আজকাল ডাক্তারের কাছে গেলেই প্রথমে শরীরের অবস্থা জানতে ব্লাড টেস্ট সহ একাধিক রিপোর্ট করতে বলে। আর সেই মত আমরা লোকাল ডায়াগনস্টিক সেন্টার গিয়ে টেস্ট করাই। কিন্তু এই সমস্ত ডায়াগনস্টিক সেন্টারে আদেও কী ঠিকঠাক মত টেস্ট করানো হয় সেই নিয়েই প্রশ্ন রয়েছে। কেন না বেশির ভাগ রিপোর্ট ভুল আসে। আর সেই রিপোর্ট দেখেই চিকিৎসা করতে গিয়ে ভুল ভ্রান্তি হয়, আর তাতে করে জীবন শেষ হয়ে যেতে পারে।
তেমনই একটি ঘটনা সামনে এসেছে। রক্তের রিপোর্ট ভুল করার অভিযোগ এক ডায়াগনস্টিক সেন্টারে বিরুদ্ধে। এরই জেরে কিডনি প্রতিস্থাপন না করতে পেরে শেষ হওয়ার অবস্থা।
