Opinion Differs

I was once a frequent visitor to Apollo hospitals,greams road,chennai for I had to accompany my parents to consult haematologist and heart specialist.First I was actually diffident about apollo because of the rumours that were aired around.But truly speaking, their service is excellent and of course u need to put up with the bill u get at last.One day I was at the bill counter to pay for my dad's blood test.I was so surprised to see most people paying 4k-6k Rs for tests.But at last, I had to pay 12k Rs!!!!But now a days almost all hospitals charge heavily no matter how big or small they are. This week when me and selva had gone to visit an ENT speacilist in a small clinic @ velachery ,he charged 250 Rs for just two mins consultation!!!.A heart specialist consultation fee @ Apollo is 400 Rs for about half an hour consultation.Not a big diff u can see right.I cant really forget two doctors for rest of my life @apollo ; Dr.Bharadwaj,Haematologist who correctly identified symptoms and at the right time prevented blood cancer in my dad and Dr.Rajeshwari Nayak who turned out the critical situation into normal one when my mom was admitted there due to mitral valve shrinkage.Now the situ is almost fine.

I had gone there last week for follow up consultation with my parents. All is well but i find one thing that is odd there.U can see a man welcoming u with a smile similar to anjappar hotel style.I don't know if its right or wrong but I had felt it insignificant and sometimes irking, esp when I had entered the hospital with a frustrated mind.Of course yes ,opinion differs.
