Mount Everest conqueror Kalpana Dash, who is now undergoing treatment at the SCB Medical College Hospital here, has brought serious allegations against the treating doctors apprehending that an attempt is being made to bring an end to her mountaineering career.
Admitted in the hospital on Monday night in critical condition for severe pain in abdomen, Kalpana, also a lawyer, on Wednesday claimed that she is being asked to undergo a surgery by the doctors without revealing anything about her ailment.
“When the diagnosis process is underway and most of my clinical reports are found to be normal, why is the surgery professor insisting me to go under the scalpel in a hurry for no detected ailmentIJ” Kalpana demanded to know, saying she apprehended a foul play.
The 47-year-old mountaineer further alleged that when she refused to undergo any surgical corrections without proper diagnosis, the doctors in taunted voice asked her to sign in the ‘risk bond’ and ill-treated her.
When contacted over telephone, Hospital Superintendent Shyama Kanungo refuted the allegations made by Kalpana, saying nothing of that has happened and no doctor has asked her to undergo any surgical correction.
“When the patient has not been properly diagnosed and we are waiting for few more reports of her clinical tests, how someone can ask her to undergo a process of surgeryIJ” Kanungo questioned and asserted that best treatment is being given to the patient free of cost.
