IVF patients are intelligent enough to know that not all IVF clinics are created equal.
If you
want to be able to find the best IVF doctor for your treatment, they know they
need to ask questions to check how competent the clinic is.
These
generic questions include:
How
many IVF cycles have you done to date ?
How
many IVF cycle do you do every year ?
|What
is your success rate ?
The sad reality is that IVF clinics will often lie , and they make all kinds of tall claims regarding their success rates. They inflate these as much as they like, and it’s is impossible for anyone to prove they are lying, which is why they can afford to get away with quoting ridiculously high success rates such as 80% , which is clearly ridiculous !
Sadly,
because they are not answerable to anyone, no one can challenge them , and they
continue getting away with being able to take patients for a ride .
This
puts patients in an extremely difficult situation , who therefore learns not to
trust any IVF clinic, and treats all their claims with a large pinch of salt.
After
all, how do you know if the IVF doctor sitting in front of you is a good doctor
or a bad doctor , when they all say the same thing ?
After
all, if you didn’t think they were good, you would never have gone to them in
the first place ?
This
is a terrible situation for patients – and a for the good IVF clinics as well, because
the malpractices which bad IVF clinics indulge in end up giving all IVF clinics
a bad reputation .
And once
a patient has a bad experience in a bad IVF clinic , they lose confidence in
all IVF clinics , and refuse to take treatment anymore , because the burnt
child dreads the fire .
This
is where one would have hoped that the government would step in and establish
regulations, in order to check these malpractices, and stop bad IVF clinics
from taking patients for a ride .
However,
this has not happened .
In other parts of the world such as the USA, medical associations of IVF specialists
have been responsible for self-regulation , but unfortunately that hasn't
happened in India , because most IVF doctors have large egos , and are not very
interested in cooperating to make sure that patients get the best possible IVF
care , because they are too busy competing among themselves in order to make
the most money.
Please do your research before selecting an IVF clinic - this can make a world of a difference to whether you end up with a baby to take home !
