This
hospital,
while
well-equipped
and
staffed
with
experienced
doctors,
unfortunately,
tends
to
fall
short
in
accurately
diagnosing
serious
health
issues.
Regrettably,
even
some
doctors
seem
rushed
and
might
not
allocate
sufficient
time
to
listen
to
patients
thoroughly.
In
a
personal
case,
my
wife
experienced
a
significant
oversight
a
decade
ago
when
she
fell
from
a
bus,
resulting
in
persistent
knee
pain.
Despite
multiple
visits
to
this
hospital
and
consultations
with
orthopedic
specialists,
they
consistently
prescribed
X-rays
but
failed
to
conduct
a
thorough
diagnosis.
Over
the
years,
the
pain
persisted,
and
despite
my
wife's
continued
visits
to
this
hospital,
the
doctors
didn't
progress
beyond
suggesting
painkillers.
The
true
extent
of
her
injury,
a
Meniscus
tear
from
the
fall,
was
overlooked.
Had
it
been
correctly
diagnosed
and
addressed
at
the
time,
it
could
have
been
managed
with
exercise,
medication,
and
physiotherapy.
In
September
2022
when
the
pain
became
unbearable,
we
went
to
Manipal
Hospital,
Jayanagar.
During
the
initial
consultation,
Dr.
Ayyappan
V
Nair,
accurately
identified
the
Meniscus
tear
and
advised
appropriate
treatment.
Unfortunately,
by
this
time,
the
tear
had
progressed
to
a
complex
stage,
bordering
on
early
arthritis.
Consequently,
my
wife
had
to
undergo
a
complex
arthroscopic
knee
surgery
in
November
to
rectify
the
issue,
a
far
more
intricate
procedure
than
initially
anticipated.
Now,
a
year
post-operation,
my
wife
is
finally
free
from
the
persistent
pain
and
has
made
a
complete
recovery.
It's
disheartening
to
realize
that
had
the
initial
hospital
conducted
a
more
thorough
examination
back
then
and
not
solely
relied
on
X-rays,
this
complex
tear
and
the
subsequent
surgery
might
have
been
avoided,
preventing
the
progression
to
early
arthritis.
Additionally,
I
would
like
to
highlight
that
this
hospital
should
consider
improving
their
process
of
diagnosis.
During
my
wife's
visits,
an
MRI
was
never
suggested,
and
solely
relying
on
X-rays
might
have
led
to
the
delay
in
identifying
the
exact
issue.
Navigating
the
hospital
for
treatments
can
be
a
challenging
experience,
with
considerable
running
around
involved,
and
there
seems
to
be
no
definite
timeframe
for
receiving
treatments.
On
a
positive
note,
the
hospital
does
offer
the
convenience
of
online
OPD
appointments
and
allows
patients
to
access
their
lab
reports
online.
I
have
attached
images
of
the
OPD
and
OT
schedules,
as
well
as
the
process
for
online
appointments
and
lab
report
downloads
for
reference.
