Medical expertise
Mr. Ahmed Niaz's above captioned letter has touched me deeply. The inadequacy in terms of expertise in medical field is horrible. It is better not to discuss govt. hospitals. Some big private hospitals which were launched after creating much hype and sounds, are not much better. Their consultants are (most of them) mediocre, probably as per the instructions of their owners, they go and go and go for damn expensive investigations, which are not always necessary, they recruit junior doctors mainly graduated from so called private medical colleges,(the govt. medical college graduates don't stay long in these hospitals.).And about these private medical colleges, may Allah protect this nation from them, the least said, the better! And a very important segment of a hospital the nursing side, is far from any acceptable standard. The charges of these hospitals are irrationally high.
Very recently, I had to endure two top private hospitals of Dhaka, for the treatment of my parents. As a member of medical profession I felt that my mother died because of the "hammer brand" surgeon who performed an unnecessary surgery to her which was not required. Neither for life saving nor for quality improvement of life. Probably he did it to earn some revenue for his master! My father also died starting with wrong diagnosis and lastly by some mechanical and robotic treatment, without any humane touch.
I never complained to anybody, I know the doctors and transport sector workers are most organized in Bangladesh. They are above law and without morality.
