IIPM Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri on Internet Hooliganism
"My father was suffering from high blood pressure but the doctors at the hospital ignored it and followed a faulty drug administration procedure," Sibasish Pradhan, son of Odissi dance maestro Gangadhar Pradhan, alleged soon after his father's death at Apollo Hospital, Bhubaneswar. He accused the doctors of wilful negligence and has lodged a police complaint. The 62-year-old Odissi exponent was admitted in the hospital on October 2. However, Apollo’s chief executive officer, Pankaj Mankad, denied allegations of neglect. He said that the doctors had tried their best to save the guru, with a team of experts attending on him. But Pradhan's relatives and son refused to buy this argument. “My father was admitted with complaints of chest pain and headache . The doctors first conducted an angioplasty and then performed a surgery. His condition deteriorated soon after and subsequently he died,” complained Sibasish.
Subahnkar Mohanty has also lost his father due to the alleged negligence of doctors at the same hospital. His father Sarat Kumar Mohanty was a former director of Doordarshan. He was admitted to the hospital for a minor intestine operation. Soon after the operation on July 14, Mohanty complained of acute pain near the operated area. He was immediately shifted to the ICU and the doctors told the family that the pain was due to some cardiac problem. “After keeping him in the ICU for three days, the doctors told us that my father had developed some complication for which he needed a test which could only be done in Mumbai. He died the next the day before the test could be done,” said a distraught Subahnkar.
Tamasa Sethy, widow of former Assistant Commissioner of Commercial Tax Harihar Sethy, said, “Neither the hospital staff nor the doctors cooperated with us. Instead, they harassed us. The nurses did not attend to the patients properly.” Sethy died in Kalinga Hospital in Bhubaneswar while under treatment for H1N1 flu.
Private health care facilities are mushrooming in Bhubaneswar. But the number of complains regarding the sub-standard treatment and wilful negligence is also on rise at the same time. “The government should keep an eye on these high profile hospitals which charge a lot of money but do not look keen on the quality of the service. Otherwise people will be exploited in the name of 'good treatment',” said a professor at the SCB Medical College on condition of anonymity.
