Docs in India are getting greedier each day..they are personally good like the demons..each doc has an tie-up with certain Pharma companies..again an tie up with loal mediical shops..they prescribe only those drugs which they get commission for..simply they make scary tales and tell u to go for lab checks..for again they get commission from..so all in all docs likewise mint money..the docs have powerful lobby..they can get away with anything.

Nonsence Doctor

When Dr. Chettri can act as the MD of that Hospital, which is supposed to be an wholetime administrator in this age and earning money by exploiting his position, he should not be spared only by showing the age and greatest doctor. Americans forced Mr. Bill Clinton to beg apology to all of the world, even he has not murdered anyone. But this Mr. Chhetri has plotted to murder 90 people only to earn money and to save some unscrupulous Aggarwal businessman, who can do anything for money.

five years back, i had been diagnosed with tumor in both my ovaries, n in Delhi and nepal, drs told me i will have to get my ovaries removed which meant no kids and at that time Dr pranab das was the one to give hope to me, he operated on me and saved my ovaries and the next year i delivered a baby girl. So the people who have saved so many lives,given hope to thousands of people, can kill anyone intentionally. and raising a question all the time that people have done this to earn money...u tell me who isn't working in today's world to earn money...atleast they were earning serving people... it was unfortunate incident but was an accident not intentionally done to kill people.

What do u think Mr. Sanjay that without medical knowledge a person can be treated... It's a doctor who prescribes the appropriate dose of the medicine. It is their hard work of many years that makes them so capable for saving life. Ur first question says that it's not the doctors but the education that saves people's life. So do u think without studying a person can be so capable. U r just talking rubbish. So please try to use ur brain in the situation and thi aptly.

would you call it an accident if they operated on you and removed one organ instead of other ??? It is NEGLIGENCE and negligence causes accidents

Ekta I appreciate your feelings for Dr Das. You have this feeling because got the beautiful gift of life with his help but think about those people who came to this hospital with the same hope to get some relief from pain in their life. Did they do something wrong to trust this hospital which has earned reputation among people because of these doctors? Now many of them lost their lives and some of the families might have destroyed because of the only earning member got scummbed to this unfortunate incident. How these Doctors can be spared while they were incharge for hospital's operation. There is no excuse for any criminal foe any status, qualification and age. They should have taken retirement if they were unable to perform their duties well. They did not do that and kept themselves at respected positions to earn the money, fame and status. Now they can not use their age, qualification and status to get away from the after incidence consequences.

Mr. Vijay I do appreciate ur feeling but think about the other people also... Please answer one of my questions i.e. Was this fire done on purpose??? Its a disaster not done on purpose. It's was an accident. Another question is that it was a private hospital belonging to marwari's there. Was it suppose to be a govt. Hospital, whom would u have blamed then, would it be Ms. Mamata Bannerjee Who would have been blamed here? Also there r deaths taking place everyday, why doesnt people blame for the baby/cribs death in the SSKM hospital ( a government owned hospital) in bengal whose death toll is more than the total death toll in AMRI fire. Please don't take me otherwise. Also when the media came up with the news that she had only sighted the marwaris, she got the two Bengali directors arrested immediately, until then there was no action taken against them also. So this is wat is called to be dirty politics in India under which some how all we Indians are suffering and I being a youngster, an young Indian would be very unhappy on seeing this and reading this everyday.

No doctor kills a patient "on purpose". That does not mean that there is no death from medical negligence. It is like when a drunk and reckless driver runs over and kills an innocent pedestrian. Is the guy innocent becuase he, of course, did not kill the pedestrian on purpose?

Mr kunal u r taking about a drunk driver which is already stated that drinking and driving is a crime... But I don't think so that bein a doctor is a crime... Moreover, there might be negligence by some doctors. Negligence in the sskm hospital is the cribs death that is occurring almost every hour. But how do u say about the fire.

