Kota: A shocking case of medical negligence has come to light in Rajasthan's Kota. A man has alleged that his paralysed father was mistakenly operated on by doctors at the Kota Medical College. The man himself was the patient and was undergoing treatment for the injuries he suffered due to an accident.
The patient, identified as Manish, met with an accident and was admitted to the hospital for surgery, which was scheduled for Saturday. According to Manish, he had called his paralysed father to the hospital.
Recounting the incident, Manish said, “I met with an accident and got hurt. I called my father. My father is paralysed, and there is no one to look after. I was to be operated on Saturday, so I asked my father to sit and wait outside the operation theatre... I was in the operation theatre. I don’t know what happened, but there are 5-6 stitches on him.”
Visibly distressed, Manish also claimed he was unsure about which doctor was involved in the surgery. “I don’t even remember the name of the doctor who operated on me. I am also lying here in this condition. What can I do?” he said.
The Principal of Kota Medical College Hospital Dr. Sangeeta Saxena has asked the superintendent to form a committee and submit a report within 2-3 days. “They have formed a three-member committee... They will inquire and inform about what happened,” she said.
