During the surgery, the patient's health deteriorated after he was given blood. Later after confronting the doctor, it was revealed that the patient was given AB-positive blood instead of B-positive blood.
Witnessing his father in critical condition, Pawan discharged his father from the hospital and admitted him to another private hospital in Mohali on August 6 but his condition there was the same. No improvement was observed. Pawan then again re-admitted his father back to the Karnal hospital on August 6 evening. Unfortunately, he died during his treatment at the hospital.
Angered by the situation, the family members of the hospital refused to take his body. They accused the doctor and the hospital staff of medical negligence against the patient and filed a complaint at the police station.
The police station in-charge Manoj Kumar told Jagran that the postmortem of the dead body has been conducted by the board. The exact cause of death will be known after getting the report.
However, after the manhandling case in the hospital, a case has been registered by the Sadar police against five persons. The police are further investigating the matter.
