After over 13 years of placing unwavering trust in Apollo Hospitals Bangalore, one family’s recent ordeal at the Jayanagar branch has left them shattered—and it needs to be heard. Mrs. Rukumani Venkateshwaran, the elderly matriarch of the family, was admitted following a Transient Ischemic Attack. What followed, however, wasn’t just a medical emergency—it became a distressing emotional rollercoaster no family should endure. 🔹 Doctors remained silent—no communication, no updates, no clarity on her condition. 🔹 Departments seemed disconnected, leaving loved ones scrambling for answers. 🔹 The emotional needs of the family were overlooked, with clinical indifference instead of compassionate care. 🔹 The insurance process was a bureaucratic nightmare, delayed and handled with no urgency or coordination. This isn’t just a post about medical care gone wrong. It’s about the basic expectation of humanity in healthcare—transparency, empathy, and clear communication. Sadly, all of that was missing. The family wasn’t asking for miracles—just to be informed, supported, and treated with kindness during one of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. They’ve chosen to share their story not to accuse, but to awaken. To urge Apollo Hospital Jayanagar—and other hospitals—to reflect and reform. "When we bring our loved ones to a hospital, we’re not just seeking treatment. We’re placing our trust, our emotions, our fears—and hoping someone will guide us with care." Let’s hope no other patient or family is left feeling invisible in their darkest hour. 🛑 This account is based on a real patient experience shared on LinkedIn.
