Tragedy Strikes: Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Amethi Repeat Offender of Medical Negligence, Patient’s Life Lost
Doctor Booked for Medical Negligence after 75-Year-Old Patient Dies at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Amethi
A 75-year-old patient died at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital in Amethi, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions about medical negligence. The Amethi police have booked a doctor for alleged medical negligence, after the patient’s family accused him of performing surgery in an inebriated condition, leading to the patient’s demise.
According to the police, the FIR was lodged on a complaint by the patient’s family, who claimed that Dr. Sanjay Dwivedi, the doctor who performed the surgery, was intoxicated while operating on the patient. However, the hospital authorities have denied the allegations, stating that the patient was being treated by experienced doctors who tried their best to revive him.
The Tragic Story of Shivram Mishra
Shivram Mishra, a 75-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital on Wednesday evening with cardiac problems. He underwent surgery, including angioplasty, and was placed on a ventilator after his condition deteriorated. However, despite the best efforts of the medical team, Mishra passed away at 1:30 am.
The patient’s family claimed that Dr. Dwivedi was inebriated during the surgery, which led to a series of mistakes that ultimately caused the patient’s death. They also alleged that a junior doctor was manhandled by attendants when he went to inform them about the patient’s condition.
Investigation Underway
The police are currently investigating the matter, with a panel of medical experts set to probe the allegations of medical negligence. "We will find out the truth behind the allegations," said Additional Superintendent of Police (Amethi) Harendra Kumar. "The investigation will be conducted in a fair and transparent manner, and the panel of medical experts will provide their findings."
Hospital’s Response
The hospital authorities, however, have denied the allegations, stating that the patient was being treated by experienced doctors, including Dr. Satyendra Tiwari, who performed the angioplasty. They claimed that the patient’s condition deteriorated despite the best efforts of the medical team, and that the hospital has taken adequate measures to address the situation.
Political Reaction
The incident has sparked a political controversy, with Congress leader K. L. Sharma, the MP from Amethi, enquiring about the incident and promising to take action as per the law. He also pointed out that the hospital had initially warned the patient’s attendants not to go for surgery, but they requested the doctors to consider the surgery.
What Happened Next?
After the patient’s condition deteriorated, he was taken to a private hospital in Lucknow, where he was declared dead. The hospital authorities have constituted an internal inquiry into the matter, but the police investigation is ongoing.
The Bottom Line
As the investigation unfolds, the people of Amethi are left wondering if medical negligence did indeed play a role in the tragic death of 75-year-old Shivram Mishra. Questions still linger about why Dr. Dwivedi was allegedly drunk during the surgery, and whether the hospital authorities did enough to prevent such a tragedy from occurring. As the truth behind this controversy comes to light, the people of Amethi demand accountability and justice for the victim and his family.
