LUCKNOW: An apron-clad person with a stethoscope dangling around his neck need not be a doctor, at least in Balrampur hospital. Crooks and touts don this attire to fleece patients and their attendants here.
These cheats fake as interns medicos. They go around the wards, examine patients and build a rapport with attendants. The real game starts after winning the confidence of the patients and attendants.
Attendants are conned into buying costly medicines, getting a useless diagnostic test done or even getting the patient shifted to a private nursing home. These fake doctors get into their act when the real ones are not around. In the late hours they have a free field and a fair chance of a'successful operation'.
Medical superintendent, Dr DP Mishra says,"This issue is of grave concern as four touts have been found operating in the hospital in the past six months." An attendant Ashraf fell in the trap of a fake doctor on the night of September 2/3 - a weekend. His grandmother was having breathing problems.
He rushed to find a doctor and bumped into one who identified him as an intern Hasan Rizwi. After examining his grandmother,'Dr Hasan' told Ashraf to get certain medicines urgently from a particular medical store located outside the hospital. The medicine cost Ashraf Rs 1,200, almost double their market price.
His grandmother's condition did not improve. A senior consultant examined her the following morning. He discovered that redundant medicines and injections had been prescribed to the patient. A probe was ordered and it was found that there was no intern by the name of Hasan Rizwi in the hospital.
Another attendant Ramadhin on August 6 - a Sunday became a victim of a similar prank. His wife was admitted in the female ward.
