Treatment from failed 2nd year MBBS student results into heart patient death
In an alleged case of medical negligence in Kerala, a man who had not completed his second year of MBBS treated a heart patient, resulting in the patient's death. The Kerala Police arrested the "unqualified" resident medical officer (RMO) following the death of the 60-year-old heart patient, Vinod Kumar, at a private hospital in Kozhikode district.
The incident, which occurred on September 23, sparked outrage upon revelations that the medical officer, Abu Abraham Luke, had not finished his medical education.
