Indifference of IGMC docs
Shimla, March 25 For 26-year-old Nepali labourer, Raju, who suffered brain haemorrhage after he fell at work, today’s experience at the IGMC couldn’t have been more traumatic. The indifference of the doctors can be gauged from the fact that the attendants of the patient were told that Raju was being referred to Chandigarh as the neurosurgeon, Dr R.C. Thakur at the IGMC was on one-month leave. The doctors on duty even gave it in writing to the attendants that the neuro surgeon was on leave while he was very much in the hospital at that point of time. Raju was referred to the IGMC from Mandi zonal hospital, where he was brought yesterday after he fell from a retaining wall while at work in his village, Gehra in Dharampur sub-division of Mandi district. Hailing from Nepal, Raju who has no family members or relatives was brought here by some locals who wanted to save him. He suffered brain haemorrhage due to serious head injury and has fractured his arm, besides other minor injuries. Despite Raju being in a critical condition, who has also been getting fits every now and then, doctors at the IGMC did not attend to him. When some other people present in the hospital requested the doctors to attend to Raju, they were told that they should not bother much. Instead of examining Raju, who was brought to the IGMC at 6 am today, resident doctors at the IGMC decided to refer him to PGI, Chandigarh, knowing very well that neither he has the means nor attendants to take him there. Despite an ambulance being there in the hospital, request by the attendants to the Red Cross for the ambulance to take Raju to Chandigarh were also turned down saying that it was not available. It was only when the people present in hospital raised a hue and cry about the insensitivity and uncaring attitude of the doctors that Raju was admitted to unit III of General Surgery under Dr Anil Malhotra after the intervention of the Medical Superintendent. The Principal of IGMC, Dr Surender Kashyap, when contacted, said that that he would look into the matter as it was very wrong on the part of the doctors to behave in such an irresponsible manner.
