New Delhi: Police complaints have been filed against two private hospitals in Delhi after a 36-year-old woman academician from Assam died of blood infection and heart attack allegedly after undergoing wrong surgery without proper facilities.
According to the police complaint, Anamika Ray, an assistant professor of Gauhati University, was admitted to the city-based Navjeevan Hospital for a minimal access surgery of gall bladder on July 17.
Ankuran Dutta, the deceased woman's husband who works in K.K. Handiqui State Open University, alleged that the doctors neither performed an ultrasound nor saw the reports of similar tests done before to exactly locate the gall bladder.
"The protocol of the surgery was not performed. After the surgery was performed, I was all of a sudden told by the doctor that the patient had suffered a heart attack and blood pressure had come down. Even in such a situation, there was no cardiologist in the hospital to check my wife due to which my wife was left at the operation theatre without any doctor from 11 a.m. to 7.30 p.m," Dutta said in the police complaint, a copy of which is with IANS.
