Govt Doctor suspended for negligence after injecting patient's wrong eye
In a shocking case of alleged medical negligence, a senior ophthalmologist at the Government Eye Hospital in Thiruvananthapuram has been suspended for administering an injection to the wrong eye of a patient. The suspension of the Assistant Professor was confirmed by the office of the Director of Medical Education (DME) and comes amid an ongoing investigation into the incident.
The patient, Assor Beevi, a resident of Beemapally, had been undergoing treatment for vision problems linked to high blood pressure. She was supposed to receive an injection in her left eye to address a vein swelling. However, during the procedure, the injection was mistakenly administered in her right eye.
