Private Hospitals like Fortis Healthcare are fleecing the common man by charging exorbitantly……The only thing they are interested in is making more and more money by overcharging the patients who come into their hospitals……They talk of patient care and patient delight, in the name of which they cheat the patients of their hard earned money…..I’ve interacted closely with some of the business leaders of Fortis and I’m amazed at the arrogance they display and the rude manner in which they behave and talk……Some of the comments they have made to ring in more revenue into their hospitals can sent down shivers down your spine…..and actually make you wonder if quality healthcare is seriously for treating patients or simply making money…….
