Dear Client,

Patients have a fundamental right, according to the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, to receive complete information from hospitals on medical expenses and treatment.  you can do price comparison with other hospitals if you have information from any other hospital, inquire about the generic medicines and check with the central government's price list for tests and medicines. patient can ask for the previous conduct, record and expertise of the doctor. patient can ask for the medical records and documents from the hospitals. as long as it does not breech the doctor/patient confidentiality. After you fill lots of papers at the legal department, and the surgeon does not mind been filmed. You can film all you wish. patients can ask for the compensation if anything wrong happens in the surgery. hospital can not stop you from taking patient to another hospital. it is called discharge against medical advice. 

any hospital that receives federal funding must grant equal visitation privileges to all visitors, regardless of whether they're legally or biologically related to the patient.

Hospitals can still restrict visitation to certain hours, limit the number of visitors, or deny access to patients based on safety concerns. hospitals holds patients as hostages if the bill is unpaid which is illegal. you can ask for the bills and reason for the extra expenses.

So many questions.

One minimum attendant is required as per rules and even hospital will ask for that for their safety.

Then its on the wisdom of attendant to come under various pressure to act the way hospital want. 

The discharge summary will contain all details. Also take all reports also. Check and confirm this.

You can not refuse to pay but later you can approach consumer court for refund.
