A doctor was suspended without enquiry for a Media person\u2019s death in Casualty. Media alleged the doctor gave a \u201cwrong injection” which caused the death. The actual cause of death turns out to be massive ICH. The incident took place at the\u00a0General Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram.<\/p>\n
Yesterday a cameraman of a prominent newspaper in Kerala was brought to the causality due to onset of seizures. He was managed with general protocols for an acute seizure management. Adequate care was given, the CMO examined patient completely and suggested a Neurology consultation.<\/p>\n
As part of the acute care – injection Eptoin was given to the patient. Unfortunately the patient collapsed and soon died. The relatives alleged that Doctor has given a wrong injection and there as lapse in treatment. The cameraman’s colleagues started\u00a0arguing and staged a dharna at the hospital. Local politicians and media channels started sensationalizing the issue in just one hour. The\u00a0hospital superintendent Dr M P Sindhu clearly stated that the patient\u00a0was suffering from epileptic seizure and the hospital staff did all that they could do to save him.<\/p>\n
The government succumbed to pressure from the media and immediately suspended the doctor without any enquiry ! Today the post mortem showed a Intra Cranial Hemorrhage – which itself can have upto 50% mortality even when treated.<\/em> <\/span>The doctors at the hospital meanwhile are on strike to oppose the unwarranted suspension of the doctor without a thorough investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A doctor was suspended without enquiry for a Media person\u2019s death in Casualty.
