Bone Marrow Transplant in CMC, Vellore?Think over it once again.
We have spent around 8 months in CMC, Vellore for the treatment of my sister and even after putting our best efforts my beloved sister passed away due to the negligence of the nursing staff.
My sister was a patient of AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) (A type of blood cancer) and the senior doctor at CMC, Vellore has suggested Bone Marrow Transplant for the treatment of the same.
My sister has spent most of these 8 months in the private ward single room (A-Block) where she has received good care from both, the doctors and the nursing staff. No infection was developed in her body even at the times when she was critically neutropenic (TLC count was less than 100). But some of the services are not available in the private block (such as CT scan, small surgery to implant the hickman line) for which the patient has to be brought to the respective laboratory. Getting these tests done is more of a torture for family member and patient, rather than a test. Following are some problems that we have faced-
1)You have to follow the queue system irrespective of the condition of patient.
2)The staff behaves rudely with the patient and family.
3)You will be charged higher if the patient is a private patient, for the same service.
My sister has undergone all the treatments successfully including the Bone Marrow Transplant but unfortunately she has got GVHD (Graft Versus Host Disease) of guts which leads to high internal bleeding. Due to continuous bleeding the doctor has suggested us to shift her in ICU.
She was shifted to general ICU as private block’s (A-Block) ICU was not functional. The ICU was more like a general ward. Following are some problems that we have faced –
1)Only two doctors on duty out of which one is new (almost looks like an intern).
2)No waiting area for relatives.
3)20 beds in a large hall, separated by curtains. So if a patient has a viral infection, there is high probability that it can be spread to other patients as well.
4) Negligent nursing staff-
a) It is a well known fact that hygiene is the most critical factor in the treatment of cancer as the body of the patient is highly neutropenic and susceptible to infection. The nursing and laboratory staff was so negligent that they didn’t even use mask and gloves before giving any medication to my sister.
b) They don’t even go through the file (consist of patient’s medical history and Do’s n Don’ts) sent by the nursing staff of A-Block.
c) Doesn’t take care of hygiene at the time of medication. (The connector of hickman line needs to be clean before and after any medication. The medication should be stopped if any injection has to be given but we realized that none of these best practices were followed).
My sister has got blood infection which got spread in the entire body. Even the doctors were unable to stop the infection though they have used all possible medication.
I hope that God doesn’t give such a dreadful disease to anyone but even if you or your loved one is suffering from blood cancer\MDS\Thalassemia and considering CMC, Vellore for Bone Marrow Transplant ………………..give it a second thought!!!!!!! |
