Iam Dr.Rahul V Nair, son of Mr. R.Vijayakumar, Who served as press photographer of Kerala Times newspaper from 1979. He is 51yrs old now. Iam writting this letter to bring into your kind notice, the facts of medical corruption happening our place.
Last february 7th night my dad got fever with chills and rigor.. He was taken to Medical Trust Hospital, Cochin and casualty duty doctor on that night adviced admission in icu and when my dad refused the admission in icu, they forcefully sedated him with serenace (haloperidol )injection and they loaded him with serenace whenever he wokes up in icu, and they made my dad to stay comatose for weeks, later he developed Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome as side effect of the drug haloperidol and then the treating doctor gave it a diagnosis as psychosis.My dad lost his cognition and developed fits like under the influence of that sedative drug. Consultant psychiatrist dr.John was on leave that time, and without his consultation in person, they started Antipsycotic medications for him and they referred my dad to Nair’s hospital in vytilla bypass.Psychiatrist there after the thorough examination of my dads higher mental functions, they told us that he doesnt have any psychiatry problem and it may be just an acute psychosis related with his high grade fever. From there they reffered him to Lourdes Hospital, where also he was treated by the neurologist Dr.Bobby in icu for rare disease he called it paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis without any blood or mri scan evidence he started treatment on IV STEROIDS and blood test sent to U.K oxford came all Negative. He withdrawn steroids suddenly one day and my dads condition became very critical and later he was referred to medical trust,Later as he developed aspiration pneumonia and was treated on ventilator after doing tracheostomy surgery in icu for more than 1 month, and more dangerous antibiotic resistent klebsiella, pseudomonas etc entered his body ie ventilator associated pneumonia as well due to misuse of costly antibiotics. For this which thosee ppl treated with high end carbapenam and tigecycline antibiotics and Iv Ig antibody which cost in lacs and worst thing is those bacterias are even resistent to these costly antibiotics but these bacterias got killed by simple antibiotics later.
Meanwhile during his treatment HE HAD RECIEVED 18 BOTTLES OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION SINCE HE DEVELOPED SEVERE ANEMIA AND LOW PLATELET COUNT AND ON ONE DAY WHEN MY MOTHER ENTERED ICU TO SEE MY DAD AT 5 PM, HIS BED SHEET WAS FULLY SOAKED IN BLOOD… SHE WAS FULLY SHOCKED SEEING THIS… IT HAPPENS ONLY BECAUSE OF INATTENTION AND LACK OF CARE OF ICU STAFF AND DOCTOR THERE ON DUTY.. MY DADS IV CANNULA CAP WAS REMOVED AND BLOOD LEAKED OUT OF HIS VEIN… MY DAD WAS SOAKED IN HIS BLOOD. IF HE WAS LEFT UNNOTICED HE FATE WOULD HAVE BEEN A GRAVE… NOW MY DAD GOT DISCHARGED WITH A BILL OF AROUND 15LACS RS TOTAL HOSPITAL EXPENSE AND NOW HE IS RECOVERING, BUT THE BAD PART IS THAT THE PERSON WHO WALKED AND WENT TO THIS HOSPITAL JUST WITH FEVER, CAME OUT AS A DISABLED PERSON WHO CANT DO HIS DAILY ROUTINE ACTIVITY HIS OWN WITHOUT A SUPPORT AND ALSO HE LOST HIS ORIGINAL VOICE IN ITS LOUDNESS….. IAM SO SAD BECOZ THIS HAPPENED TO MY DAD, BUT AS A DOCTOR, TODAY IAM MAKING A PLEDGE THAT I WILL FIGHT AGAINST THIS MEDICAL CORRUPTION HAPPENING IN OUR PLACE AND WILL TRY TO SAVE POOR PATIENTS WHO ARE BEING VICTIMS OF THIS INJUSTICE….
