Kanpur: Tension prevailed at the LPS Institute of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery in Kanpur after a patient admitted for chest pain died during treatment. The patient's kin alleges that the death was due to the doctor's negligence.
Following the complaint, the Director of Cardiology, Dr Rakesh Verma has formed a five-member team to investigate the allegations. After two days, the team will submit the report and further action will be taken.
The deceased, identified as Chandrapal Nishad from Fatehpur district, had complained of chest pain three days ago, following which he was admitted to the LPS Institute of Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery in Kanpur. Chandrapal died on Friday evening.
