This 28 point agenda I had made to discuss before Shiv Kheraji

When he had come to launch BRSP party in Mumbai and meeting venue was my mini party hall. I though there will be some time to have dialogue/ discussion before him. But he alone spoke at length. And ofcourse he is powerful orator.My these points remained in my desktop. Suddenly I notice d it today. Before deleting I have blogged it so may be few will read.....Alok

Firstly frustrate people by showing where the hell the world has gone and why we are still behind. Make documentaries. Create desire for better life, better food, better shelter, better education and then tell how we will give al that:

 

28 Point Programme as suggested by Alok Tholiya

 

1.     Four color PAN card/ Ration Card

·        Red poor Below Rs. 2.5 lac income p.a. For free or charitable rates

·        Blue Middle class Rs. 2.5 to 10 lacs p.a. for reasonable/ subsidized rates

·        Green for 10 to 25 lacs for normal rates

·        White get VIP treatment but exorbitant rates.

IN hospitals either there are Rs. 1 or directly Rs. 500 OPD charges. Middle class person with income of 5 to 10 k also pays 500/- and Ambani, Tata , Bachan, Khans with income in  Crores per month also pay Rs. 500/-The rate should be Rs. 1 for Red, Rs. 100/- for Blue, Rs. 500 for Green and Rs. 1000/- to White. Now same idea can be used in train , Air, Gas, electricity, education etc.etc. etc .Definitely white can be given some priorities/ preferences / home services like their passport can be made without visiting passport office and officials visit them but cost should be Rs. 10000/-. Otherwise too they unofficially use influence, pressures and bribes. Rather officially recognize them VIP being high tax payers but charge.

Application to court should be also in such order.

        

        2. Women quota by parties and not by govt. Means if a party announces candidates then 25% of them should be women.

 

3. One promotion / increment out of tern can be given to

·        Non alcoholic

·        Intercast marriage for encouraging national integrity

·        Family planning

·        Voluntarily surrendering govt. housing

·        Voluntarily refusing govt. post for own children

 

4.     All charitable and educational institutes above 50 crores to spend 10% in backward areas.

5.     All corporates to recruit 10% form backward regions and or have 10% of their investments in backward areas.

6.     Panchayat System, ombudsman, in all community, locality and business houses

7.     All political parties to hold one General body meeting / high command meeting  border states/ backward areas to test how deep is water and which will bring some upliftment in that area.

8.     Right to Redressal: Like RTI RTR to be introduced and the applicants grievances be redressed in time bound frame work say in 15 days or punishment be given to delaying authority.RTR should be also introduced in private sector. Say my grievances against service providers if not heard in 15 days then there should be penalty on same.

9.     Housing: Lot of migration has taken place since independence. The new migrants coming in search of lively hood do not have at their early stage money to buy flats / shops. Rental housing and commercial premises was never encouraged. Therefore we see fast creation of slums and unauthorized colonies in all cities. While millions are forced to live in sub human /  bad condition in slums the politicians together with  municipal , police and other authorities have made lot of money from these encroachers. Rental housing be given the status of Industry. The new era be introduced  where landlord should easily get back possession of his premises  from tenant and tenant should easily get alternate accommodation. Media must play right roll in this and not malign shelter providers. All landlords of 15 year and above be given easy finance repayable in installments to build / rebuild their properties if put back for the use of rental housing.

10. Senior citizens: If one is having  health policy for more then 15 years prior to attaining age of 70 then his policy can not be discontinued of premium can not be hiked. Presently one may have health insurance till he attains 70 but same ceases when he crosses 70. Who will spend money on his health when old? Similarly Presently Personal accident policy is not issued to people above 70. Why? Such discrimination should be stopped. Every bank if has credit card facility should issue one to their account holder even if sr. Citizen. It is shocking to note that card is not given to sr. citizens and then for emergency they have to stash cash at home. They are lonely and weak and become easy pray of criminals.

11. Counseling: Every police station should have counselors and mediators. Most domestic and neighborhood fight can be stopped from flaring up if instead of police the qualified counselors are appointed.

12. All govt. servants must get 30 years interest free loan to purchase and own a house. Today govt gives them a house but throws them out after retirement.

