[Teh One Who Knocks]

India Today Staff




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.

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.
