‘Doctor’ or ‘Lady Don’ in Medanta Hospital? Serious allegations of misbehavior and illegal extortion in the name of treatment

A very shocking news is coming out from the prestigious Medanta Hospital of Lucknow, which has shaken the confidence of the medical world and the patients. Hospital doctor Shefali has been facing serious allegations of misbehaving with patients, assault and negligence in treatment. The surprising thing is that the management is sitting silent even after knowing everything, due to which big questions are being raised on the functioning of the hospital. Abusing the patients and ‘Lady Don’ like behaviour. The victims who came to the hospital for treatment say that the behavior of Dr. Shefali is not at all like that of a serious doctor. It is alleged that they do not talk directly to the patients and when any patient or their family members ask legitimate questions related to the treatment, the doctors resort to assault and abuse. Local people and patients have now started calling her ‘Lady Don’. The limit was reached when it came to light that many times she insisted on treating patients without giving written prescription, which is a direct violation of the rules. The role of the management of Medanta Hospital in this entire matter also appears to be suspicious. The complainants claim that whenever a complaint about Dr. Shefali’s misbehavior is made to the higher authorities, the management shirks it off by merely giving assurances. Many times the management even said that they would relieve Dr. Shefali from service, but even after weeks, no concrete action was taken against her. It seems that the hospital administration is ready to go to any extent to hide its shortcomings. Complaints of illegal extortion and looting in the name of treatment, Medanta Hospital is being accused not only of bad behavior but also of financial exploitation. According to sources, news of extortion from patients in the hospital is making headlines every day. The surprising thing is that many times, despite the serious condition of the patient, priority is given to charging huge amounts in the name of treatment. What is the inner reality has not been fully revealed yet, but the increasing anger of the patients has given sleepless nights to the administration. Can having a big brand name put the dignity and rights of patients at stake? This is a great question.