Corrupt Medical Profession
by IndianBond on Feb 01, 2012 08:58 PM  | Hide replies

The fact remains after Politics the Medical Profession is the most corrupt profession in India. Moreover these doctors have organised themselves in a cartel and because of the specialised nature of their profession it is impossible for a commoner to convict any doctor for negligence. Doctors think themselves to be demi-gods. They need to be lynched in public much like these corrupt netas.

Ravi, You must know how the doctors in private hospitals extract money from patients. For knowing that, you must view the situation from the patients' side. There are instances (many, many indeed) that the DEAD patient was 'treated' inside the privacy of Operation theatre just to inflate the medical bills !!
Do you think doctors profession is any noble now ?

Misleading article
by dhananjaya sabat on Feb 01, 2012 08:17 PM  | Hide replies

Why donot arrest the person or burocrat who gave permission to run a hospital in that building? Why not arrest the builder who built the building which was not according to the guidelines? Why not punish the fire department officers, municipal body officers who did not scan such unlawful construction and prevent this calamity? Why do we Indians need always a calamity to happen and take few necks to be hanged and then forget it? The writer instead of highlighting the problem from its conception, have tried to put all blames on doctors and seem to be highly biased asif to satify own grivances. Do the author know that even in the capital, most of the hospitals run by government donot have fire clearance? Even when the fire department is approached, they refuse to give such clearance citing small reasons ( ex: six meters of open space aroud a building which was made 20 years ago by goverment it self!). We still have fire fighters using old methods to control fire and have areas where fire vehicles cannot reach. Whom to blame??? Discuss the reality, not hypothetical issues. The healthcare fascility of most medical colleges and hospitals in West bengal is pathetic as govt does not spend on hospitals as per increasing population load. Shabby words, breaking beds, short supply drugs, no modern machines, sweepers and nurses not working; what more you want to cause high rate of newborns dying???? Less than 2% of GDP is spent on health. Wake up people, wake of burocrats and govt....

Well done Mamta Didi,Kudos to you.At last you dared to arrest the defiant, rude and elitist big bizz people and the equally elitist medic al professionals.These people have destroyed Calcutta,nurtured and developed by the Brits by their greed and lawlessness in consonance with the earlier Commie Rulers.We need more Mamta Didis all over India,because first is the maintenance of Law and Order and then com es the fight against Corruption.

if Mamta di is so justice lover... then why is she not taking action against people in hospitals where just born babies are dying every hour....just because those are govt hospital??? what justice mamta di?? people are saying all kinds of things about AMRI coz people involved are rich but why isn't anyone asking why if such a prompt action was taken in case of amri then the crib death toll, which is 3-4 times more, why no action has been taken yet?

what action has been taken for the deaths in government hospitals which exceeds the deaths in AMRI ?-- why , because government hospitals cater to the poor ,powerless, voiceless underprivileged class.

The answer to this question is that if mamata tries to punish people for the cribs death then she is firstly have to punish herself in that case ( if we take reference from the AMRI fire) and she also would be behind bars so she cannot coz seriously speaking she is just trying to profitize herself by doing this. And also depriving Bengal the advances it should make

amri
by Manas Sen on Feb 01, 2012 07:18 PM

here there are two issues involved. 1. should the non executive directors be arrested or not. if they should also be arrested, then how come that the state government representatives in the board of amri are still free? they should be arrested too forthwith. why is it that the non executive directors of one community was only targeted initially? wasn't the state government being partial? if non executive directors are also to be tried then how come ms mamata banerjee was not arrested for numerous train accidents during her tenure as railway minister? there were large loss of lives in those train accidents. 2. the second point of view is that should the non executive directors at all be held responsible for the negligence? i am a small time shareholder-owner of several companies. should i also be arrested if these companies indulge in illegal activities? there are several questions of law involved here and the government should apply the rules equally to all concerned irrespective of their stature in the society. as for example, i have never broken any laws of the land, but tomorrow if i commit a murder, would the government allow mw to go scot free? if not, then why this cacophony on the arrest of dr, chhetri?
