Summary:
The district hospital authorities have time and again written to the state government authorities to hire two more radiologists but to no avail. Since ultrasound is not an emergency and it can wait, the waiting list was introduced. Every day, at least 30 patients come to the hospital to get their ultrasound.But why the waiting list? “The patients who are not admitted in the district hospital get the chance to get an ultrasound once their number arrives in the waiting list,” said Dr.
Jain. Meerut: At PL Sharma district hospital in Meerut, getting an ultrasound done means a long wait — it can extend up to 20 days.A small board hanging outside the ultrasound centre here, reads, “Register for ultrasound between 8 am and 10 am, and get a date and number to get ultrasound”..
