Radhika Gupta’s Appreciation Post
Radhika Gupta, taking to X, shared her experience and expressed her gratitude for the swift medical care she received at the hospital.
“This is an appreciation post! I had a bad fall and subsequent head injury last Sunday. Had to be rushed for emergency medical care and then treatment. Despite it being a Sunday morning, I managed to get an ambulance, excellent care, tests, and stitches within a few hours thanks to the efficient team at Jaslok Hospital. I was back home in 2.5 hours of the fall,” she wrote.
She further compared her experience with healthcare services in other developed countries. ” Have lived and seen medical emergencies in many very “developed” parts of the world where long waits at ERs spanning hours and hours are common and medical care even when your head is bleeding is not immediate (despite paying a lot of money for insurance). We aren’t a perfect country, but there are many things we do right, and for this, I am very grateful,” she said.
