Reechpaal Yadav, a daily wage labourer who is seeking treatment at GTB hospital, said, ‘I don’t have enough money to afford such a medical tests from private pathology labs. But the doctors here tell us to avail the service from outside.’
Ravi, who has diabetics complained that he was taking medicines on the bases of the reports produced by the GTB hospital, which caused him more discomfort. Later, after he was tested in a private lab, he found out that he had been administered wrong treatment on the bases of the check ups run by the machine in the hospital.
When contacted, the urology department head, Dr B K Jain, simply refuted that he is not the right person to be consulted on this matter.
