I left Hyderabad 15 years back,and I am settled abroad,like every Indian I want to be proud of my mother land and native place but they are some unusaul events happened in my last three visits to Hyderabad which compels me not be as proud as others .I feel it like a nightmare the experiences which I encoutered,firstly,the rotten administration of home ministry which cannot be fumigate ever,still excisting with the growth of internal parasites which has decayed the system of our community,whoever it may be ,either a traffic cop or from any crime branch,you can be excused in exchange of as least as 20 bugs.
Then comes the private nursing homes which stakes with human lifes by employing newly graduated doctors who lacks of experience and ready to work for them at a cometetive amount of salary . My story starts here ... my wife was admitted as an emergency maternity case due to palcenta rupture two days earlier the due date around 2.00 am as the flow was increasing and the baby was lacking oxygen inside it was supposed to call the duty doctor and operate immediately.... the doctor on duty was still new and joined the nursng home two days before....repeatedly begging them to do the needful....the answer was \" BADE DOCTOR SAAB WILL COME IN THE MORNING AND SEE \" [and their morning starts by 10 am ] it was my first experience to be a father and there wasn\'t any one to guide me,no option left for me then,at last the doctor arrived by half passed nine[9.30 am]and operated the case and I became a father of a baby girl and by the grace of God baby was in good health as conerned the pulse rate and weight every thing was normal,after two months we were ack abroad. Eventually as my daughter grows we parents noticed after three years that she is not adapting the speech ,her vocabulary was limited to a couple of words which every childs starts with [ie;Mama and Daddy]...now the worries has started as my daughter was growing ....I was sugessted to consult a paedriatician[child specialist]who reffered to the child psychologist and where my child was diagnosed as an \'AUSTISTIC\'child. Initially it is diffucult to accept for any father like me to know about his long awaited and blessed child to be having such problem which have never been known generally,but lately I have to realise the fact,certain blood test were done in Germany,started the speech therapy,beaviour therapy and communication which needs a hell of patience for parents,now my daughter is around seven and improving by the grace of Almighty getting in distinction in her school reports ,for all my sufferings throughout the span whome should I curse?... and who will pay for that medical negligence?....obviously such kind of so called doctors who has exploited their profeesion ,a street beggar is more respectful than these tycoons who stakes human lives in hidden way to whom we blindly trust as \" Doctors\"........my pain and sorrows will be extended to me itself,but if any of the doctors get moral from my text and if any would be parents are alarmed by my experiences ,I think my mission is accomplished .
