In yet another case of medical negligence in Uttar Pradesh, the severed leg of a victim was allegedly used at Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College in Jhansi as a pillow to prop him up.

The victim claimed that hospital staff used his amputated leg under his head as a pillow.

After the case came to light, Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College principal Sadhna Kaushik assured strict action against those found guilty.

"He was given immediate medical aid. The doctor looked for something to raise his head. Patient's attendant used the leg for the same. We've set up a committee. Strict action will be taken if our staff is found to be at fault," she added.

She also informed that a four-member committee was constituted to find out who put the severed leg under the patient's head.

Two doctors and two nurses have been suspended while a departmental enquiry has been ordered against one doctor in the medical negligence case.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma said the state government will take action only once he receives proper information about the incident.

The patient's leg was amputated to prevent an infection from spreading.

doc - Here, we'll just put this bandage on your arm to stop the bleeding.
patient - That's my spleen!
doc - Nonsense, it's a compress.
patient - SPLEEN!
doc - You say tomato, I say more anesthetic..

Guys I worked with showed me the difference. They came from the southwest coast, a community that began with M, and their standard of living was the same or better than ours. Engineers, doctors were common professions there. Then they showed me pictures of slums where millions were living...the type of pictures we associate with the worst of India. The two areas are hundreds of miles apart and night and day.

Yeah, it's hard to believe it's all the same country.

Yeah, it's hard to believe it's all the same country.

Why, just think of all that curry you can eat, and then get the shits....and have to use a hole.

I'm pretty open to travelling most places, but India is not on my bucket list. My boss went there last year. Full 5-star restaurant/hotel treatment, guided tour bus trip the whole way, all that. Even she came back saying everyone was sick, you were hopping over puddles of shit in all the major cities, and it often still felt unsafe even being whisked from 5-star to 5-star by tour guides.

One other anecdote I have... this kid I went to school with is a bit of a world traveller. He goes everywhere, happiest guy I know, just a super positive outlook on life. Anyways, India was the only place that beat the shit out of him. He cut a planned 6-month trip down to a month after being sick as a dog. Guy said he felt awful about bailing on his trip right up until he shit himself in the airport waiting for a flight home... then he knew he was really done with that place :rofl:

I was reading reviews for a small island resort in Cambodia. There was one that featured a married couple, veteran travelers. Both of them and a few other members at the resort got violently ill. They suspected food poisoning but the woman said later it could have been from the water as well.

Summary is they both get so violently ill they can't leave the room for two days. Hubby gets even more sick, to the point he's delirious and dehydrated because he's vomited and shit himself for 48 hours straight. She decides on day two to go back to the mainland and get hubby into a hospital or doctor. For some reason the resort boat taxis are either not there or broken down. She later finds out only two boat taxis, both owners were nowhere to be found and both had engine problems. Owners were too cheap to get another mechanic over to fix.

Long one short, the poor woman and man are literally throwing everything up/shitting all food and water out and could not leave the little island :lol: She makes it sound like a horror movie with plenty of laughs during her story, but when you realize they were literally stuck there for four full days no matter what...and that she suspected all water and food they were being given was contaminated, it got a little creepy.

Damn she made it funny though. "We went to Cambodia, spent over 3 thousand dollars, stayed at a five star resort and each of us lost over 25 pounds! Would go again!" :lol:
