Re: The scam era...of today: Unpublished examples

Hello Dr Shyam,

 

Its good to read your mails after a long gap.

 

I don't believe those figures which put India in 87th position in the list of

corrupt nations.I believe we are on a much higher rank actually.

Every Government servant I met in the last 5 or 6 year was corrupt and

blatantly demanded money.

Example: its common knowledge that MB BS seats at Rohtak and Safdarjung Medical

Colleges are auctioned openly a day before the result of the entrance exam is

declared. One of my friends showed me an SMS on his phone which went something

like this:

" Assured MBBS seats in Safdarjung, only for Rs 25 Lakhs. Contact till 6 pm

tomorrow. "

 

This SMS was received two days before the result of the Entrance Exam for which

his daughter had appeared was to be announced.

 

Another example:

 

Fortis Healthcare's tender was approved by the Govt of Delhi for running an

ambulance fleet in Delhi and the service was to start before Commonwealth Games.

Fortis made a fleet of about 150 ambulances but the Govt denied permission to

operationalise, citing deficiencies in the purchased ambulances. The real reason

was this: Delhi Health Minister had demanded a bribe of Rs 10 crores which was

denied. They negotiated but she did not relent and the project was shelved. CWG

happened without an organised ambulance service, Delhi continues to be

disorganised in its Emergency Medical Response Services and the ambulance Fleet

purchased by Fortis is rotting away in some obscure location in Delhi. The same

ambulances were inspected by the Health Minister herself and approval was given

on the standards and quality.

 

I know this because the person who was heading this project in Fortis Healthcare

is an Orthopaedic Surgeon with am MBA and is close friend.

 

I think our country has gone down the drain because of our political class.

 Regards

Balvinder Rana 87

That's a truly gr8 poem SP sir !! Vinchurkar

Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device

Kishore bhai, jug jug jio!

This is about a doctor who practices Ob Gy

He subscribes to hearty laughs and not to cribs or a cry

When everybody is busy asking him- when, where, and why

Kishore Is not depressed, his spirits are sky high!

In the ICU, his son was reading him " get well soon " mails

But his mind was elsewhere-  eyeing some beautiful females

He quickly adapted his new role- that of a patient-doctor

And  refused to get alarmed  by the waves on the monitor

Nothing could depress him, not even a depressed ST

Nor an abnormally high  heart protein called Trop T

" This is so tasty, " he admired the home-made tea

Thank God, he complimented me, thought his wife-ENT

The ICU residents were counting, every hour,  his pulse

And his wife was tightening the strings of her purse

But for Kishore, being in an ICU was not a god-inflicted curse

His chest was heaving- was it because of a Kerala nurse?

He endured few razor cuts- on either side, below the belt

This is worse, he thought, than the pain in my chest

And as he was wheeled in the cath lab in a haste

His loved ones and relatives wished him- " All the best "

Amidst strangers in a cold room, he laid bare

And had no idea- who, when and where

A cut, a push, a thrust, a balloon and a stent

And soon his heart malady became a past incident

Kishore, you showed that laughter is the best panacea

Which takes care of all queries- kyon, kab, kaise hua

Now that your arteries are open, thanks to a good angio-

May we all wish you- Kishore bhai, jug jug jio!