13. Salaried including domestic staff: It should be made compulsory to provide health insurance and personal accident insurance of Rs. 50000/- and above ( rank wise) to all staff. The policy should be owned by staff and they can leave/ change the job and yet policy should continue (either new employer pays or they themselves pay). Many employers take group insurance. Same be stopped as once the person  leaves the job he becomes uninsured. Also if he has attained upper age then he may not get own policy if he so desires.

14. Safety, hygiene,: proper laws are required for these. These are least bothered issues today.

15. Not only doctors but every graduate be given one year's assignment, apprenticeship, training in backward area. Say journalists. They are graduated in cities. They cover only people in lime light. Often 80 % paper is full with cricketers, politicians and filmi news. Nothing is given to readers form N.E states. They exist only in our maps. Poverty news given only when World Bank talks about same. These news reporters are invited by PRO's to cocktail and dinners. That is how page 3 are covered. These reporters think their paper can not sell unless everyday few khans, few bachans, few kapoors, thakrey,Tata, Ambani, Mallaya, Mittal,  cricketers are shown prominently. Actually law should be enacted that atleast 10% of newspapers space be covering mofussil, adivasi, backward, frontier states etc..  

16. Flood free country by 2012: After due study preventive measures have to be taken to avoid flooding and to avoid consequent losses. Now even with little showers even planned cities are getting flooded. Proper drainage system will have to be put in place.

17.   China: We have to set up a high powered com. Which should ensure only required and high quality goods are imported. Today India has become dumping ground of poorest quality cheap and fancy products. It will affect our economy and ecology. Good quality products will ensure less productions of E-waste. ISI /CE norms will have to be framed / adopted.

18. All corporates above particular size will have to have in their campus either school / collage/ hospital or sr. citizen home.

19. Looking to rising mortality age govt will have to encourage Sr. Citizens home and other infrastructures like pathways, roads, transport, public utilities will have to be such designed that it does not inconveniences the sr. citizens.

20. Roads: India is very big. And has to be well connected by roads. But our roads get damaged very soon. After proper research and study a suitable national standards will have to be prescribed so that trillions of rupees do not go every year in just  repairs and filling potholes.

21. Buildings:

·        Even new buildings develop leakages. Proper construction quality and standards will have to be set so that troubles and wastes are avoided.

·        We will have to fix a life span of each building when occupation certificates are given. Then landlords / societies will have to create fund and keep with nationalized banks for reconstruction after its age is over. These funds have to be collected from each occupier of building on sq. feet basis every month. IN the absence of this soon we will find buildings are crumbling and everyone asking govt. to fund the reconstruction.

 

 

22. Education and health: With present speed we will not be able to take education to all parts of country. Special incentives will have to be given like 200% tax benefit or 50% money laundering if rest is spent in backward area for the given purpose.

23. Sports: Tax benefit to corparates/ institution/ clubs to take up one sport and impart best of training in same and on getting medal, cup more incentives can be given. There is no need to give unlimited benefits to winners but benefits have to be given to those who develop winners. In next Olympics India must set a good target say of 25 Golds and prepare accordingly. Millions of youth get mentally affected when we loose badly.

24. Simplifications of procedures, laws and taxation.

25. Rapid Infrastructure Growth: by privates on profit sharing basis. Why crawl like a pest in traffic? Why suffocate in overfilled trains? Why wait for hours for buses? Why reach in hours and days when world is moving to rapid transport? Lets have modern transport and infrastructure by private participation.

26. Courtesy and Respect: Common man never gets. Only VIP's and who's who get courtesy and respect .we shall strive to give that to aam admi.

27. Better working environment and pay to Police, elected representatives and judiciary.

28. Like IPS, IRS, IAS etc. we should have IJS : Indian Judicial Services. So fitting and appointing Judges directly who don't identify themselves with inefficient , delaying Advocates and System.

Namaskar. This is to remind abt what happended in Property owners dinner meeting many years back.

There r always two sides of coin. Many a times one has seen only one side and shouts on top of voice abt what he thinks is right. This is one sidedeness, ekantawad, and ignorance so can be dubbed as foolishness. I have been fool all my life and god has given me a very bitter kick to start seeing the otherside too.
 
