Ketika kami mengatakan kepadanya bahwa kami tidak puas dengan pekerjaannya, dia menjawab itu adalah masalah kami dan kami bisa pergi ke klinik lain, sementara uang yang telah dibayarkan tidak akan dikembalikan sepenuhnya oleh rumah sakit.\n\nNgomong-ngomong, sebelum kami membayar $6000 di kasir rumah sakit, semua orang sangat sopan kepada kami, termasuk penerjemah Dzhey, dan berjanji akan melakukan operasi keesokan harinya, tetapi setelah pembayaran, seolah-olah semuanya berubah menjadi kasar, terutama Dzhey. Mereka menunda operasi sebisa mungkin meskipun pasien merasakan sakit yang luar biasa. Ada penerjemah lain bernama Ishwar, orang yang menyenangkan dengan pengetahuan bahasa Rusia yang baik. Kami menginginkannya, tetapi entah mengapa kami tidak diizinkan, selain itu kami mendengar bahwa dia dilarang membantu kami dan dia berhenti menjawab panggilan kami. Jadi, jika Anda datang ke India untuk perawatan, lebih baik pergi ke klinik lain, tetapi jika Anda tetap datang ke Artemis, ketika diberi penerjemah, jangan pernah menyetujui layanan penerjemah DZHEY!","en":"Never come to the Artemis Clinic, treating patients is not worth the money paid, especially beware of an interpreter named Zhey. Firstly, he has very poor Russian language, never translates as it should, moreover, he was not present after the operation, while the patient was in intensive care, appeared three days after the operation with an invoice for payment in excess of the previously agreed amount. When we told him that his work did not suit us, he replied that these were our problems and we could go to another clinic, and the hospital would not fully refund the money paid to us. By the way, before we paid $ 6000 to the cash desk of the hospital, everyone was very polite with us including the interpreter Jay, and promised that they would take us to the operation the next day, but after payment it was as if everyone had changed, they started to be rude and rude especially to Zhey. They pulled the operation as best they could despite the terrible pain of the patient. Another translator, Ishvar, was a pleasant person with good knowledge of the Russian language. We wanted him, but for some reason we were not allowed, besides we heard that he was forbidden to help us and he already stopped answering our calls. So if you came to India for treatment it’s better to go to another clinic, but if you did come to Artemis when they will provide you with an interpreter, in no case do you agree to the services of an interpreter JAY!"},"order":{"operation":{"id":291,"name":{"id":"Laminektomi","en":"Laminectomy"}},"illness":{"id":2773,"name":{"id":"Stenosis spinal","en":"Spinal stenosis"}}},"doctor_info":{"id":770,"name":"Aditya Gupta ","alias":"aditya-gupta"},"clinic_info":{"id":72,"name":"Artemis Hospitals","alias":"artemis-health-institute","flags":[{"name":"is_hide","value":false},{"name":"has_active_agencies","value":false}]},"created_at":"2020-03-13T12:15:06.000+00:00","flags":[{"name":"is_approved","value":true},{"name":"is_anonymously","value":false},{"name":"is_notification_sent","value":true},{"name":"would_recommend","value":false},{"name":"has_client_feedback","value":true},{"name":"deactivated_clinic","value":false}],"comment_about_bookimed":{"id":"Tidak ada","en":"No"}},{"id":6426,"user":{"id":160500,"name":"Mohammad ","country_code":"AF"},"ratings":[{"name":"main","value":1},{"name":"comfort","value":1},{"name":"coordination","value":1},{"name":"doctor","value":1},{"name":"manager","value":0},{"name":"personal","value":1},{"name":"translation","value":4},{"name":"relative_price","value":3}],"text":{"id":"Berhati-hatilah dengan perkiraan biaya khususnya di bagian internasional.
