Hi, We went to Mallaya Hospital on 29-June-13 to get a blood test conducted for my daughter (Saanchi Duggal). Our paediatrician (Dr. Vasanth Shetty non-Mallaya hospital dr) asked us to do and get the test conducted from Mallaya Hospital.
Once we reach the hospital and finished all the registration/payment process the nurses at collection centre asked us to go to the casualty centre and contact the on duty doctor to take the sample. They asked us to do that since our baby was 6 months old.
Once we reached the casualty ward and after waiting for 20-30mins, a pediatrician doctor came from Dr. Ratna's team and told that he can';t collect blood sample as we are not showing to the pediatrician of Dr. Mallaya Hospital.
He was very rude to tell us that he can't do lab service of collecting blood samples for other doctors without getting paid. Moreover he said that its very annoying to take blood samples of small babies, really shocking to hear this from a pediatrician.
We asked us that how much we should pay him to get the samples collected, he told us my fees is INR 400. We were ready to pay that extra over and above the charges for blood tests.
After that he told that we have to go stand in the queue and get a file made , show it to an internal doctor before he could take blood samples.
This is really very cold and rude behavior by a doctor. Our daughter was asked to get the blood test done as she was suspected of Dengue and this test were urgent. We lost almost 2-3 hr in this whole ordeal and finally went to Columbia Asia hospital to get the blood test done.
I want complaint to be filed against this Doctor and hospital for such a rude and unprofessional behavior.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
