Formula: Angiogram -> Blocks in heart (2, 3, or 4) -> Immediate open-heart operation -> Patient is not well -> Taken into ICU -> Based on the fees paid, Dr. Vivek Bose and Dr. Sridhar will plan for the operation.
In the above formula, if you ask if blocks or chest pain can be treated with tablets, they will panic and say the patient is in ICU, questioning how you can ask for tablets to resolve the pain. If we mention that the patient’s body will not support an open-heart operation because they are over 70 or 72, they will say, “Don’t worry about anything, we will take care of everything. You pay the money and get more supportive blood for the operation.” They do not care about the patient, whether the patient has diabetes or a low blood count. The basic thing is if the patient has a low blood count (7 or 7.4), they should not go for an open-heart operation. They do not care about anything. Dr. Vivek Bose and Dr. Sridhar will simply say, “Pay the fees, and we will take care of everything."
I will describe the following; this is not a story. We can see how these doctors are cheating all the patients. I have received this information from multiple people after our incidents with Dr. Vivek Bose C and Dr. Sridhar V.
Patient 1: This happened in the last week of August 2024. He came with heart pain (age 70). After an angiogram, 4 blocks were confirmed. Dr. Vivek Bose suggested going for open-heart surgery. After the open-heart surgery, the patient died. (Bill paid to Apollo Hospital: 9 lakhs)
Patient 2: This happened in the second week of September 2024. He came with a urine infection (age 67). Two blocks were confirmed, and Dr. Vivek Bose suggested going for open-heart surgery. However, the patient’s family didn’t agree to the surgery. Dr. Vivek Bose insisted that they needed to do the surgery immediately and take him to the ICU ward. One of his family members, who is a lawyer, argued strongly and clearly stated that they did not want the open-heart operation. They threatened to call the police and file a complaint if the surgery was planned. Consequently, they managed to leave Apollo Hospital and are doing well now with just tablets.
Patient 3: This happened in the first week of November 2015. They came for a general check-up, including an ECG, and mentioned mild chest pain occurring very rarely. After an angiogram (age 66), Dr. Vivek Bose suggested open-heart surgery. The patient’s son immediately called their family doctor to share the angiogram results. The family doctor said, “They are the number one frauds in this field (Dr. Vivek Bose and Apollo Hospital). Just bring your father out of the hospital, and then we will discuss further.” They fought with the doctors and management, demanding an immediate discharge. After long discussions, Dr. Vivek Bose discharged him. They consulted a normal heart specialist who prescribed tablets, recommended some exercises, and advised on food control. Without any issues, they are still doing well.
Patient 4: He went on a trip to Kodaikanal and felt unwell after dinner. After two days, they came back to Madurai, and he was normal but went for a general check-up. He is a shuttlecock player. This happened in July 2018. After an angiogram, two blocks were confirmed (age 65). Dr. Vivek Bose suggested going for open-heart surgery. However, the patient’s family didn’t agree to the surgery, and the patient told Dr. Vivek Bose, “I am completely alright and don’t have any pain at all.” Dr. Vivek Bose insisted that they needed to do the surgery immediately and take him to the ICU, with the operation scheduled for the same night. The family members believed Dr. Vivek Bose and went ahead with the open-heart surgery. Unfortunately, the patient died after staying in the hospital for 15 days (Bill paid to Apollo Hospital: 15 lakhs). This happened to a well-known rice mill owner in Madurai.
Patient 5: He came with heart pain (age 71). Dr. Vivek Bose suggested going for open-heart surgery. However, the patient’s family didn’t agree to the surgery. Dr. Vivek Bose said he had blocks in very difficult parts under the heart, so they couldn’t go for a stent. The patient’s family members knew that his body would not support open-heart surgery, and his cousin, who is a doctor, also advised against it. Despite Dr. Vivek Bose’s insistence, the family did not agree to the surgery. They discussed with doctors at MGR Hospital, who were ready to do a stent instead of open-heart surgery, and planned to take the patient in a helicopter ambulance. The family informed Dr. Vivek Bose that they were going to MGR Hospital using a helicopter ambulance. Dr. Vivek Bose asked for some time to discuss with Dr. Karuppiah. After 4 or 5 hours, Dr. Vivek Bose agreed not to do the open-heart surgery and to place a stent instead. Now, without the open-heart operation, the patient is doing well. This happened to a well-known wine shop owner in Madurai.
Patient 6: He came with mild heart pain (age 72). Dr. Vivek Bose diagnosed two blocks and suggested an open-heart operation. However, the patient’s son didn’t agree to the surgery. This happened at Bose Clinic in Madurai. They told Dr. Vivek Bose they would come back within a week for the next level of discussion but didn’t return. Instead, they went to a small heart specialist hospital, where they were given a few tablets and advised on some dietary changes. Now, at the age of 86, the patient is doing well.
