Open letter to our Health Minister Mr. Laxmikant Parsenkar Sub : GMC distressed patient Prabakar Shirkey, Maharastrian from Ratnaguiri admitted in Ward 139 (Neurology Ward) and Bed 23.
Hon Minister of Health, You are aware by now that the patient was admitted by us ( Stephen Dias, D.Paula and Joe de Sousa a social worker from Ucasasim -Aldona), in the GMC ward No 139 and Bed 23 is been reported by your doctors that he is suffering from TB and is likely to be shifted to TB Hospital, St Ines once all the papers and tests are completed. Fine, I fully support and give you a credit for the GMC Doctors and nurses for taking all the care of this patient Prabakar Shirkey. Although I was told by one of the senior nurse that this man is adamant and disobedient and aggressive but still these nurses and servants are been doing a good job. Now the question comes, that the stools which he passes on the bed does not allow the servants to clear it and hence they have suggested me to buy pampers from a pharmacy. I have a question to Health Minister why these items are not available in GMC for the poor patients and those who are in distress? I was told by the same nurse on condition of anonymity that certain patients are supplied costly medicines around Rs. one lack worth. Why there should be different set of rules for different patients? Please see that all the patients are given the same treatment especially the poor ones. I have noticed that there are few patients already admitted and lying on the floor for treatment and I really appreciate your generosity on that grounds. Attached are the few photos which you may have a look. 4 Attachments 100_0380.JPG 100_0381.JPG 100_0382.JPG 100_0383.JPG
