Why this kolaveri di? 3 nurses suspended for making reels in Hospital OT

Raipur: Three nurses were dismissed from service for allegedly filming reels in the operation theatre of a Dau Kalyan Singh PG Institute and Research Centre in Raipur in Chhattisgarh and sharing them on social media. 

The services of Pushpa Sahu, Tripti Dasar and Tej Kumari, who were daily wage staff nurses at Dau Kalyan Singh PG Institute and Research Centre Raipur, were terminated on February 23 after a complaint was received against them, said facility deputy superintendent Dr Hemant Sharma. 

On February 5, reels shot by the trio inside the operation theatre of the burn and plastic surgery unit came to the notice of the Assistant Nursing Superintendent following which higher authorities were informed, he said.

“Clicking pictures and making reels inside operation theatres is against rules. The nurses are also seen wearing shoes and sandals that they usually wear outside the OT. They allegedly misbehaved with the ward incharge when she objected to their act,” he said.

In one of the two reels shared by the hospital management, the three nurses, wearing green dresses used in operation theatres, are seen dancing holding surgical items to songs like ‘first rahu mai dar badar’ and ‘why this kolaveri di’.

Speaking to media persons, Hemant Sharma posted as the deputy superintendent of the hospital said that as soon the video went viral, a complaint was lodged against them, and they were terminated soon after, reports HT.
