Bhagalpur: In an unfortunate incident, Union Minister Ashwini Choubey's brother Nirmal Choubey died of alleged medical negligence at the JLN Medical College and Hospital (JLNMCH) in Bihar's Bhagalpur on Friday night. Choubey’s relatives alleged that there was no single doctor in the ICU, following which two doctors were suspended.
Relatives of Choubey claimed that he died because of negligence.
“Patient was brought in critical condition. It was found that he had suffered a massive heart attack. The senior doctor administered the required medicine. He was then shifted to ICU but there was no doctor there. I suspended 2 doctors,” Dr Asim Kr Das, hospital Superintendent said.
“We will do an investigation, whenever we get a complaint. We will take action against anyone who was negligent. Action will be taken against them too (aggrieved) if they create a ruckus causing the doctors to flee,” Bhagalpur City DSP Ajay Kumar Chaudhar said.
“He felt physical discomfort & we rushed him here. There was no doctor. ICU is without a doctor,” said Chandan, a relative of Choubey.
Bhagalpur City DSP Ajay Kumar Chaudhary SAID, “We will do an investigation, whenever we get a complaint. We will take action against anyone who was negligent. Action will be taken against them too (aggrieved) if they create a ruckus causing the doctors to flee.”
Further details awaited.
As per a recent media report in TOI, City Dy SP Ajay Kumar Choudhary warned of stern action against the negligent doctors and even appealed to the people not to create ruckus in the ICU since that could leave the life of other patients admitted there in trouble. “If any ruckus take place, the doctors will flee from the ICU which means the patients will start dying. So, we appeal to them to maintain calm or we will initiate action against them,” the Dy SP warned.