 
U may have forgotten but I have been constantly remembering this as burden and by writing this letter I am trying to wipe my sins and tears.
 
Pl. note that ur daughter had said some thing abt atrocities on women in open forum of a meeting of POA at Orient Club Chowpati. Till then I had expirienced only atrocities by women. I got and said something against her issues. I apologise for same. Pl. convey this to her. Coin has two sides. Jainism stronly recommends anekantwad. But I was a fool. Having taught lesson by god I come to you and ur daughter for fogiveness.
 
I am sure she must have faced sever trauma to gather courage to speak on atrocities on women. Due to my one sidede knowledge I washed away her issues with my oratory. But god and her hurt feelings have given me lesson of life. It has made me apologise to her so curse on me is removed and woken activist in me to work in that feild too and not against jusicial system, against rent act and against atrocities / negligieance of sr. citizens.
 
Hope you and ur beloved daughter will pardon me. Pl. let me know if I can be of any assistance to you  ur family and specially ur beloved daughter.
 
Folded hand apololies.

FW: Your doctor gets 40- 60% kickbacks from pathology labs & other referrals!!.......must read before u fall sick ..Alok



Dear Krish,

 

very true. No profession be it medical, education or religion ( Guru, saint,pujari,father,maulana) etc are any more noble.

 

 Recently at 2 am my father became breathless. He was already not well for a month. I rushed him in ambulance to Hinduja. There they very promptly stabilized him in casualty but then they said they have no place in ICU and that we shud shift him.

We checked at seven hills who described the charges on phone itseld and told us to come over.Seven hills is little far and is in area which remains heavily traffic jammed. Then we called another hospital ( I want to avoid taking name) as same is headed by a good doctor and has good facilities ( but ethics???) and is only 7 minutes away from my house thus is nearest pvt hospital for me. They said they have a place in ICU. We rushed him there. They took him in to casualty and from there to ICU. Then I was asked to go and finish formalities of registration. There they surprised me by saying that I can not decide/ opt for a class I want for my patient. They said hospital policy is that emergency patients are given only Deluxe class ( room rate Rs 9500/- per day , doctor visit Rs 1700/- per visit and other charges high accordingly).

 

When I showed my reluctance , insited that there is no such rule which can allow this to happen in our country ( but in my heart I knew it is only in our country that common man are fleeced , duped,harrassed, armtwisted, blackmailed, illtreated and rich, who's who, VIP's are treated like maharajas ( see this hospital itself where there is luxurieos VIP lounge,  but has  badly kept dining room for relatives of patients behind in the dump area ) . The counter in charge then said u may pl. talk to Dr Yadav tomorrow and she may consider to down grade our room. With some reluctance I paid the deposit. From then own I kept following up with Mrs yadav and all others I cud approach and find contacts. I also carried my IT papers to support my case.

 

After 3 days keeping my request on hold they flately refused to do anything.

Ofcourse they have there policy and I have mine of activism and not to easily give in to arm twisting. I warned them politely. They stuck to their guns..of course it was worst then AK 47.

 

I had no choice but to take out my weapon given by beloved Bapu Gandhiji.

 

I made 3 posters :

1. so and so hospital have some heart.

2. Dr so and so fear God

3. stop armtwisting of emergency patients

 

One I pasted thru cello tape on my shirt , second I hired a poor boy and asked him to stand on gate and third I put up on my car parked on gate. I purposely selected time of 8 pm as 95 % of visitors are gone by that time as I wanted to avoid big scene ( did not want to use Ironman's hammer where gold smith hammer can work). I quietly started roaming in their palatial lobby. Slowly some relatives ( out of remaining 15 -20 ) before 7 pm there r more then 200 ) started murmuring, one or two gathered courage and came to me , appreciated, started telling their problems too, etc.. Hosp staff kept on looking from distance. They were in for a surprise and did not know what to do. Finally a team of 3 sr. managers who were leaving for home spotted me and came to me. The lady heading them was having extraordinary  PR skills ( as if I am talked rough,loud,wrong language etc then I too loose my temper and then in short madness big scene is created) and sat clsoe to me, discussed the issue which I said :

 

1. I should have been told on phone that these are our terms and condition and charges when I had called up. After calling me with emergency patient, taking him in charge they can not
give me any rude shock?

