1st year MBBS student from GMC Anantapur drowns in pond
Anantapur: In a tragic incident, a young MBBS medico from Anantapur Government Medical College, Andhra Pradesh, died while bathing in a pond in Garladinne Mandal, in the state.
The deceased was identified as a first-year MBBS student at the Anantapur Government Medical College.
He had gone on a picnic with his friends on Tuesday.
According to police, he did not know how to swim, yet he went into the water and drowned. Meanwhile, the Garladin police registered a case based on the parents' complaint and the body was sent for post-mortem to GGH Anantapur, reports Deccan Chronicle.
Last year, Medical Dialogues had reported a similar case where a group picnic turned into an unfortunate tragedy for a young junior doctor from Ranchi’s Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), who lost his life while bathing at Perwaghagh Waterfall in Khunti district.
The deceased, a 23-year-old doctor, was bathing at the waterfall when a sudden surge in the water flow swept him away. Even though he was rescued by his fellow doctors, his condition was critical. Sadly, he suffered a cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital and could not be saved.
Dr Khalkho was one of four junior doctors who were caught in the strong current while bathing. While the other three were rescued safely, Dr Khalkho's condition was too severe, and despite efforts to save him, he passed away.
He was part of a group picnic involving 21 junior doctors from RIMS. The group had gone for a day trip to the scenic spot, Perwaghagh Waterfall, located about 82 km from Ranchi. The situation turned tragic when the group was enjoying themselves, and at that time, the water current suddenly became strong between 2 and 3 PM, leading to the death of the doctor.
