New Delhi: Holding no Infirmity with the Delhi Medical Council (DMC) order, the Medical Council of India (MCI) recently upheld the state medical council's decision of suspending two doctors for a period of 15 days.
The case concerned a renowned academician from the North East- Dr Anamika Ray and goes back to 2015 when she was admitted to as admitted to the city-based Navjeevan Hospital for a minimal access surgery of gall bladder.
She had undergone a gallbladder surgery on July 17, 2015, at Delhi's Navjeevan Hospital where she was allegedly left unattended for several hours after the doctors said the patient suffered a cardiac arrest during the surgery. Her husband further alleged that the doctors neither performed an ultrasound nor saw the reports of similar tests done before to exactly locate the gall bladder.
"The protocol of the surgery was not performed. After the surgery was performed, I was all of a sudden told by the doctor that the patient had suffered a heart attack and blood pressure had come down. Even in such a situation, there was no cardiologist in the hospital to check my wife due to which my wife was left at the operation theatre without any doctor from 11 a.m. to 7.30 p.m", the complainant had alleged at that time.
