Hospital

Can't really understand how I should structure this one as my thoughts are just pouring out randomly through my fingers; so fast that my typing skills are not matching its speed.

Well, let me try and make some sense here with a short note. How many of us have been to see a doctor in big hospitals? What do you like in a hospital where you go to find the state of one self? How do you like to be treated? Alright Alright, let me not get into stating obvious things.

So here's one of the big hospital I recently went to and here is my list of complaints. This time I will not hesitate to state the obvious: The amount of land and the built in area it owns is awesome, what’s even more amazing is the lovely gardens’ and the fountains it showcases. Yup showcases, I couldn’t find a better word than this which demonstrates the capacity at which the hospitality is rendered. I cannot help but compare this hospital to any person that beautifies one's outer self by marketing with good dressing but whose thinking patterns are cheaper than rotten tomatoes.

Firstly, the lift.. It's so awful to see the patients waiting so patiently for their turn to get into the lift where only one out of three cars work and rarely two out of three. And the most interesting part is that if you choose to walk up, the doors to the stairs are locked. I’m truly amazed with the creative ideas people and institutes come up with to make life as inconvenient as possible to the people there.

The amazing private and super private rooms, those are only for the people who have enough in their pockets to spend lavishly for a medical treatment and definitely a known name makes a big difference. Ah! Amongst many more hurdles caused the only thing I look forward to, is the floral decoration that is changed every morning.

And where does all the room rent I pay go? What percentage to who’s pocket?

Well, this institute is like a political weather cock, that not only moves in the direction of the political wave but also emphasis to influence their hidden agenda on the students to exercise their democratic right to vote in this direction of the wind. If this basic right is being dictated, I’m sure there is much more to the administration than what meets the eye.

Ha! Does this all sound loosely cryptic? Maybe not, however this was just one experience with one of the so called big hospital and I'm sure there are many more to make their entry to this list and top the chart.

I don't blame any headers of such places but the people; who let them have the place they are in. Like many other root causes of issues, this also follows the bandwagon of the reasons that demonstrates the human's love for oneself that stands higher than the larger cause.

Well I have a long running list of complaints but I'm realizing that I am already getting bored to write my mind out about this place. I know it’s not going to lead to any good way except a lesson to myself that if I were to be in a position to execute a job like this I will need to have the basic facility maintained and have a transparent administration without loosing the focus of the purpose the body I work for.
