Coimbatore: A gynaecologist and a private hospital, recently faced the heat of the public after the family of a patient staged a protest outside the hospital premises, accusing the gynaecologist of not being present personally to treat a labour patient, instead of guiding the treatment via WhatsApp as the nursing staff of the hospital provided the delivery treatment. The family has filed a complaint with the local police and is also planning to approach the state medical council
The gynaecologist, on the other hand, rubbished the accusations, stating that it was she who performed the delivery and not the nursing staff
The case concerned a 26-year-old patient, who was admitted to a newly constructed private hospital in the area on 30th May,2019. The family of the patient alleged that the doctor did not see the patient, rather instructed the nurses the relevant treatment based on WhatsApp pictures
