Visited a Govt Medical college Hospital in Rajasthan in March, 2026.

I didn't visit the labour room myself, but sharing it from someone who stayed there for multiple days.

My experiences that I would like to share:

1. In the labour room, ladies were screaming in pain as they were going through labour. There were at least 80~90 patients and most of them were sharing beds (sometimes 3 on a bed). The govt hospital (one of the biggest one in my city and I am from TIER-2 city) dont even had adequate beds to support the patient load in labour room.
2. There was only 1 toilet, shared among all ladies in labour room, and you can imagine the state of it, and the queue. It was pathetic, not hygenic at all, like worst of what you can imagine. Dirtiest, not cleaned and obviously some of the ladies dont even know how to use toilet, so the loo are not even flushed. And the smell, oh god. The infrastructure, when it comes to cleanest environment is not even close to average clean environment thats expected. You can brag about building toilets across the countries and the household but the ones in the govt facilities are in such a pathetic state that people would rather piss in open.
   1. Now the public toilets in the hospital premises were not clean either. They are cleaned once a day but you can imagine the state of it. The bathroom in mens washroom were broken, had gutkha spit into them, the taps were leaking, broken, not working.
   2. It was easier and cleaner to go piss (for men) in public and rather than the toilets in the hospital.
   3. The staff toilets (where senior doctors sit in their own private cabin) were clean and shining (obviously).
   4. During labor pain lady was asked to sit on stretcher, the staff (or Bai-ji) didn't even clean the blood on the stretcher from previous delivery (talk about hygiene).
   5. The staff visited my lady like once in 8 hours, ask questions and situation for 5 mins and leave.
   6. People were working in three shifts (8 hours each).
3. Experience on the premises [My own] that I saw during 4-5 days during my time at hospital.

• Saw a dog roaming inside the hospital in front of labour room at a time.
• The staff cleans the hospital floor, room once a day in morning, there are machines used (like we got on airports) and there is a manual brooming done before it. The machines does work pretty decently (+ points to govt for machine based cleaning).
• In the waiting area, there is a huge dome structure and on the grids I saw pigeons sitting and making nests around, and pooping on the floor and the machine I mentioned above did clean it pretty well.
  • There are dogs in hospital premises (outside the hospital buildings), obviously.
    • And you will see dog poops of them, on benches and sitting area.
• People sleep on the floor outside labour room and around ward areas or any empty space in hospital, just like railway stations, etc. I saw even kids sleeping with them.
• At a time, I saw a family of 4 females (in black dress) with 9 kids (yes I counted), they looked to be as small as 2 year old, ranging to 12 year old, mix of both male and female child.
• There were at least 3-4 24*7 eateries and cafeterias in the premises and each of them had a dustbin near them.
  • Some people were attempting to be the best of basketball players and throwing plastic tea cups from far (and failing at it miserably).
  • While some were civic enough and walked to dustbin and dropped the trash properly.
• And there was also Jan Aushadhi store
• The people were feeding dogs on premises, although there was dedicated places to put Rotis (which is emptied every day).
  • I saw when a supply truck came, carrying milk pouches. The delivery guy emptied a milk pouch in the trays which carries these milk pouches and fed milk to dogs in the same tray which carries the milk pouches.
• Saw one of the mother making a child to pee on the land patch near the sitting bench.

How much we paid?

• None. Zero. Even though we are not part of any govt scheme, or didnt apply anything. At time of Discharge, we didnt paid for anything of those treatment, lab tests or medication that hospital gave to lady during the treatment.
  • The only things we paid was for photocopies for Aadhaar, Jan-Aadhar, etc (costed like 20 rs)
  • Pads for bleeding (like 60 rs per packet, we bought 4, so a total of 240 rs)

I wrote this entire piece, to share a reality check of govt hospital we have here in Rajasthan. I do live in a bubble (WFH), and this was a much needed reality check for me and understand where my tax money goes.

If you have any questions, I am happy to answer them.

Hi everyone, using XMR for the first time on system. I did a transaction from exchange address to the wallet of my own (created on system using: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#cli)

I created 10 sub addresses under it, and then I transferred XMR from my exchange wallet to local wallet, however the money is not reflecting when I run refresh/re_scan commands.

The monerod service is running in my system and downloads 150GB of crap while it runs. the transaction is shown as completed in https://localmonero.co/blocks/tx/

However, the money is not reflected since 2 days. What do I do?

The wallet/the seed/subaddress everything looks correct, and even I set the height of block as zero.

what do I do to reflect the amount in my local wallet?
