitis and they operated, but after that also no pain stopped, when we go to the doctor he told nothing problem, so i planned to consult dr j s rajkumar, he asked to take ct scan, we taked and it shows a cyst in the abdomen and he operated and removed it successfully, so dont think that doctors are all especially dr j s rajkumar are money minded, please dont make nuisance like this as favour of some other peoples.
          Dr Rajkumar is money motive person. Last week my aunty had undergone surgery, after three days she passed from all my family. It is all because of Dr Rajkumar treatment. Now i have lost my beloved aunty. Please dont believe TV information about him. Before admit into hospital my aunty had only obesity problem, her heart conditon and other things are ok, . After series of diagonis and consultation from various doctors Dr rajkumar advice for operation, After 3 days from operation my aunty died. It is all due to JSR . Please save humman value. Dr like jsr are only knows the money value, please save all our family ones from these kind of terrorist doctor.
          please dont make nuisance about Dr.J.S.Rajkumar he is a good person it is real.

I asked the Drs. the reason, I know they are hiding something. even the particular DR gone on leave, at last I lost my Dad.

          WILL THE GOVERNMENT WILL TAKE ACTION ?
          OR I WILL SATISFY MYSELF AS I AM DOING SERVICE FOR HUMANITY.
          Hi, Dr rajkumar is seriously money minded. We had an intestinal operation for my dad and had to stay there for almost 3 weeks but no cure. They said, the package for the operation is Rs 60, 000 but ended up paying 4 lakhs when discharging. we had argument with the GM vivek. Once u r admitted and if they know u r wealthy, they will start to suck all your money. This guy called, Vivek, GM of Llifeline hospital in perungudi and he is the worst of all. He will not show any simpathy and all he wants is money and money. Vivek. I hate this guy.
          Dear Mr.Mohamed Deen,

          Before Vivek a another G.M. was their Mr.Kabaleeshwaran, (that time Vivek was asst. manager and owned a small hospital nearby.) before that Mr.Androz Maharaja was their if you want a real story about the surgeon you can contact and meet him personally they well tell stories about the hospitals.

And I did not receive any communication from the moderators . This is for your information. I have a personal experience about this hospital and will post the same on 21 dec this month the 8th year of my father's death day in the junkyard aks ICU in the RIGID hospital of Dr. J.S. Rajkumar.

          Never ever go to this hospital unless you are fed up of this world and want to die soon.Rajkumar will do surgery even for complications that do not require surgery.He has good skills(only in english and not in surgery).Before surgery, he will assure you that it is like cakewalk for him to do this surgery.blah.blah but after surgery, if the patient's condition worsens, he will back away and say that the complication happened due to some other issues.He is greedy like a wolf and please do not fall in his trap.All his staffs are also incompetent.They include one srilankan guy called aadhavan and one lady by name neha.The ICUin their hospital is a big joke.One doctor(whose name is also raja) can be seen smoking in the carparking during his night shift.God only can help the patients who are under his care in the sterile environment.

          I could see some posts appreciating the doctor and I strongly suspect they are from the doctor himself or his agents.Please stay away and stay alive.

          This is the worst hospital run by cheaters.Rajkumar will always insst on laproscopic surgery just because he want add his name in some record books for the most number of laprascopic surgeries performed by anyone.He will entice you with attractive words but after the surgery, if something goes wrong(which happens always), he will treat you like a dog and will try to avoid you.You will not believe me for the following phrase.i admitted my dad there and on the same day he expired, 3 more patients who were performed surgeries by rajkumar died.

          Rajkumar is a criminal by himself and he has fled the united states long time back fearing legal action against him.His son is now studying to become a doctor in some private college by paying huge money and he will also one day kill people like his dad.If you want to stay alive to share all the happiness with your family, never ever go to Rajkumar.He is the lord yama in disguise.Please do not feel that I am wrinting all these things just because I lost my dad.I want everyone to take my experiences as a lesson and avoid him because after all'it is for our life we are struggling for' and you dont want to lose it to one cheating hospital run by a fraud.

          This hospital is similar to the one shown in ramana movie.they will treat even dead bodies for damn money
          I had a terrible experience in this hospital.I was pregnant for 10 weeks. Suddenly I started bleeding, went to life line hospital in Perungudi as it was near to my office.First they told me to register.It took me half an hour to finish the registration procedure. There were no Gynaecologists at that time. They made me wait for 1 hr and sent me to the Lab for an ultrasound.The doctors in the lab looked inexperienced.Just 2 mins after the scan I had an abortion.They admitted me in the labor ward. They asked me for cash for some tests. I did not have enough money. I said that I have called my in-laws and they will be there in another 10 mins.I showed them my office id card.But they made me pay with my debit card.

          The doctor just visited me only for 5 mins.After I got discharged it took nearly 1 week to get my Discharge summary..that too after calling them several times.They sent the fetal tissue to some scan center and said it will take 3 months to get the report.After 3 months, I called the hospital more than 20 times.There were no proper response.Suddenly they said that we took the tissue at the time of discharge and they were not responsible.Then I gave them the receipt number.

          After 2 days, I got the report(Duplicate copy) from them
          Really unprofessional, on fever they ask to get admitted to hospital and make you undergo tests.
          After undergoing test, duty doctor Samuel says dengue is there when cross questioned he leaves abruptly and another doctor says it's just viral fever.
