Stanley Government Hospital Royapuram Chennai — Bribery by ward boys, watch man, etc

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600013

My dad was met with an accident. He was taken to Stanley by ambulance through 108 service. Preliminary observation revealed that he has multiple fractures in right leg. I was asked to take him to cleaning, X-ray, CT scan, dressing, etc. I was asked for money everywhere to do their work for which they are already paid by the governement(which is ofcourse from the tax I pay). And no one is working with the mind set that human life is valuable. I was there in the hospital for about 1.5hrs and no first aid was given, only cleaning and x-ray scanning was performed though my dad was crying out of pain. Since, I was emotionally disturbed with my dad's accident, i paid bribe to everyone with out argument, otherwise they literally do not do anything. Then I realized it would be much more cheaper in private hospital instead of paying a huge money as bribe in Government hospital (within 1.5 hours, I paid ~Rs.3000 only as bribe). Then I shifted him to a private hospital (for arranging an amubulance for shifting, the ward boy asked Rs5000 just for 10km, after bargaining he accepted Rs3200). In private hospital he was treated for the pain within 30minutes and first aid was given within 1 hour. This is my pathetic experience in Government hospital! Since, I had money in my wallet I paid all the bribe which i was asked, just wondering what would happen to the people who has no money.!!! God save India from Bribery and Corruption.
