Kolkata: The dreams of a young man from Bihar of joining the Indian Army lay shattered after he lost sensation in his left hand owing to "medical negligence" following a surgery performed by a doctor in Kolkata, his family claimed.
Muzzafarpur resident Rajan Sharma, 20, arrived in Kolkata in January for a surgery following a broken elbow bone. Mr Sharma has undergone three procedures since then under the supervision of two doctors affiliated to two top state-run city hospitals.
"I was preparing for my physical examination after clearing the written one, to join the Army. I was running and I slipped and fell and fractured the bone in my left arm. The first two surgeries were done by a doctor of NRS Medical College and Hospital while the third one was at Calcutta Medical College. After the first surgery in January, I started losing sensation in my fingers and gradually my hand became numb," Mr Sharma told a local television channel in Kolkata.
