TRUSTWORTHY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

Medical profession in India has transformed over time, from being a noble one to a highly commercial and money spinning profession with a steep decline in Professional ETHICS. Corporatization of medical services since last three decades, Government’s half baked and porous medical schemes and success of Medical insurance schemes have rapidly accelerated commercialism and decelerated professional ethics.

Nevertheless, these developments have unfortunately led to a considerable loss of faith for the patients in the medical professionals and are becoming victims, of their loss of faith, by resorting to Self-medication, neglect of malignant ailments, reposing faith in un-proven medical practices and inefficient self professed, unqualified practitioners etc.

Recently, I had to endure a few un-explicable as well as physically damaging medical experiences ranging from wrong treatment to an avoidable surgical procedure due to limited information, available with me, to identify the trustworthy medical professionals. Some of my acquaintances and friends were even victims of wrong diagnosis, which is paramount to a accurate treatment.

Hence, I am endeavouring to maintain a data base of medical professionals, in the public domain, who will be certified by fellow bloggers and visitors, of meeting the following parameters:

a.      Good professional integrity and commitment.
b.      Diagnosis capabilities and accessibility.
c.      Respect for customers/ patients and value for their time.
d.      Minimal Indirect costs (Costs towards Invasive procedures, Laboratory and other medical tests, hospitalisation costs, references hitherto etc.) to which the customers/ patients will be subject to during the treatment phase vis-a-vis Direct costs. High Direct costs (Consultancy fee of the doctor) are most welcome, as professionals needs to be compensated for their expertise.

The following is a concise list of medical professionals, meeting the above parameters, based on my personal experiences and feedback from my friends and acquaintances.

a.  Dr. P.V.Ramachandra Raju, MD.,DM (Cardiology), Consultant cardiologist, STAR hospitals, Hyderabad.

b.  Dr. S.Thanikachalam, MD.,DM (Cardiology), Consultant cardiologist, Anna Nagar, Chennai.

c.  Dr. Anil Kumar Cherukuri, MRCP, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Near Model house, Panjagutta, Hyderabad.

d. Dr. P.Narasimha Rao. MD.,DD.,PHD., Consulting Dermatologist, Masab Tank, Hyderabad.

I welcome my fellow bloggers and visitors to suggest the details of medical professionals who meet the above parameters.
