It began as a routine medical concern for 35-year-old Ujjawal Chaudhary, a team lead at Amazon residing in Rajnagar Extension, Ghaziabad. A minor hernia prompted Ujjawal and his wife, Isha Choudhary, to seek treatment at Yashoda Hospital in Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh. What should have been a simple procedure quickly spiraled into a harrowing experience.
“We got to know through a doctor that this is a hernia condition and there is a small surgery for it, which is very normal,” Isha Choudhary recalled. “After this, we decided that as the children’s summer vacation starts, we would plan to get the surgery done. We asked the doctor to suggest a surgeon and give their contact number. The doctor gave us the number of the Manager of Yashoda Hospital Kaushambi. We contacted the Manager. The Manager told us there would be a normal surgery, and whenever we were comfortable, we could come and he would arrange our consultation with the doctor. After that, the process would be carried out. The Manager told us to come on 23rd May, and that he would arrange our meeting with the doctor. My husband went to the Manager.”
