MKCG Superintendent Durga Madhab Satapathy told TOI that Dr. Sabat had already passed away by the time he reached the hospital.
Notably, doctors between the ages of 30–45 are increasingly becoming vulnerable to heart-related issues. Factors like long working hours, immense pressure, sedentary lifestyles, and poor eating habits contribute to conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol, which in turn raise the risk of heart attacks and cardiac arrests.
This marks the fifth such case in the past week of doctors succumbing to cardiovascular complications.
Medical Dialogues recently reported a series of tragic incidents involving the sudden deaths of four doctors. Dr Gradlin Roy, a 39-year-old consultant cardiac surgeon at Saveetha Medical College, died from massive cardiac arrest while on duty rounds. Similarly, 40-year-old Dr. Prakash Gupta, an anaesthesia specialist at Goyal Hospitals in Jodhpur, also succumbed to cardiac arrest. A 39-year-old Dr Gaurav Mittal, a critical care specialist and Dr Devan, a 42-year-old associate professor from the cardiology department at Manakula Vinayaga Medical College, both passed away following massive heart attacks.
