Dr Dharmesh Kapoor - Though he is a physician, he starts up recommending transplantation.
In our case, he recommended the same and said we have only 3 days time for liver transplantation. As we don't find a suitable donor in our family we searched in our extended family and luckily we found one, who is willing to save the life. Immediately the donor related medical examinations are conducted and he was found fit for the cause.
Later the Hospital team gave a paperwork to be completed. And immediately they said, as it is an emergency, we shall request the Director of Medical Education(DME), Telangana for emergency permission and the DME gave the permission with a condition. The Hospital once again insisted us to complete the entire paper work. And said it is essential. We inquired Dr Dharmesh - whether we have the time or not and as he assured, we proceeded and completed the entire paper work in a day. And once Dr Dharmesh as asked us to approach DME for fresh permission. Once again we asked for the status of the patient. He said the patient is quite well and they are monitoring the condition of the patient with expert panel and he is sure about it. And said he knows there is an emergency meeting going at DME and kindly peruse the permission with them and obtain. In meantime we deposited the amount as demanded by the hospital for the operation.
We went to DME Office, and surprisingly DME says he has given clearance for the transplantation and don't need any fresh letter and at the same time Dr Dharmesh has announced the patient is brain dead in the Hospital.
We immediately rushed to the hospital and he said if we would have obtained the permission from DME a day back and would have done with operation and the patient would have been alive.
We asked him to give in writing that they couldn't do the operation because of unclear permission given by DME and when we insisted, the hospital management has returned back the amount paid towards ICU charges and treatment done till that time along with the deposit amount paid towards Liver Transplantation. We want the patient back not the money.
Dr Dharmesh Kapoor is just not rude but looks at the patient in business approach, no way matches to the quality of being a doctor.
