Ordeal of patient in Hospicio

MARGAO: Hospicio was in the news again on Tuesday for the wrong reason. A family from Cansaulim complained that they were made to run from pillar to post for two long hours just to receive an X-ray from the hospital. Martin Fernandes along with his wife and child visited the hospital on Tuesday morning for an X-ray, but was told by the OPD doctor to collect the same from the casualty and then to the X-ray department, but in vain.

“I had to virtually told to go from one department to the other for two long hours by the Hospicio authorities. This is sheer negligence on the part of the hospital. The common man is made to suffer for no fault of theirs”, he said.
When the media asked Hospicio medical superintendent Dr Siona Gomes to shed light on the incident, she promised to look into the matter. She, however, hastened to add that the X-ray department had been facing problems for want of a radiologist.
Meanwhile, a citizen Usha Shirodkar told the media that she has spend Rs 10,000 only on medicines at Hospicio since the hospital does not provide any medicines for the patients.
