Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare but life-threatening complication during childbirth. As a result, it is expected that the doctor suffered a sudden respiratory condition and could not be saved.
Medical Dialogues had earlier reported that the medical community is facing a worrying trend as several young doctors have recently succumbed to sudden cardiac arrest. Despite their dedication to saving lives, these healthcare professionals are falling victim to the very conditions they treat. The latest tragedy involves an associate professor from the cardiology department at Manakula Vinayaga Medical College, who passed away at just 42 years old.
This incident follows the recent deaths of other young doctors, including a critical care specialist and an anaesthesia expert who died in their late 30s and early 40s. Another cardiac surgeon also tragically passed away during hospital rounds due to a massive cardiac arrest. Experts attribute these fatalities to relentless work hours, high stress levels, sleep deprivation, and poor lifestyle habits common among doctors. The series of losses has sparked a crucial conversation about the urgent need to prioritise doctors' health and well-being.
