A poor girl from Burla township undergoing treatment in VIMSAR is now struggling for life due to the wrong treatment of the doctors there.
Following a boil on her face, she came for treatment. Doctors diagnosed it to be Haemangioma. And in the OPD ward of the ENT department, the doctors gave her an injection that ultimately didn’t suit her and reacted to severe extent.
“The reaction was so acute that it even led to tissue death immediately,” admitted Superintendent of VIMSAR Dr Jayashree Dora.
“But the mistake, if any, is purely accidental and a committee has been formed to inquire into the entire incident,” Dr Dora added. She further said that for further improved treatment she has been referred to SCB Medical College, Cuttack, but her family members have opted for Kalinga Hospital at Bhubaneswar and medical authorities here are considering their request.
“In Kalinga Hospital, plastic surgery will be done to her and she is sure to improve,” she said.
However, the doctors and the Superintendent further admitted the incident to be totally unfortunate but never intentional as no patient was an enemy before a doctor.
But there is growing resentment against the doctors from the family members and the public at large who blame that the casual approach of the doctors and particularly of Dr Ipsita Panda and Dr Sujata Panda caused such pitiable situation for a poor girl.
