1/5 Lalay Zahra S. 8 months ago on Google
I
went
to
A.O
Hospital
to
see
Dr
Imran
Ali
Shah
for
my
avulsion
fracture
in
the
great
toe
which
happened
about
two
years
ago
and
didn’t
heal
till
now
for
some
reason.
Avulsion
fractures
are
usually
healed
on
their
own
by
resting
the
fractured
part
and
doesn’t
require
any
treatment.
I
consulted
other
two
reputed
hospitals
and
they
advised
surgery
which
I
completely
agree
is
the
last
option
I’m
left
with
but
I
couldn’t
get
it
done
there
as
they’re
highly
expensive
and
I
can’t
afford
them.
As
soon
as
I
spoke
to
the
guy
sitting
in
the
emergency
room
here
I
got
disappointed
with
the
hospital
system
and
policies.
I
had
online
X-Ray
images
on
my
phone
one
of
them
was
a
month
old,
another
was
four
months
old
and
the
third
was
two
years
old.
The
guy
in
the
emergency
room
asked
me
to
do
another
X-Ray
to
get
a
Film.
Everyone
knows
that
electronic
X-Ray
images
retrieved
online
are
as
good
as
a
Film.
And
the
fact
that
X-Ray
machine
rays
are
harmful
for
the
body
hence
X-Ray
shouldn’t
be
done
that
frequently.
I
clearly
understood
that
this
place
isn’t
a
hospital
it’s
like
a
company
where
management
is
doing
business
to
make
money
they
make
you
spend
money
to
fill
their
bank
accounts.
Even
after
this
disappointment
I
still
wanted
to
see
Dr
Imran
with
a
hope
that
he
could
be
good
at
his
work
as
he
is
trained
overseas.
I
went
there
at
2pm
waited
until
4:30pm
then
I
got
to
meet
Dr.
Imran.
He
turned
out
to
be
the
most
inexperienced
Orthopaedic
Surgeons
I
met
so
far.
When
I
proposed
the
idea
of
surgery,
first
he
said,
“It’s
not
necessary
that
your
fracture
will
completely
heal
after
surgery
it
may
still
hurt.”
When
I
said
I
don’t
see
any
other
option
than
surgery
and
the
fact
that
the
fracture
hurts
a
lot
especially
when
I
walk
long
distances
wearing
joggers
then
he
said,
“Okay
do
a
C.T
Scan
so
that
I
can
clearly
see
the
fracture”.
When
I
asked
if
we
don’t
go
for
a
surgery
what’s
the
second
option
and
he
replied,
“you
can
take
pain
killers
for
the
rest
of
your
life”.
It
was
all
shocking
to
hear.
No
other
surgeon
demanded
for
C.T
Scan.
If
an
orthopaedic
surgeon
is
an
expert
he
doesn’t
need
C.T
Scan
only
an
X-Ray
would
be
enough.
I
still
took
the
reference
for
C.T
Scan
thinking
that
if
I
have
come
this
far
at
least
I
should
find
the
cost
of
a
Scan.
It
turned
out
to
be
Rs.18,640.
I
called
my
mother
over
the
phone
explained
her
the
whole
thing
and
we
came
down
to
a
conclusion
that
the
reason
why
Dr
Imran
didn’t
say
confidently
that
it’s
a
small
surgery
and
he
can
fix
it
easily
as
he
is
inexperienced.
He
unnecessarily
wanted
me
to
waste
money
on
a
C.T
Scan.
I
decided
not
to
go
any
further
and
just
go
home.
I
wasted
Rs.5000
on
a
cab
to
go
to
this
hospital
then
Rs.2900
on
the
Dr’s
consultation
fee
and
wasted
my
precious
6
hours
on
this
useless
visit.
I
went
to
this
hospital
with
a
hope
that
it
was
founded
by
great
Dr.
Mohammad
Ali
Shah
an
outstanding
orthopaedic
surgeon.
And
I
thought
his
son
may
turn
out
to
be
as
good
as
him.
If
Dr.
Mohammad
Ali
Shah
was
alive
today
he
would
be
ashamed
on
the
policies
of
the
hospital
that
doesn’t
give
a
damn
about
lives
and
only
concern
about
filling
up
their
bank
accounts.
