5 years after performing a c-section on a patient, doctors associated with the prestigious Government Medical College Kozhikode (GMC Kozhikode) have found themselves under the scanner, after a "mosquito artery forceps" was recently removed from the stomach of the patient. While the hospital doctors have denied any missing forceps after the surgery 5 years ago, drawing attention to the patient's earlier surgeries, the state Health Minister Veena George has now ordered an inquiry into the matter.
A 30-year-old patient has filed a complaint against Government Medical College doctors, here for leaving forceps inside her abdomen after a caesarean five years ago. Health Minister Veena George has ordered an inquiry and asked the Health Secretary to submit a report soon.
