"I arrived at the hospital around 3 pm the same day. Doctors treating the nurse asked me to shift her to a better hospital. Accordingly, I shifted her to another hospital in Hebbal the same night. But I was unable to bear the expenses and, therefore, shifted her to a government hospital in Anantapur on August 21. She died on August 29," the nurse's mother, Kantamma Naik, mentioned in her complaint.
