1. Is impatient. Expects you to see them the minute they reach your OPD.
2. No matter how much you do for them, their family would seldom regard you for going out of the way to cure them.
3. Believes in taking the law in their hands in case something accidentally goes wrong at your hospital.
4. You treat them right a hundred times , they’ll stay silent. Go wrong just once and they’ll ask all their friends to write negative reviews on the Internet.
5. Thinks that doctors are a money printing machine.
6. Wants to get everything free while charging money in their own line of work.
7. Negatively troll the one who speaks the truth, without realising that it’s due to behaviour like theirs that Indian doctors are leaving their profession, sending kids abroad and remaining in perpetual fear of getting wrongly killed.
End Note: I haven’t said that every Indian patient is like that. All I’ve said is how an average Indian patient is, based on personal observation. If you don’t have any of the above traits then congrats, it means you’re not an average Indian patient.
