If one were to take a survey of the number of labs in
Chennai, the city of our residence, a mindboggling but unsurprising number
would show up.
In our 5 months at Apollo Specialty Hospital (ASH) lab tests
made up almost one-fourth of the mammoth bill.
As with many things we realized there is Apollo, and then there is rest
of the medical world. Apparently their
equipments and diagnostic procedures are cutting edge, a line of reasoning used
to justify almost double the cost of tests done elsewhere.
Once out of Apollo it was surely a tough act to follow for
some of the specialized test. But for
the routine ones - after two years, various labs and multiple tests I have a few
favorites. Lister
Metropolis tops the list, other close runner ups like the ‘24’ hour Anderson Lab,
Hi Tech diagnostics
and Dr. Lal Path Labs, which is our
friendly neighbor.
Lister home service is timely in response, punctual,
reliable, and emails me the reports and couriers the hard copies. They rarely fumble and when they do, are quick
to apologize. Like the time a phlebotomist couldn't find the vein and tested my patience and my father’s arm beyond
endurance. Or the time when one inserted
the needle wrong causing excessive bleeding. I of course wasted no time in reporting the incident to the
management. They
surprised me with quick follow-up, apologies and an explanation of the likely
mistake.
Chennai also has home services for x rays
and ultrasounds.
Our city touted as India’s health capital is Mecca for the
ailing, I guess we are lucky to be sick
in Chennai.
can you please provide the contact details of Dr. Krishnamurthy, acutuoch doctor. I tried in google but of no use. this will be of great use to me. pl. mail me at mathymal@hotmail.com
