(In light of the faulty hip implant story that exploded recently, we want you as a patient to feel empowered. Whether it is an X Ray or a MRI, or an invasive procedure like hip or knee implants, or even stents, be aware, ask questions and demand answers. Send us your queries at fit@thequint.com)
Many a times, you might have walked out of your doctor’s cabin feeling disappointed and worried, shaking your head at the commercialisation of medicine, and lamenting the days of the family physician.
Chances are you’ve never had a ‘family doctor’, but that doesn’t stop you from dissing your current one who spends all of five minutes with you and leaves you with more questions than answers.
