APOLLO DR PRABU HEMATOLOGIST KILLED MY MOTHER. Review on Apollo Hospital - Greams Road - Chennai

Dr Prabu .P, Hematologist Apollo hospital poisoned my mother to death.

This is a classic example of how a man can descend to level of beast with a total disregard to human life. From my experience I can definitely say that it is dangerous even to take bone marrow test under him as there are every chance the same will be misinterpreted to his advantage.

My Mother was poisoned to death by a Dr Prabu, Heamotologist in a excruciating manner in Apollo hospital  Greams Road chennai. My mother experienced a most horrible death which one can imagine. The event is nothing short of a murder.

The crux of the matter I took my mother hospital for severe left ear pain on 28th Jan 2016. First level of contact for direct walk-in without doctor's appointment in that hospital is emergency center. The emergency doctor examined her and registered her case under a Hematologist Dr Prabu though she came for ENT problem(because as per medical file she is his patient, who had previously undergone treatment for hematological disorder). The Hematologist referred ENT who examined my mother and did not report any major problem and gave some pills for pain relief and he was out of scene. Dr Prabu insisted us stay for 1-2 days till the pain subsides. He prescribed even heavier pain killers like morphine apparently to extend her stay and complicate things and after which he had not visited my mother till 4th Feb 2016 days. All these days only killers were given. My mother and I insisted for discharge to junior doctors of Dr Prabu on 2nd Feb 2016 and they said discharge can be done only Dr Prabu as per their protocol and he was not available currently. Only on 4th Feb 2016,  Dr Prabu came to visit my mother and at that time mother had slight slurring because of all these days heavy pain killers. He immediately terrorized us that she had got stroke. Since he is suspecting bigger condition like stroke, I gave consent for MRI scan. In scan result, the brain is normal ruling out stroke. Scan showed a lesion in the right Maxillary sinus and told the radiologist that it is a known condition for which biopsy undertaken few years back and the result is non-malignant. Since her ear pain also subsided to greater extent and sensing that he is also complicating things we immediately demanded discharge. The day was 5th Feb 2016(Friday) and he said he will do the discharge tomorrow. But without our knowledge he had stealthily injected through IV a  deadly lethal poisonous drug Ambisome Amphotericin B  which is meant for deadly invasive fungal infection Mucor and this drug should be used for clearly identified anti -fungal treatment(cost of treatment is few crores given it's lethal side effects) and for others it is deadly poison. He cheated my mother that the IV drug is meant for subsiding ear pain. The next day having already started the Mucor treatment without our knowledge, he called me and said my mother had contracted Mucor without any credible evidence and if I discharge her the fungal will invade her all over body in 24 hours and she will die horribly. When questioned how did he found that he said that he had found from scan which shows lesion in sinus cavity. Being non-medical person I myself know that the infection cannot be found with simple scan and a biopsy culture is needed confirm fungal infection and also I told him it is a known condition and asked him to discharge her immediately. He maintained stand it is Mucor based on gut feeling(if it is gut feeling what for diagnostic tools). After a lot of confrontation he said he will discharge on 9th Feb 2016(Tuesday). But past three days this deadly Mucor treatment was going on stealthily under guidance of Dr Prabu without our knowledge. From 8th Feb 2016 Monday she suddenly worsoned her kidney shutted, liver damaged, blood cells are dropping and he maintained the stand that the Mucor is killing her. Unbelieving this, I went and demanded the detailed pharmacy bill indented on her behalf and found that Ambisome Ampho-B drug of 200ml was going on last 3 days. I checked details about the drug and found it is drug for invasive fungal treatment with lot of drug protocols and it is has high mortality risk. Because of past 3 days dosage without our knowledge her condition became non-dischargeable.  He keep on telling me the fungal is doing all the damages. Now my option to disapprove the same only by taking a biopsy which is general anasthetic surgery. No Anesthetic came forward given her kidney shut down condition as surgery in this circumstances will lead to clinical coma. Everyday I had to bring 1 -1.5 lacs per day to give her life support. I vehemently begged and pleaded to stop the drug but keep on terrorizing me she will face a horror death within few hours if the treatment is stopped. I pleaded ENT doctor to do a biopsy surgery on her as only then I can disapprove the same. ENT doctor after taking a high risk consent did the biopsy surgery on 13th Feb 2016 under deep sedation  as general anesthesia is unfit . The result was there was no fungal element and severe left ear pain for which we had come is only on account of just acute inflammation which will subside by time. Only then drug was stopped. Without any qualms with a smile he said it is misjudgment. The horror and harassment, I experience during stay under Dr Prabu is inexplicable where I was forced to bring every day more than 1 lac by deliberately harming my mother's condition and by holding her captive refusing her discharge and important point is all this is by Dr Prabu who is hematologist has no locus standie in ENT subject . By that time, we almost lost her and she went into coma and bill raised around 15 lacs and I could not meet the sudden expenses and pleaded for few days times even though I was bringing 1-1.5 lacs   everday for past 10 days  for no fault of us. Hospital authorities threaten to withdraw life support and refused to give even few hours time and other private hospitals are not willing to take her. So we took her to government hospital after spending more than 15 lacs for unwarranted treatment designed with ill intention and she died on 20th Feb 2016. Every day the incident haunts me and had taken a toll on my health as well and may be I am living my last few months.

Above incident is only immediate cause of death. She had already subjected to grievous hurt within the meaning of Sec 320 of IPC under Dr Sashi bushan, another Main Apollo doctor in the year 2014, where my mother went to the Apollo hospital for the very first time for leg injury. On account of  Dr Sashi Bushan's horrendous criminal negligence where every onuce of blood were taken away from her body on account of poor post surgical care, my mother's heart stopped 2 times successively in the same day and came back to life from clinical death after nearly 20 units of blood transfusions(only 3 units on account of surgery loss). This incident led to non-stop medical attention for almost 2 years and had to deal with eye problem, blood disorder(for which we consulted Dr prabu). Eventhough we do not want to go Apollo hospital we had no choice as other hospital's doctors feared taking her on knowing the horror trauma she experienced under Dr Sashibushan in Apollo setting and hence our defacto hospital became Apollo hospital which had taken more than 40 lacs for all of their faults rather crimes and more than money, their doctors had taken way by beloved mother.
