A bad reflection of Indian hospitals and doctors

There are thousands of Indian doctors who work abroad; Thousands of people actually go to India to seek medical treatment, so why are the CVs showing Indian medics and Indian hospitals in such a bad way?

Can a doctor forget his code of practice and his duty to save lives, just for money?

Do other hospital staff not have a conscience?

The only way to get any help is by asking another patient, who will help because he is a patriot and ex-army person?

I appreciate that the message from Zee TV was, the lack of oxygen is risking patient lives, but they could have presented in another way.

This will only reinforce the negative stereotype that in India anyone can be bought with money...

Exactly May!
I really despise the 'you indians are this/that. ...' mentality that is continous in this show and I'm NOT evn Indian!

I know there's corrupt people in all professions but that was a very despicable way of showing it.

If Vivaan and the Kapoor's are as rich and powerful as he says how long before he can get to the bottom of what happened?

And your last line that exactly what I thought!

Another ongoing pet peeve of mine is Meera's education. As far as i know she ISN'T Gopi bahu - so why are they trying to portray her even more stupid than that character.
And what's this humiliation over her lack of education.
Are people who are not educated unable to survive?

Precisely Sofna.
Even as non-Indians we feel uncomfortable with the constant bashing of India and Indians, especially from one particular character's repeated and boring chants.
Though I also take offense when the writers portray all non-Indians as heartless.

I agree rather than just using this as a plot device and CVs need to show Vivaan filing a case against the doctor and the hospital. Neither he nor Meera could possibly want Amaya to remain there after the doctor tried to give her a lethal injection.

Not having a formal education does not automatically make a person any less intelligent; There is as much merit in practical work and having a sense of the world. Meera's education or lack of it has been portrayed in a very careless and confused manner and the CVs should address this.

CVs have now used two tragic events of India as references for sub plots. I anyway don't think these CVs are adept at handling such sensitive issues.
I didn't like that twist for drama. That doc had saved Amaya's life only couple of hrs ago. And now he's about to take away the very life he nursed back?? If nothing else, as humans we develop an attachment for ANY form of life we could nurse/care for. Downright disregard for humanity, the noble profession and ofc that was their usual degrading portrayal of India through SM.đŸ‘ŽđŸŒ

If this depressing twist was absolutely required, the least they could do was to involve anyone else not that doc. Or maybe i'm too emotional and not world wise enough.

Meera had a dialogue in the very first or second episode that she was in the process of completing her graduation via distance education, the medium of instruction being Punjabi.


Before BV came in to write the scrplay, there were not many lines reg her education. MeeVaan used to argue on manners back then. Post BV days of Kaleerein are so typical... Meera herself goes about admitting she's a "gawar". And the whole point is lost on me. Either BV hasn't seen the first few episodes... Or she herself thinks Punjabi medium equals to uneducated ... Or it is a deliberate attempt to pass off meera as a typical telly serial FL that she was not. Why? Perhaps to evoke sympathy... Or maybe something else. I am just as lost and disappointed. It needs to stop.đŸ„±

Lalach mein insaan kuch bhi kar sakta hai!!!
CVs want to bring put the track how roma tries to kill amaya that's why they showed this. But those who are taking these serials seriously , it may effect them. Coz normally many for the shows this is the 1st thing shown and day to day name vanishes of India!! I think cvs should try to show something new and hot because all these things we have already seen I half of the Indian cultured shows.

@Rosy I understand your 'lalach mein...' bt the execution was very poor and derogatory.
As Sree said these cv lack the sensitivity to handle such tracks.

I know it happens. In Bangladesh every step of the way from local Dr to hospital - even what you have at your bedside requires money. These aren't private hospitals. And because you are paying doesn't mean you can expect decent treatment either. They'll add tests to connive more money out of you.

I was in bdesh in 2016. The night of our return when we got to the airport - people who work there come and swarm you. Someone wanted to help push our trollies from the car to the airport door😳 which is like 4 steps. My relative refused, the guy took offence and tried to make it difficult for us inside the airport by delaying our custom in many ways. It's soo annoying and soo real.
It's sad that money is more valuable than basic humanity.
I'm not generalising. But it's prevalent on a mass scale.

@Red: REALLY?
So how was she expecting to submit the work via online or handwritten and postal?
They really spoil her character with these silly taunts on her education and when she tries to act as you said 'gawar'

In today's fast changing world each and every one changes in each and every second. But still it's very sad that in 21st century also there are many people hungry for money😭
