Readers to check up the genuineness as the same is shared only on legal perspective. This is posted as a Case Law only

Quote:
One of my friend, wanted to do Master check up to her mother.

Though she was quite healthy (No BP, No sugar or No general weakness), my
friend wanted to do as she was in 50s.

So he took her to a local hospital in the morning 8.30 AM on Feb 20, 2010. She was admitted in the hospital for Master Check Up.

After some few hours, he was informed that she has the possibilities to get
heart-attack or heart block.

In the afternoon(2.00p.m) he was informed that the blood is getting arrested and have do a operation immediately
and asked to sign papers.

My Friend was afraid & he accepted for that. He or his father were not allowed to go near her also. They said she is unconscious and anything can be said after 4 hrs.In the evening, around 4.30 p.m they said that she is no more.It was really a shock for my friends & family.

It didn't stop there, the people in the hospital were not ready to give the
body till they settle the hospital bill which was around Rs.2.4 lakhs. Then they gave her body to them @ around 7.00 p.m...The highlight was that they her body as a cotton bundle. As all her parts were removed...As My friend & family were in deep shock and pain they didn't question them.

He took her to that hospital for master check just because he will get back
the money as medical insurance/ reimbursement and this was one of the
hospital which was listed in the insurance company and moreover near to their home.

I have heard that heavily charge, even if you go that hospital for minor
sickness like fever, headache, stomach etc...But this is heights of height!!!

I guess this is not the only hospital which is like this. May be many of
you might come across these type of incidents...I thought of sending you this incident to create awareness.
