Do not take your loved ones to this slaughter house. I would never ever recommend anyone to take their loved ones to this place. I have lost my mother in 2013, died at the age of 46 because of this over-confident and extremely good at brain-washing ‘Dr. Joseph John who used to be head of Hematology & Oncology department at that time.
I'd say for doctors like Joseph, patients are like rats to perform experiments. We were also seeing another oncology doctor Dr. Sekhon at that time for second advice. As per his judgement, my mother could have easily survived for another 5-10 years on Chemo. Unfortunately, because of advice of this greedy inexperienced doctor who claimed there is .01% life-risk only in getting bone-marrow transplant from him at CMC, she was gone after a lot of suffering and pain within a month. He played with our minds by making false claims and promises ‘everything he was doing was to make us say YES for transplant. By the end of all this ‘we paid somewhere around 20 Lakh INR, which was 3 times the estimated cost for the surgery provided at first place. Reason he mentioned behind unsuccessful transplant was side effects, kidney failure and body didn’t react as expected etc. all that expected crap to cover his failure. At the time I took my mother there ‘she was able to walk with no support and her cancer was normalizing with Chemo therapies. Even his own hospital did all the tests before, and declared her fit for surgery. Not most, ALL organs were in good shape.
Before saying yes, we asked him what is the success rate and can we have the stats of how many transplants done by him have been successful in the past, and he said he can't share it because of hospital’s policy but it’s around 49 out 50 patients survived. But what we saw while we were there ‘it was totally opposite in contrast to what he claimed. Three transplants he did including ours were unsuccessful during our month and half stay at the hospital.
We know how we're going to spend rest of our life knowing that ‘this was the worst decision of our life. I hope whosoever reading this, could save their loved ones by not going to this hospital especially Dr. Joseph John. Would not even call him a doctor, would rather him a butcher who got no feelings and no respect for his patients.
