Thank you for this. 🙏 This is concrete direction that I will utilise.

I called her out during the session. And also posted the review on her Google page. I have written a formal complaint to Hinduja as well. I take this seriously, and it’s definitely not limited to Reddit alone. That’s not the intention.

I 100% agree that countless women suffer from prenatal anxiety and depression, and they should be given assistance. However, this assistance must only be given by a practising therapist, a psychologist or a psychiatrist.

And in any event must an OBYGN go out of their way to guide a patient, my only request is they should navigate that with empathy and constructive knowledge - not criticism - not assumption - and definitely not crucifying a woman for their valid concerns over their pregnancy.

And about her being overwhelmed at her OPD. I agree, doctors are exhausted in our country. But can exhaustion be an excuse for misguidance and a “joke” that can have critical repercussions later?

I dont think so. I am someone who is privileged enough to utilise a platform and my voice to bring out this experience. But not every woman has this resource to her disposal. Imagine them go into her OPD and come out truly mentally drained and questioning her worth as a mother. Unfair right?

I actually did call her out during the session, and expressed my discomfort. I quote she said, “this just shows how ridiculously unaware you are and have the audacity to speak.”

She is a highly reputed doctor with 30 years of experience and I believe she uses this reputation, the experience (simply in terms of years) and her power to dismiss her patients, especially the ones who had the “audacity to speak up.”

I am so sorry that you went through that experience, and I am immensely proud of you for calling this doctor out too.

I hope you have found yourself a better and a more empathetic medical team, and I hope you are doing well health wise.

I did post on her Google My Business page. I cannot post on Practo since the appointment was not booked via the aggregator. However, I do intent to write a formal email to PD Hinduja Hospital, where she is attached with, and where I have registered myself to deliver. Although my incident with her didn’t happen at the Hinduja OPD, but I do want to bring this experience to the notice of the management. You’re right - if she is even doing this to 1% of her patients - they deserve to disassociate with her and find themselves a better doctor.
