A reputed hospital in this case was found to be on wrong side of the law. It neither maintained records about unavailability of a critical care injection nor could provide the reason why it was not stocked or for that matter, why was patient’s family not advised to purchase it from outside.
The patient was taken to the hospital for medical care. He was prescribed injection Nirmin, but was administered injection Albumin. Few hours later, he suffered a fatal heart attack.
