I have a few thoughts for everyone to introspect on and invite comments and opinions:
1. In Namma Bengaluru - on a certain bus route - the ordinary BMTC bus ticket costs ₹10. On the same route a BMTC Volvo bus ticket costs ₹80! Both are fees fixed by the government of Karnataka.
2. In NIMHANS, patients from different SOCIOECONOMIC backgrounds pay differential amounts- even for a simple MRI scan, leave alone surgery!
3. No doctor is given even 0.1% concession on land, water, electricity etc even if he is setting up a hospital in a rural or backward area
4. Majority of the investors in big corporate hospitals are BUSINESS PEOPLE AND NON-DOCTORS. they are only interested in RoI and not the patient or treatment. Should this be allowed? But the flip side is- they have the money!
5. Doctors can be legally prosecuted in 5 fora - State medical councils, MCI, consumer court, civil and criminal courts. But even a murderer and rapist can be tried only in one court! So, how is this a Noble profession????
6. When everyone wants capping and reasonable rates for treatment, why is the consumer court no capping the compensation amounts? Isn't that a natural fallout of capping rates?
7. Why should Barista or cafe coffee day charge ₹100 for a cup of coffee (which has 50% froth!) when the Kamat hotel charges ₹10? The milk and coffee powder is probably the same!
8. Doctors on an average have to study much longer and work for much longer and unpredictable hours- so is it a sin to earn more money by working harder?
9. How can we in the healthcare industry charge peanuts and then deliver world class healthcare and also guarantee good minimum wages to our employees like nurses, technicians, ward boys, Ayahs, etc?
10. For the same case - the lawyer in a local court charges a few thousand rupees, but a HC lawyer charges ₹50k to ₹1 lakh and A SC lawyer charges ₹2-5 lakhs? Case and petitioner is the same - all courts are government courts.
11. How come the salaries of junior inexperienced lawyers and judges are much lesser than senior and more experienced ones? Any particular reason? And is this reason exclusive to the judiciary?
12. Why are the same IAS officers who want to cap our charges want VIP treatment in our hospitals FREE and also salary raises?
