[I dunno whether this is true or just a rumour. :confused: :confused: But they hv given all the names & etc. This is written by an Indian.My friend emailed this to me. So I thought I should share this with u guys. :yes:
This is not some sort of joke or rumors. Real two crimes taken place in Apollo Hospitals in India & Sri Lanka. Read all. All names & contact details are given. You can check.
Be careful of these BLOOD SUCKERS.............:growl: :growl:
Here are the details of an unfortunate incident that had taken place in
Apollo Hospital , Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad , Andhra Pradesh , India ..
A boy named Rahul(20) who was doing his engineering IIIrd year from
Karshak Engineering College was suffering from high fever and was
admitted to the Apollo hospital on Sunday, October 29th, 2006, in the
evening. The doctors said that the case was serious and admitted the boy
in the ICU which was closed from all sides. No one could see what was
happening inside.
At around 9 'o' clock Rahul called his father and told him that the
doctors were talking about removing the kidneys from his body and hence
he wanted them to take him away from there but since his father was from
a small village, he thought the boy was scared and so the father took no
action.
In the night, the doctors at Apollo Hospital removed both the kidneys
from Rahul's body and killed the boy.:( :( :( :( :( The next day, i.e. on Monday when
the case came to light, the students of Karshak college made a big issue
and called the press from all over India because the police was not
letting them go inside the hospital. When the police saw the press, they
let the students in.
On seeing the body, the students could see stiches on both the sides of
the body just above abdomen that clearly proved that the kidneys were
removed. But the doctors somehow got hold of the boy's uncle and offered
him big money to end the case there. The Greedy Uncle agreed and took
the boys body back home and burned the body leaving behind no proof for
the students to prove that the kidneys were stolen. Rahul's family was
in a shock and not in senses and hence did not want to do anything.
Now its in the hands of we, the people of India , to decide whether we
want to forget the matter or spread the message and prevent more of such
cases from happening.
Please spread the word so that people can be saved from more of such
cases.
AND FURTHER ANOTHER INCIDENT HAPPEND AT APPOLO HOSPITAL IN SRI LANKA COLOMBO............................. :confused: :confused: :(

This came to me from a Sri Lankan friend inAustralia.
I was under the impression that the opening of this hospital was a good
thing fro Sri Lanka, but it looks like the same thing that's happening
all over the world. People are so greedy they don't care how they make
money.
Guys, these people think they can do anything in Sri Lanka. Also, they
think Sri Lankans are dumb. How could they act like this, after being
totally at fault. They are demons in the guise of god "Apollo"
This is the story of a hospital management, which does not care a hoot
for medical ethics or patient care.
To Apollo Hospital, Colombo, what matters is ``wallet biopsy,'' since
fleecing the public is their unwritten motto. The management even has
the brazenness to charge from patients for tests, which have never been
done.
The latest victim of Apollo's unscrupulousness is my husband Channa de
Costa, an executive of a leading multinational company. He was admitted
to this so-called hospital on July 6, 2006 with a history of acute cough
and cold, chest tightness followed by breathing difficulty. After we
consulted Dr. Praveen Gupta - Pulmonologist - the patient was given bed
No.6006.
He
was discharged on July 8, after two days of treatment.
Before his discharge, on July 7, blood samples were taken from him for
various tests. But none of these were given even on the day he was
discharged. At the time of his discharge the ward nurse mentioned that
the test results would be available for collection only on July 9 and
the filarial antibody tests would be available in a week's time.
However on July 10, as Channa was again experiencing chest tightness, I
phoned the Apollo Hospital and made an appointment to see Dr. Gupta. I
showed him the medicine, which the hospital nurse had given the patient
on the doctor's prescription. I did it merely to cross check whether the
hospital had given my husband the correct drugs since we were not sure
whether the nurse had made a mistake. Dr. Gupta's not-so-polite response
was that he was only a consultant and it was not a part of his job to
check the medicines (even though he had prescribed them). He told us to
go to a pharmacy to check the medicines. His consultancy fee per visit
is Rs.1000!
Since my husband was continuously complaining about his chest tightness,
we then consulted a cardiologist, Dr. Tripti Dep who wanted me to
collect his blood reports, which were supposed to be ready for
collection on July 9. The doctor said that she could not proceed without
the reports.
However at the collection counter we were told that they had received no
such reports from the laboratory and wanted me to return the next day
(July 11) with my husband. This information totally contradicted what
the ward nurse told us at the time the patient was discharged from
hospital.
After I mentioned this fact,
the staff at the collection counter crosschecked with the hospital
laboratory and found that it had received no such blood samples from the
relevant ward on July 7th. Thereafter the Executive Operation (bearing
employment No.1820) Ms. Vedavathi wanted my husband to give fresh blood
samples and assured us that she would do the tests within 30 minutes,
whereas earlier we were told that such tests needed more than three
days.
When we complained to the hospital's Assistant Vice President Dr. Rana
Mehta, Nursing Director Ms. Costa and the Matron, their response was
that Dr. Praveen Gupta had never prescribed the taking of blood samples
(even though it has been originally prescribed by him), which Dr. Tripti
wanted to be taken. The three of them claimed that the whole matter was
a technical error on the part of the nurse on duty at the time. However
when we asked them to give this answer in writing they refused to do so.
To add insult to injury Mrs Costa (Director Nursing) has already billed
us for the missing blood samples too, despite our pleas to which she
responded with foul language. When we were leaving they shouted, ``you
go to town and shout at us but it will have no effect on our hospital!''
This whole episode is clear proof that this `hospital' has a nursing
staff, which has not received even basic training.
We have already made a complaint to the Narahenpita Police on this
matter.
In Greek mythology Apollo is a god. But in this supposed hospital it
means demons!:growl: :growl:
