Mrs. Singh had a recurring problem of kidney stones. She underwent a Lithotripsy procedure in the year 2008 and again in 2010. The second Lithotripsy however, was lucky neither for Mrs. Singh nor for Dr. Gupta who performed it.

Mrs. Parveen approached Dr. Abha at her nursing home with complain of stomach pain and bleeding. The doctor advised an ultrasound that reported 'missed abortion'. Dr. Abha performed abortion the next day and asked the patient to rest for a few days.

Matadeen visited Dr. Kedia as he had aswelling on his neck. The doctor advised and performed a surgery for the thyroid gland and discharged him five days later. Specimen from the surgery was sent for biopsy that shockingly revealed Anaplastic Small Round Cell Carcinoma.

Krishna Kumar, a simple villager, accidently fell down from a considerable height which resulted in spinal injury and fracture in both his legs. 

Padmavathi was suffering from recurring abdominal pain and uterine bleeding. She underwent a Trans Abdominal Hysterectomy (TAH) which was performed by Dr. Vijayendra, but a week after the surgery she suffered abdominal pain and urinary obstruction.
