A 61-year-old woman was rushed to a multi-specialty hospital early one morning with severe chest pain, vomiting, and burning in the chest. She was admitted to the emergency ward at 8:25 AM. An ECG was performed within minutes.
Her family alleges that the ECG showed signs of acute coronary syndrome — but nothing was communicated, and no urgent treatment was initiated.
She was moved to a ward and given routine medications. By 11:00 AM, another physician examined her and prescribed further investigations — including an ECHO, chest X-ray, blood tests, and bone density scanning. But no cardiologist was called.
