ReplyDelete"We may grumble about the state of affairs at the BC Roy Technology Hospital, but it would be relieving and useful for all of us to know that emergency services, basic medical facilities and good doctors are available within minutes from the IIT Kharagpur campus. These people charge mediocre amounts (within Rs 200/- per consultation) for their services and provide an assured and better quality of treatment than what we face at IIT Kharagpur. Moreover, the UNI-CARE insurance policy that we avail through our institute allows us to get all our medical bills reimbursed, too. So, we can actually get better medical services free of cost without having to depend on the BC Roy Technology Hospital.
In a couple of hours of searching, we were able to come up with a list of medical services available in and around Kharagpur (within walking distance of Hotel Park), the details of which are provided as follows...... "

I wonder about the action taken against the medical officer whose negligence caused this incident.
ReplyDeleteAm I correct in gathering that same Dr. Som has been included in the committee mentioned above? If I am, I would add that is ridiculous.
