The widespread use of technology and social media has empowered individuals to share their experiences and opinions about various services, including healthcare. Online reviews have become a valuable tool for potential consumers to make informed decisions. However, a recent incident involving a negative Google review of a hospital has taken an unexpected turn, sparking debate and raising concerns about privacy and ethical considerations.
A man named Abhishek Sharma posted a negative review of Athreya Hospital, criticising the staff’s behaviour and specifically mentioning a receptionist named Kavya. Sharma labelled the staff as “ruthless” (misspelled as ‘Rudless’ in the original review) and advised others against visiting the hospital.
In an unusual turn of events, the hospital responded directly to Sharma’s review, publicly disclosing details about his alleged actions. The hospital’s response stated, “Mr Abhishek Sharma, you should be ashamed before posting this review. You know better what you were adamant about.”
The response went on to allege that Sharma had accompanied a colleague, Miss Sharmila, seeking an abortion for an illegal pregnancy. The hospital claimed Sharma presented himself as her husband but refused to provide identification or complete the necessary consent forms, making him liable for potential complications. When questioned about the lack of documentation, Sharma allegedly argued with staff and left the hospital. The response concluded by expressing concern for Miss Sharmila’s well-being.
Shared on social media by an account called @tamil_trendz17, the hospital’s response quickly went viral on platforms like Instagram, garnering significant attention and prompting a wave of comments. While the authenticity of the post remains unconfirmed, it has sparked widespread discussion online.
Users expressed concern for both Sharma and Sharmila, highlighting the potential risks they now face due to the public exposure. One user criticised those who focused on the hospital’s actions instead of addressing Sharma’s alleged behaviour.
One raised concerns about the legal implications for the hospital, noting that disclosing patient information publicly could lead to severe consequences, including closure and legal action against the doctor. Another pointed out the legal framework surrounding abortions, stating that typically only the woman’s consent is required and strict guidelines must be followed.
Adding a touch of humour, another user commented on the commonality of the name ‘Abhishek Sharma’, suggesting it might be challenging to identify the individual involved.
