Kota Shocker: Doctors allegedly operate on paralysed father instead of injured son

He was shocked to find stitches on his father after coming out of the OT. The patient said, "I was in the operation theatre. I dont know what happened, but there are 5-6 stitches on him..."

Mentioning that he does not remember anything about the doctor who operated on him, the patient further added, "I dont remember the name of the doctor who operated on me... I am also lying around in this condition. What can I do?..."

Taking cognisance of the matter, the Principal of the institute, Dr. Saxena, has ordered an inquiry. He told ANI, ".. I have asked the superintendent to form a committee and submit a report within 2-3 days. They have formed a three-member committee... They will inquire and inform what happened..."

NDTV has reported that the incident of alleged negligence by the medical staff happened on 12th April. As per the Daily, in the cardiothoracic and vascular surgery department of the hospital, a dialysis fistula had to be made in a patient's hand. Reportedly, an attendant with the same name as the concerned patient was sitting outside the operation theatre in the hospital, and the plastic surgery department was operating on the attendant's son. 

When the staff came outside the operation theatre and called out, this attendant named Jagdish raised his hand. After this, the staff took him inside, and an incision was made in his hand to create a fistula. However, after the doctors administered anaesthesia and were in the initial process of the surgery, they realised that there had been a mix-up. So, they put stitches in the area of the incision and left him near his son's ward.
