Shocking Case Of Medical Negligence In Gurugram: Patient's Left Kidney Punctured Instead Of Right
Yet another shocking case of
medical negligence came to fore in Gurugram where the doctors risked the life
of a patient in an attempt to hide their folly. The doctors punctured the left
kidney of a patient, who was diagnosed with stones in her right kidney.
Having realised their mistake,
the surgeon then operated her right kidney to remove the kidney stone. Due to
the callousness of the hospital and the patient started bleeding profusely but
the hospital administration continued to hide the entire issue until the case
went out of their hands. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the family
members of patient shifted to another hospital Medanta, the family was shocked
to know about Pushpanjali hospital's blunder and their attempts to cover up.
The patient, Sheela Devi - who is
a resident of Rohtak - and her husband registered a complaint with the police
and the Health Minister of Haryana about the gross medical negligence and
sought justice.
Sheela Devi's husband Ajay Kumar,
who is an advocate by profession, informed that his wife was admitted to
Pushpanjali Hospital (Gurugram) on May 27, 2019, after she was diagnosed with a
stone in her right kidney. On May 28, Dr SP Yadav said that they'll perform an
endoscopy to remove the stone.
Ajay Kumar has alleged that her
wife was operated by Dr SP Yadav's wife and not him. "The lady doctor was
completely unaware about the medical condition of the patient and she punctured
the left kidney instead of right. While her husband was continually busy on
mobile phone and didn't even care to have a look at the patient. Having
realised her folly, their doctors then punctured the right kidney of my wife
and quickly performed the surgery and removed the stone. According to medical
practitioners, both the kidneys couldn't be operated at the same time because
it is risk-prone but the doctors here played with the life of my wife to cover
up their blunder."
"Moreover, when my wife came
out of the operation theatre she was bleeding profusely to which Dr SP Yadav
said it happened by mistake and he assured they'll take care of it. Later, they
took the patient again to the operation theatre and a stent was inserted in her
kidney but that worsened things. Her stomach started swelling and when her
condition got out of their control, they referred us to Medanta Hospital.
"The doctors at Medanta
Medicity revealed us about the negligence performed during the surgery in the
first place. The surgeons here informed that both the kidneys should not be
touched upon at the same time during a surgery hence the doctors at Pushpanjali
risked the life of the patient," he complained further.
The victim has now submitted a
complaint to the Commissioner of Police, Health Minister (Haryana), Chief
Minister, and Medical Council of India and requested to investigate the entire
matter.
The victim has also registered a
complaint with Chief Minister Grievances Redress and Monitoring Cell in
Haryana. The concerned office has assured that they have taken cognizance of
the matter and are looking into it.
