Another Reason I Hate Indians in Ceylon
This is something I fail to make public.
I think this happened in 1994 soon after returning from New Zealand.
I was involved in UNIX Networking of the entire network of hospitals.
However, I was only involved in the local hospital's DATA, especially getting the names and aliases filed, in one folder with identification sticker for each patent and his or her aliases.
This had to be done manually and the secretary's job was to type the Sticker Label in each clinical older.
I was there only for two years by 9 months, all the DATA on patients attended were saved in a server.
This is something we should do in CEYLON to public money.
It is difficult but with proper training it could be done.
So when I joined Navaloka Hospital it was all in a total mess.
They were only interested in keeping financial records and even there lot of mistakes of double payments and non payment of certain items.
So I did a pilot project in the laboratory on laboratory reports.
Even this was difficult since processors included different locations and different individuals.
For payment to be made they needed my initials.
They were making mistakes even in Blood Grouping.
I hired a lady doctor who had worked in Blood Bank in General Hospital and made her to record all according to the procedure I designed.
It did work all right and ID had to be checked with passport or National Identity Number.
We have well organized protocol unlike in India. This Anura guy is trying to destroy our technology by duplicating with Indian ID technology which is far less diligent and is in experimental mode.
I bought the first Coulter Machine as part of very expensive upgrading and automation of all the equipment.
Target was to hit 2000 reports a day without human errors, which we achieved without difficulty.
With my Quality Control Procedure which extended even into the kitchen Navaloka Hospital won the Quality Award in in 1995.
Then nothing more to do I decided to quit and join the University.
By the way, I was paid a "Summa Salary".
Of course this unit was manger by a Biochemistry Professor who was related somebody in the Navaloka Family.
I did a follow up study and when I visited Navaloka may be 3 years later, I found the Unit was handed over to an Indian Company selling Cheap Indian Equipment and worse still and Indian (most likely due to regular breakdowns) guy was running the place.
I went in when the guy was not there.
The equipment bought before were from Germany or USA.
I never stepped foot on Navaloka Hospital except for a VISA medical for my son.
