MP: Following Patient Death, Family attempts to set Funeral Pyre at MY Hospital Premises Alleging Medical Negligence
Indore: Family members of a 16-year-old boy created a ruckus at the government-run Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital (MYH) and tried to set up his funeral pyre after his death post-surgery. They alleged that the boy died due to the wrong injection being administered to him.
Irate kin of a 16-year-old boy tried to set up his funeral pyre in a government hospital in Indore in Madhya Pradesh after alleging that he died due to a wrong injection.
Piyush Kashyap alias Prem died on Thursday after he was operated in the ear at the government-run Maharaja Yashwantrao Hospital (MYH), Sanyogitaganj police station in-charge Vijay Tiwari told PTI.
"His family members alleged the Class 11 standard student died due to a wrong injection being administered to him. The cause of death is not clear and the deceased's kin have not given us his medical papers," he said.
As per a media report in Free Press Journal, the doctors said they would perform a minor surgery to remove it. The surgery was performed on Thursday and our patient was healthy even after the surgery as he was walking in the wards,” the family members said adding “Suddenly, a nurse came to the patient and administered him an injection after which his body turned blue and cold.
Eyewitnesses said Kashyap's kin tried to set up a pyre with wood and cow dung cakes on the MYH premises, but the police managed to pacify them.
His last rites were later held in the crematorium here, they said.
Meanwhile, the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) department of MYH issued a press statement saying Kashyap's ear surgery was successful and that there was no negligence in his treatment.
Tiwari said a probe is underway in Kashyap's death.