 

2. They should have refused my request on first day as then I cud think of shifting patient to other hosp.

 

3. As a consumer I have a right to select the product and services of my choice and budget and know damages in advance. They have other rooms available then how can they insist that I must opt for the one which they would like ?

 

4. I also asked on what criteria / reasoning my request to down grade was refused and without even having look at my IT papers. Just whims or because I was not having some sr. bureaucrat, union to side me??

 

5. I highlighted that my patient was 88 yrs old Sr. citizen and that definitely deserved a soft approach.

 

She rushed in  ( I can only believe she must have had to negotiat very hard for my case)  and came back with an announcement that my request is granted. My bed charges came down by 50%. and doctors charges from whopping Rs 1700 to Rs 600/- per visit etc..

 

 

By the way there is a path lab in Santacruz east which has lowest charges and has written on board that we are lowest because we don't give any commission to doctors. And pl. note that there are no doctors who recommend that lab and only send to ( I will again avoid taking names)

 

Most family doctors for even small ailments refer in writing to specialists. The best option is to say if your roll is over then we will select the specialist / hospital and don't go with their letter. Even if specialist / hospital does not want you to over bill / do unnecessary surgery/ tests but they have to as the doc recommending wants big cut and if he does not get then next time he will not send Murga / bakra/  innocent client.

 

Caution: Many tests some times are necessary too to rule out and narrow down on problem so all negative tests do not mean that they were unnecessary.

Caution2 : I knew I am between good people ( may be little less ethical) and not in the hands of criminals but if I was in UP/ Bihar/ bureaucrat run place then I would have not done even this mild peaceful activism as there cud have been threat to patients life.

Caution 3: Let us prepare and arm ourselves with knowledge, procedures, policies, etc of medical profession so we are not taken by surprise. Someone can start a yahoo group / a discussion forum for common man who may need / are in need to share hospital experiences/ woes/expenses.Atleast that is our birth right as a free???? citizens of free??? nation.

Subject: [juhuektaalm] Your doctor gets 40- 60% kickbacks from pathology labs & other referrals!!

 


Dear All,

 

Corruption has many names, and one of these names is "commission". The government is no doubt corrupt… but civil society isn't innocent either. Professionals and businessmen of various sorts indulge in unscrupulous practices. I recently had a chat with some doctors, surgeons and owners of nursing homes about the tricks of their trade. Here is what they told me:

 

1)      40-60% kickbacks for lab tests. When a doctor (whether family doctor / general physician, consultant or surgeon) prescribes tests – pathology, radiology, X-rays, MRIs etc. – the laboratory conducting those tests gives commissions. In South and Central Mumbai -- 40%. In the suburbs north of Bandra -- a whopping 60 per cent! He probably earns a lot more in this way than the consulting fees that you paid him!

 

2)      30-40% for referring to consultants, specialists & surgeons. When your friendly GP refers you to a specialist or surgeon, he gets 30-40% from them.

 

3)      30-40% of total hospital charges. If the GP or consultant recommends hospitalization, he will receive kickback from the private nursing home as a percentage of all charges including ICU, bed, nursing care, surgery etc.

 

4)      Sink tests. Some tests prescribed by doctors are not needed. They are there to inflate bills and commissions. The pathology lab understands what is unnecessary. These are called "sink tests"; blood, urine, stool samples collected will be thrown into the sink.

 

5)      Admitting the patient to "keep him under observation". People go to cardiologists feeling unwell and anxious. Most of them aren't really having a heart attack, and cardiologists and family doctors are well aware of this. They admit such safe patients, put them on a saline drip with mild sedation, and send them home after 3-4 days after charging them a fat amount for ICU, bed charges, visiting doctors etc.

 

6)      ICU minus intensive care. Nursing homes all over the suburbs are run by doctor couples or as one-man-shows. In such places, nurses and ward boys are 10th class drop-outs in ill-fitting uniforms and bare feet. These "nurses" sit at the reception counter, give injections and saline drips, perform ECGs, apply dressings and change bandages, and assist in the operation theatre. At night, they even sit outside the Intensive Care Units; there is no resident doctor. In case of a crisis, the doctor -- who usually lives in the same building -- will turn up after 20 minutes, after this nurse calls him. Such ICUs admit safe patients to fill up beds. Genuine patients who require emergency care are sent elsewhere to hospitals having a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) round-the-clock.

