Protests erupt after 50-year-old dies during treatment
Medical Negligence
Medak: A 50-year-old man died while undergoing treatment at a private nursing home in Toopran, with his relatives accusing a male nurse of carrying out duties that are typically reserved for a doctor.
The deceased, identified as a resident of Shivvampet, was reportedly admitted to Raghavendra Nursing Home on Sunday morning after complaining of severe stomach pain.
According to Telangana Today, however, the relatives alleged it was a male nurse who treated him in the absence of the doctors.
Tragically, the patient passed away just a few hours after being admitted to the hospital. The relatives, devastated by the loss, staged a protest outside the nursing home, demanding accountability for the incident. They alleged that had a qualified doctor been present, the outcome could have been different.
