Doctor leaves bandage in patient's abdomen post surgery, booked after death of patient

Mahendra Saini, a resident of Imliwala Mohalla of the Amroha Dehat police station area, had admitted his wife to Paisal Nursing Home on 21 November 2022. Radha's gall bladder was operated on in this hospital located in Pirgarh of the city. After seven days she was discharged, but there was no improvement in Radha's health after the operation, reports the NavBharat Times.

Officials said even after the operation, she could not get relief and she went back to the same hospital.

However, after a few days when there was still no relief, her kin took her to another private hospital in Bijnor where a CT scan was done, which the family alleged, showed the bandage in the abdomen.

Angered over the issue, the locals staged a protest on the streets demanding action against the doctor. They alleged that the woman died due to the medical negligence of the surgeon.

“A post-mortem examination under videography was done. The probe committee will now study the documents related to treatment, the need for the operation, the CT scan report, and the post-mortem report and submit a final report," Dr Rajiv told HT.

Further action will be decided based on the probe report.
