I am
greatly disappointed with the uncaring services rendered by some Hospitals in
Shillong. About two months ago, my cousin sister who had a prolonged ear
ailment approached Civil Hospital Shillong for remediation (My cousin hails
from a very remote village and earns her living as an hourly-wage domestic
worker in Shillong) The Doctor declared that her ear-drum was damaged and
broken, moreover judging from her outlook the Doctor consulted her that it
would get cured in a matter of times by his prescribed medicines. I am not a
medical doctor but as far as I know in this type of case nothing can cure
except going through operation, she later went to Woodland Hospital where she
was explained as per measure of the sickness. The operation would cost Rs.
14000 and her poor parents who live from hands to mouth took her to NEIGRIHMS
Hospital where it was done with a minimal expense, thanks to these two
Hospitals. Another incident is that yesterday my cousin brother was declared to
have suffered from Tuberculosis (TB) by the Dr. H. Gordon Roberts Hospital, Shillong
popularly known as Roberts Hospital. His ailment increasingly becomes critical,
his swollen legs and agony chest worsen him. Though the Doctor affirmed him of
having three major aching portions in his chest refused to admit and
hospitalise him, he only prescribed him some medicines and advice to reappear
in Hospital after every two weeks. Tuberculosis is a dreaded decease and not to
play with. Did this Hospital discriminate my cousin just because he speaks
Maram dialect? How many poor and underprivileged villagers lost their lives due
to these deceitful Hospitals? The poor has suffered a lot of Injustice, Human
Rights Violation, and other social evils but who cares for them? I plea to the
concern authority to correct the vices, and utmost to the Government and
Pressure groups to conduct timely inspections or other remedies to
pseudo-hospitals as to bring justice to all sections of the people in the
State.