 

7)      Unnecessary caesarian surgeries and hysterectomies. Many surgical procedures are done to keep the cash register ringing. Caesarian deliveries and hysterectomy (removal of uterus) are high on the list. While the woman with labour-pains is screaming and panicking, the obstetrician who gently suggests that caesarian is best seems like an angel sent by God! Menopausal women experience bodily changes that make them nervous and gullible. They can be frightened by words like"cysts" and "fibroids" that are in almost every normal woman's radiology reports. When a gynaecologist gently suggests womb removal "as a precaution", most women and their husbands agree without a second's delay.

 

8)      Cosmetic surgery advertized through newspapers. Liposuction and plastic surgery are not minor procedures. Some are life-threateningly major. But advertisements make them appear as easy as facials and waxing. The Indian medical council has strict rules against such misrepresentation. But nobody is interested in taking action.

 

9)       Indirect kickbacks from doctors to prestigious hospitals. To be on the panel of a prestigious hospital, there is give-and-take involved. The hospital expects the doctor to refer many patients for hospital admission. If he fails to send a certain number of patients, he is quietly dumped. And so he likes to admit patients even when there is no need.

 

10)  "Emergency surgery" on dead body. If a surgeon hurriedly wheels your patient from the Intensive Care Unit to the operation theatre, refuses to let you go inside and see him, and wants your signature on the consent form for "an emergency operation to save his life", it is likely that your patient is already dead. The "emergency operation" is for inflating the bill; if you agree for it, the surgeon will come out 15 minutes later and report that your patient died on the operation table. And then, when you take delivery of the dead body, you will pay OT charges, anaesthesiologist's charges, blah-blah-blah.  

 

Doctors are human too. You can't trust them blindly. Please understand the difference between:

 

·         Young surgeons and old ones. The young ones who are setting up nursing home etc. have heavy loans to settle. To pay back the loan, they have to perform as many operations as possible. Also, to build a reputation, they have to perform a large number of operations and develop their skills. So, at first, every case seems fit for cutting. But with age, experience and prosperity, many surgeons lose their taste for cutting, and stop recommending surgery.

 

·         Physicians and surgeons. To a man with a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Surgeons like to solve medical problems by cutting, just as physicians first seek solutions with drugs. So, if you take your medical problem to a surgeon first, the chances are that you will unnecessarily end up on the operation table. Instead, please go to an ordinary GP first.

 

Warm Regards,

Krish

    Re: Yatra Programme

    Dear Jain Utsav members,
     
    1.Dear Sureshji is putting in enormous efforts in making the Yatra a memorable one. Hope everyone has confirmed.Pl. dont wait for others to confirm. And if one of the spouse can not make it for some reason then atleast the other one must not miss the opportunity to go in such nice group and to a yatra.
     
    We came alone and will leave this world alone so opportunity to go to a good religious place should not be missed.
     
    2. Pl. note that this is a time of CSR ( corporate social responsibility) . So atleast as a social group our social responsibility goes up. And we must do something differant. here is an opportunity. I had visited Gajpantaji 2 months back.While they have made beautiful temple at Gajpantaji ( below hill) but the toilet was?????? Huh ...huh ....ooo... my god. When we r all there ( subject to daddy's health I amy or may not be there) we must look at this as an opportunity and make a modern toilet there from our side.
     
    Let us have few temples / Murtis but have them in neat, beautiful, seren environment with basic modern amenities.
     
    Hope u will all agree. All the best

    New Government Authority to Investigate Financial Frauds
    By CA A. K. Jain

    Introduction - Taking clue from the developed nations Indian Government has also established a multi-disciplinary organization under Ministry of Corporate Affairs to investigate serious financial frauds committed in India. This office known as "SFIO" is working with the help of experts in the filed of accountancy, forensic science, auditing, law, information technology, investigation, company law, capital market and taxation. SFIO is extensively being used by the government for detecting and prosecuting white-collar crimes / frauds. The SFIO investigation is generally undertaken in the circumstances where public interest is involved or the fraud has multi-disciplinary ramifications.
