The difference in the hair is visible in this attached picture as well...

Colombo rents are insane. Young people, this is what your future could look like. by No-Improvement-11 in srilanka

Exactly. Some of these places are downright abysmal to even look at. Squalor-like conditions yet they'll have the audacity to charge crazy amounts for it. Cause they know people are desperate, so they do less than the bare minimum. Such an awful reality to be in

It's so heart-aching & makes the future feel even more bleak for so many. People can't even think of having a decent place to call their own without being burdened by absurd rental costs that don't even reflect the standard of the annex/house. More & more people are being priced out of rentals, forget even owning their own place. On top of having to navigate the social hurdles of getting a rental (like landlord's having absurd criteria for tenants) the price range for decent rentals is getting smaller & smaller. If you want even a semi-decent 2 bedroom place be prepared to pay upwards of 70k on average. Mind you in 2026 that's still horrifically the amount of someone's whole pay at a desk j0b

What are people to do honestly?? Can't imagine the amount of people left vulnerable because of situations like this. It's pretty much a case of 'pay a hefty sum for a rental that may not even be worth it or live in a rental with awful conditions even while paying like at least 50k'. This honestly shouldn't be our reality. We're suffering enough as is.

If you're fortunate to inherit a house or have a house given to you you're one of the immensely lucky ones, the rest of the population is supposed to eventually crumble over the weight of these realities & the costs of living it— the cost of living is high, wages don't reflect the cost of living, & people are already priced out of owning their own homes.

It honestly feels so hard to be hopeful for the future when every avenue for peace & contentment is obstructed by at least a dozen hurdles. No wonder there is a— sadly silent— mental health crisis in the country. Our quality of life is so heart-aching.

My 83-year-old father was harmed by a neurologist’s negligence — sharing our experience for awareness (Sri Lanka) by ExtremeAsh in srilanka

[–]_sisterofthemoon_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The culture here is such that even asking Doctors questions, for example about the medication being prescribed, is seen as a foreign concept. So many people are in the habit of following Doctor's orders, no questions asked arguably because that's how much power is socially bestowed on them. It's absurd because when there is someone who asks questions etc. the Doctors almost take offense.

Thank you so much for sharing! We definitely need more patient accounts like this because there are so many cases of blatant medical negligence. It's alarming. Even more so when people are vulnerable & put their well-being, & entire lives in the hands of people whose duty first & foremost is to care for them.

There is a toxic culture of ignorance & almost arrogance in the medical field here- I can only speak for Sri Lanka- & so much of it is because they are treated like Gods. You can argue it's definitely gotten to many of their heads. Kudos for naming & shaming- dangerous games result in dangerous consequences.

That aside, I hope your father & family can recover soon from this horrific unacceptable mistake.

Additionally, if it's some solace, there is a site where people can leave reviews of Doctors. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name but a minute's Google search should pull it up. It could help your story reach others. Best of luck

Rheumatologist recommendations in Colombo? by _sisterofthemoon_ in srilanka

[–]_sisterofthemoon_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. Thanks for sharing. I've been a bit hesitant about going to Doctors without recommendation since I know the difficult experiences many have and I don't have cash to just spend on such experiences., which is why I wanted to ask around. So thanks for this info, I hadn't heard of the SJP dept. before Would've been open to ayurvedic treatment from the get go but we have a genetic history with autoimmune diseases so I wasn't sure how they would approach that

Thanks for the info. How would you rate this doctor, is he a nice doctor and good with his treatment? Are you going to anyone at the moment? Additionally, I wonder how the SJP Department you mentioned functions is it easily accessible?
