6th October

Completed morning program. Visited center for sight for Venita's eye checkup. We had got the appointment at 1200 hours, but Dr. Dinesh Talwar could see her only at about 1500 hours. Then what is the point in giving appointment? We could just inform that we are coming and whenever our chance comes we take it. In a similar way I was given appointment by Dr. Seth, Head of Cardiology, Escorts hospital for 1400 hours, but he saw me only at 1900 hours, keeping me waiting for full 5 hours. I pointed it out to Dr. Seth and requested him to streamline the system of appointments. He did not take my complaint kindly. Even he hinted me to be seen by his juniors. I said it was not acceptable. I further told him that I had been referred to him by Prof. RK Tandon of Sitaram Bhartiya hospital. He agreed to see me in future too.
I was impressed with the interview of Dr. Sam Pitroda, Advisor to the PM on Public Information, Infrastructure and Innovation, published in page no.34 of 'Eye Supplement of Indian Express' dated October 3-9, 2010. I recommended it to all for perusal. I would give a brief of it in my next blog. Retired to sleep at 2230 hours.
