As a doctor I completely agree with this. The main problem is when the hospital is managed by MBA graduates who doesn't value health or care about the patients. All they care about is the profit margins. And they put young doctors under pressure to prescribe more medicines and tests (by giving target) When we protest, we lose the job, bcoz they can easily find another doctor in the saturated healthcare Industry.

As a Doctor I agree with this video. There are many private hospitals who are looting people. On the other hand there are many charity hospitals (like where I used to work) they don't charge anything unnecessary.
Health insurance is very important.
Don't go for online insurance, read all the terms and conditions before doing the insurance, as there are many loopholes by which private hospitals can loot you.

People should know more about their rights in Healthcare.

I'm a corporate employee and a family guy. I always having this trauma of going bankruptcies due to medical emergencies. I don't know why no party talks about this issue. For me five things government should bring immediate reform
1. Health care
2. Education sector
3. Remove quota system
4. Mosquitoes free India
5. Clean water and air

Unfortunately, the same situation occurred with my close cousin when she was just a child (12yrs). She fell ill and reached an emergency state, prompting a shift from Itanagar to Guwahati at a private hospital. Instead of providing genuine help, they prescribed numerous unnecessary tests and medicines, all seemingly aimed at inflating the bill. Tragically, she passed away, leaving her father, a farmer, burdened with insurmountable hospital debt. The heartbreaking part is that she expressed concern ( basically said sorry')about the debts she unintentionally imposed on her father.
So once again thanks for covering this crucial issue, you're one of my fav youtuber.❤

I am doctor and i can confirm that many hospitals actually do it

Now one thing people wouldn't understand here is that since the "consumer court" cases against doctors, everyone is terrified and being over careful. So if there is a slight chance you MAY need a test, they will have to prescribe it, since if it ever comes up in court, the argument would be "you didnt get this test done for the pt, you were negligent" . None of these test will seem "unnecessary" to the court when you are defending your livelihood against people with no medical background. They will always ask 'why did you treat without tests?' "why didn't you check for xyz?"

Also, the death of the small private clinic and the era of corporate hospitals is responsible for this rise in prices.

If you treat your doctors as if youre a consumer, and the govt categorieses this relationship as one that is to be held up in CONSUMER COURT, what do you expect ? Normal, rational decisions are questioned and entire lives and careers are ruined by emotional relatives with no knowledge of the medical field and are driven by the narrative that "doctors are out to get you".

The solution to pricing is visiting your local government hospitals, I don't know about other states, but in ours, it's a wonderful setup.

Being a doctor, i have worked in both Government and Private hospitals. While in Government hospitals, it is very hard to survive if you have strong ethics and morals, as other greedy and dishonest seniors/ staff will make your life hell for ruining their "business", then in Private hospitals, you work like a corporate majdoor, where you yourself will pay for your treatment in the same hospital, no matter how hard you work., with limited leaves and extended hours of work. But we still work, because, at the end of the day, it is the most emotionally rewarding profession

You are absolutely right. My father was admitted in a private hospital for 6 days and they made a bill of 3, 80, 000

Hats off to OPEN LETTER for such kind of

[anafashraf]

A few days ago, my uncle had an accident and broke his legs. We took him to a government hospital, but the doctors there didn't give him much attention, just a quick checkup. They said he'd have to wait for surgery, maybe 25 or 30 days. That night, we took him to a private hospital where the same doctor performed the surgery right away. This is why many people choose private hospitals over government ones.

I am a doctor and this video has a lot of truth. I tried to find out the cause behind these incidents and it came to light that the corporate hospitals are funded by investors who are not doctors, they are obviously looking for the return on investment. I am not saying all hospitals are bad but if a hospital is running just for the sake of profits it will have to sort to some unethical means or the other since it is difficult to make a profitable hospital. Believe me. But when I see hospitals making a profit I realise that their general ideology is not about making money but it is more towards giving results and building trust. A slower process but they do eventually make profits because people don’t hesitate to spend on health if they trust the doctor or hospital.
My Professor used to say that we must remember that we are in the satisfaction business and not just saving lives. If the patient and relatives are convinced that their doctor has put in every effort then they shall accept the fate.
People are not stupid, they just trust us in their most vulnerable time and we must deal with it honestly.
And finally, lets not forget that quality healthcare care requires a lot of money.

Doctor prescribes the medicines from the company which pays them ; you prescribe companies which sponsor you !!

[Drjitendragurjar]

As a doctor I agree with u but only show one side of private hospitals but maximum doctors are good and world run on trust bro

[drrajshekharsantra]

Being a doctor, I can confirm your video to be true at most of the data. In corporate setup, MBA and non medical personnel decides polices, then all the medical professionals are bound to follow it to survive their job, whereas in govt. setup, there is always scarcity of infrastructure, manpower, medicines etc. It is hard for everyone to find a good option for their own health. Will talk in my youtube channel about these things later.

[sarthakchandra]

Your best bet if you're going to private hospitals is either go to non corporate hospitals, anything less than 90-100 beds, run by doctors or small businessmen,
or private colleges. You'll get a good healthcare experience, And most medical colleges offer great rates. Especially in govt schemes.
