Dear Friends
REAL LIFE (rather good) EXPERIENCE-LIFELINE HOSPITAL CHENNAI.
Life line Hospital saved my Cousin from the grip of death.
I am shocked to see such a blog against lifeline and Dr.Rajkumar.
My cousin Master Saran Prasad.
A year back he had spells of giddiness and severe headache. Local Doctors were treating him symptomatically. One day all of sudden while he was playing he fainted and rushed to one of the big hospital in Salem. They did all investigation and diagnosed as tumour from the adrenal glad which is situated above kidney. The whole family was depressed and we took him to one of the pioneer cancer institute in Chennai. They again did all investigations and finally suggested surgery and said survival is poor and its high risk procedure.
Team of doctors opened his abdomen and they were shocked to see that the cancer tumour has extended and further continuing surgery may result in death on the table.
So the procedure was abandoned. Doctors informed us that he will survive only for few weeks. The whole family was sad and my cousin also knows that he will die shortly. We came to know the surgical skill of Dr.Rajkumar and we took a chance and visited Lifeline which is nearby.
After detailed examination and going through all the reports he said there is a chance to save my cousin.
He and his team did meticulous job and removed tumour completely. It was a second birth for my cousin. Now, he is living happily which he wouldn’t have got but for Dr.Rajkumar and Lifeline. So it is really agonizing to see such blind accusations against a doctor who saved life of a young boy and many others. Many good events by Doctors are not recognized but one unfortunate event which is quiet acceptable in medical practice has been blown out of proportion.
This may set a dangerous precedence where even a minor complication may be blown out of proportion which I am sure it will have a negative Doctor patient relationship.

My name is Chithra. I am a municipal councillor from Mogappair ( west). I feel sorry for the guy . Although i have heard similar incidents, I have a lot of faith in DR JS Rajkumar from a personal experience. Infact we had good experience twice involving major cancer operations.My mother Saraswathi was operated upon by Dr JS Rajkumar at Rigid hospital 9 years ago for a cancer in the food pipe involving the lower part near the stomach. We consulted many surgeons before going to DR Rajkumar . Those doctors dilly dallyed a lot and were referring to many other places for investigations,tests, CT scan etc. nobody could give us a guarantee about the success of the operation.We were happy to find everything under one roof at Rigid hospital as my mother could not travel much and they got her ready for the operation very quickly. our duration of further waiting and anxiety was shortened.We explained our situation to the billing department that we may not be able to pay mucn as we had already spent a lot. They said dr had already told them to reduce the package as my mother was suffering for quite some time. The operation went on smoothly. Dr removed the lower part of food pipe and upper part of stomach and re joined it. After the operation my mother could not eat for some time. we were all worried about the tube in her nose. slowly the swelling in her stomach came down and she was given water. she stayed in hospital for two weeks. at one stage dr said we may consider operating again if the swelling did not reduce. but it reduced with monitoring after a few days. By god's grace she was fine eating normally and put on weight. we were all happy. Dr further reduced our bill when we went home at our request. we regularly went to him for follow up for some time and then stopped. this year after 9 years we found that my mother had cancer in the mouth and it had spread to her neck ( lymph node). many of our well wishers and family friends said we had to go to cancer specialist. so we visited 2 specialists. both were good surgeons who said the old cancer had not recurred and this was a new cancer.but they were afraid to operate on her as due to her advancing age ( she is above 60 now). my mother lost faith and refused to see any doctors and the surgery. a doctor who is a surgeon himself near my house in mogappair suggested we go back to dr rajkumar to take an opinion as dr rajkumar was being invited internationally to demonstrate surgeries.. we met him at his new hospital at perungudi . dr rajkumar remembered my mother's name and was upset to know she had another cancer. the operation would be complex he explained and required long operation to remove the cancer both from the mouth and the neck.only sir could convince my mother easily for the operation. the operation took 4 hours. the cancer was removed from both places and a temporary plate was placed in the mouth to cover the hole after taking the cancer out. after some time it was removed once the hole closed. she is on follow up with the medical cance specialist and doing well.(touch wood). we know that dr goes to both rigid and lifeline nowadays. he is a busy man because so many patients come to him from all over India and abroad for help. it was difficult to meet him many times . so when we used to phone him he used to come and visit at night 1130 , twelve etc to see my mother after finishing his evening consultation. once we explained that we may not afford the operation and asked him to do the operation in 2 stages - one for the mouth and another for the neck. he said he cannot compromise care. so he did both stages in one setting ( 4 hours ) for same charge. for a few days he went abroad after my mother's operaion during which time his assistant doctors took good care of my mother and got opinions from sir over phone.
I have also heard of bad stories about sir. I do not know how it happened.but still went to him. I really feel sorry for their relatives. trusting a doctor comes only with experience. we have good experiences twice involving high risk complicated operations with good result.let god be with mr durai in his moments of despair.
I do hope people do not delay their treatment with doctors because of negative reports but only think carefully and do what suits them best. Our family still has trust in Dr Rajkumar because he saved m y mother's life twice. I will leave it at that.

Dear all,
As some of you say......We cannot blame the doctor, may be the victim would have forced him to carryon the operation immediately, so that he can leave for UK........Its all a part of negligence on both the sides....Atleast in future, letz take it as a lesson and not create a negative impact on the doctor, instead........be aware of healthcare and medical facilities......

Dear June, Kindly accept my deepest condolences. It is really inhuman on the part of the doctors and the hospital management to play with the life of the patient for money. Rameshbala

I think its high time for us to take a action, doctors are no longer life saver, they are meant only to fill their pockets.

Words are insufficient for this trauma. Your shearing is also greatly appreciable for the awareness of others. This thing is still happening around us. Same un humanistic behavior of some doctors, same money sucking tendency of private hospital and nursing home, same heartless activities of stuff and worker. Think of them who are not able to bear the highly charges of this kind of private hospital & nursing home and go for some government hospital..
But friend only shearing this throbbing experience will not bring any changes. As some friend advised, please take some legal step, try to complain in human right, RTI (Right to Information Act –India), consumer forum etc. at least all of our positive action and concern can only stop this crime which is still being happen in every day.
Thanx..

That's really very sad. These Indian doctors are just worthless.
Something similar also happened with my friend's 14 year old sister. The doctor could not even diagnosed her problem properly. She was just having fever and they were unable to figure out the reason. I just dpn't understand how they are getting their degrees without any knowledge.
RIP Padma.
