A
true
money
grubber!
My
mother
visited
him
for
suspected
varicose
veins
(ulcer
in
lower
left
leg)
treatment
and
the
experience
was
as
follows,
Day
1:
Appointment
was
at
9am,
doctor
arrived
at
9.45am,
did
not
bother
looking
at
the
troubled
area,
prescribed
‘Doppler
Test’
right
away
for
both
legs,
to
be
done
at
Suraksha
Diagnostics
-
Salt
Lake,
same
place
where
he
practices.
Total
time
with
the
doctor
for
this
appointment
was
5-7
minutes.
[Fees
Rs1000]
Day
2:
Appointment
was
at
10am,
doctor
arrived
at
10.20am.
Took
a
careless
glance
at
the
‘Doppler
Test’
(worth
Rs
8800)
results
and
declared
them
incorrect
&
asked
to
be
redone
from
another
location
outside
Suraksha.
When
questioned
what
was
wrong,
denied
a
response
and
suggested
a
laser
surgery
for
both
legs
(worth
Rs
1.2
lacs
for
each
leg).
All
of
this
without
taking
any
diagnostic
assessment
of
manually
assessing
the
ailment.
Again,
on
humbly
requesting
to
validate
the
ask
for
surgery
Dr.
Purnendu
blatantly
started
mocking
the
food
habits
of
my
parents
and
the
expenses
that
he
believes
they
generally
incur
towards
them.
Just
to
substantiate
how
his
sweeping
recommendation
for
a
surgery
is
appropriate.
Friends,
I
am
from
the
era
where
doctors
were
heavily
dependent
on
their
medical
knowledge
&
intuitive
skills
to
diagnose
and
cure
an
ailment.
But
today
it
is
difficult
to
find
someone
like
that,
more
so
where
we
have
vultures
like
Purnendu
diminishing
the
nobility
of
the
profession.
