Hysterectomy Instead of ENT Surgery! 2 doctors Suspended, banned from private practice
Govt Suspends Two Doctors for Medical Negligence
Srinagar: Taking serious cognizance of the alleged botched surgery, the Jammu and Kashmir Government has suspended two doctors who were accused of medical negligence by mistakenly removing the uterus of a patient, who had been admitted for an ENT surgery.
Issuing an order, the Government suspended Dr. Nazir, consultant Gynaecologist at SDH Sopore, and Dr. Dar, the Medical Officer (Diploma in Anaesthesia), DH Bandipora. The operation theatre of the private hospital in Sopore was also sealed after the alleged incident, Kashmir Reader has reported.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported how a Kashmir-based doctor had been accused of allegedly removing a woman's uterus instead of performing an ENT surgery at Hakeem Sonuallah Hospital in Sopore.
Soon, the news of the botched surgery went viral on social media and resulted in widespread public outrage with activists and residents demanding a lifetime ban on the doctor's private practice.
Consequently, the Health Department took cognizance of the issue. It started investigating the matter and a team of officials also raided the concerned hospital to investigate the allegations made against the doctor.
