When Patients Complaint about their Doctor !

All doctors wish to see their patients get better. Rightly so, because helping and healing others is one of main motivations for someone to become a doctor in the first place. Doctors have chosen a profession which is the pinnacle of service provision. Doctors have a direct personal relationship with their patients. The best doctors invest plenty of time and energy for their patients’ happiness.

Satisfied patients offer good reviews about the doctor, which attracts new patients.  Doctors are well aware of this strategy .  If patients are happy , so are their doctors !

Sadly, not all patients get pregnant after IVF treatment. In IVF treatment, a major chunk of the outcome is beyond the doctor’s control. Even the best doctor can only make embryos in the IVF lab and then transfer them into the uterus. What happens thereafter is out of the doctor’s hands. Unfortunately, a major portion of embryos do not become babies. It implies that the chances for the success of a single IVF cycle are less than the chances for failure. 

This harsh truth is irrefutable. So we put in our best efforts at educating our patients at Malpani Clinic and preparing them for all eventualities.  We are frank with our patients and show patients photographs of their embryos even when the odds are not in their favor. We encourage patients to get as well informed as possible , so that they may expect realistic results out of our efforts.

Patients are visibly depressed when an IVF cycle fails, and even though they may appreciate our sincere endeavor. When an IVF cycle fails, rather than complain, a smart patient must analyze the failed cycle with their doctor.
