Tension prevailed on the premises of the Gurudev Hospital here on Tuesday night when a woman patient’s relatives and locals manhandled doctors of the hospital alleging medical negligence.
As per reports, the patient Aiswarya Singh Deo (24) was admitted to the hospital after she complained of stomachache in the evening. After examining her, the doctor said she was having appendicitis and carried out an operation. But the woman died while being taken out of the operation theatre.
“We brought Aiswarya to Gurudev Hospital at 6.30 pm. According to Dr Pravat Panigrahy, she was having appendicitis and suggested for an operation. But she died as the doctors gave her high doses of anesthesia causing her cardiac arrest. This is because of the negligence of doctors,” said a relative of the deceased woman.
Though the concerned doctor was not available, a woman doctor of the hospital said Aiswarya was a chronic patient of bronchial asthma and used to take inhalers. “When she was taken out of OT, she collapsed after some time,” the woman doctor said.
Worth mentioning, two months back another patient died at the private hospital reportedly under similar circumstances.
Later, police personnel were deployed in the hospital premises to prevent any further flare-up.
