Fortis Noida

It is not a queue at the bus stand but at the Fortis hospital Noida to make the payment for consulting the doctors in the OPD. The queue is longer than it looks like in the picture. It goes further and then takes a U-turn :) And they don't charge you less by any standard. There are two reasons people live with this non-sense.




1. The number of doctors/hospitals in the Noida/Ghaziabad area is much less as compared to the population in these areas.


2. For some reason, people in India have deep respect for the doctors. They will not challenge them, not question them even though they pay such a hefty consulting fee.

UP police...the bigger problem in UP

People driving on the wrong side of the road is a common problem in noida, ghaziabad. But it can not be fixed.
Why? cause no body cares. No body protests. Police does not care. Infact, you will find police vans/jeeps driving/parked on the wrong side of the road.

How do you fix a problem when the people who are entrusted with the job of fixing are part of the problem.

Dont become a slave to the rat race

Read this article. http://moneyning.com/money-beliefs/dont-become-a-slave-to-the-rat-race/
Most of us can relate our life with this story. It is a typical story with everyone. You dont have a house, you buy one with debt and then work hard to repay the debt. You work harder to get promoted so that you can earn more and pay off the debt.

If you already own a house, you want a second one (a bigger one) not because you need it. You buy it because you want to show it to others. You want to show to others that you are ahead in the race. It goes on and on. We keep buying assets but forget all the time that its people not assets which are important.

Assets (more than what you need ) will not give you a peaceful and happy life.

my experience at Fortis Hospital Noida

Last month, I had a very bad experience at Fortis Hospital Noida.

I had gone there for a medical test. I gave my car keys to the valet and when I came back they could not find my keys. I was made to run here and there for an hour looking for the keys without any luck.

I raised this issue with some Chhaya from Patient Services department. She was very polite, listened to me patiently and tried to help find the keys, but no luck.

The matter took an ugly turn when Bhaskar Sharma, GM of Fortis Noida entered the scene. He asked my contact details which I promptly gave him. He asked me to wait for some more time. I told him that I was already very late for the office and need to rush back. I was planning to go home and get another set of keys. I told him, if he finds the keys, he should send it at my address and asked him if he can provide a letter of apology. He refused to do that. He very clearly said that he will not apologize. He was not even verbally apologetic. I told him that in that case there was nothing else to talk about. He came after me shouting in the corridor, challenging me to do anything I can do about it.

This guy was outrageously rude, ill mannered and lacked basic etiquettes.

I raised this issue with the Dr. Ashok V Chordiya, head of Fortis Hospital Noida. He apologized and promised to look into the matter.

And next day, I got a call from the head of security, Fortis, saying that they have found the keys and he came to my office to give me the keys.

At the end, I am happy I got the keys back but I am still shocked how unprofessional the staff of the hospital is. Bhaskar Sharma, I found his profile at linkedin.

He is a MBA..I am not surprised to see that. All he knew was talk, talk and talk. His profile says that he is a specialist in managing customer environment! What a joke..:)

long weekend

enjoying the long weekend.....complete rest........
