Inflated hospital bills for IT people

Today I came across this article on moneycontrol site. After reading this it came to my mind as what is said int he article is very true. Other than what is said in the article hospitals and doctors tend to charge more for people with specific profession or designation.

I had this first hand experience as I was ill last year in this month. And I was under treatment at one of the hospital which was near my house. First the doctor treated me for normal cold then for pneumonia. Then after wards I started to get asphyxiate attacks in the night. The doctor told me to get admitted in the hospital. Once I was admitted they kept on changing the medicine regularly and the medicines where costly. Then after 7 days they released me from the hospital. When I looked up the bill it was around Rs.40000/- Also afterwards I had to regularly visit the hospital as I was not fully cured and saw that the doctor was charging me 100/- bucks for each visit where as he was charging less for other people. As I was not getting better there I went to a medical college and there I got a treatement and there they diagnosed the symptoms properly and started the treatment. And here after the treatment for 6 months the total cost of the treatment was around Rs.5000/-

I am now well and healthy. The doctors in the medical college told me that the doctor had simply done all the expensive test because I was a software engineer.

Came back!!! ;)

Hi to all the bloggers who visit my blogs.

Sorry was busy with life.

In the mean time from the time I stopped writing the blog I got married, became a proud father of a son. Then trying to maintain by job in this economic slowdown.

Recently our company started the layoff and I was very woried if I will be next one as I had done some investment thinking that my job is secure. This is major pit fall each individual makes when doing the investment planning [which I also have done :( ], that they always think that the job which they are holding is permanent and from there we will be getting a steady supply of money. We only reliase that this is not so when we get layed off or when there are layoff in your company right left front and back.

I have done some research on investment while I was off blogging and I will let you people let you know about them in my future blogs.

So keep those comments coming. Marketing, spammers please excuse.
