AIIMS — Negligence | |
This is shameful incident i hav faced in the past few days while getting my patient treated at one of the new branches of AIIMS. I myself am a doctor and this patient is some1 I have been trying to help get treatment keeping in mind their financial constraints.. This pt has been diagnosed to hav a fast growing brain tumor.. When i consulted the doc he said they wud operate it (ie. Go for a debulking surgery) and send it for histopathological examination for diagnosis and further management.. When surgery was done they said they only took tissue for biopsy as it was very risky and had life threats.. When biospy report came the fast growing tumor didnot hav any tumor cells which was very unlikely coz it was very evident in mri.. After 9days of surgery the doc doesnt know whether the pt has passed stool or not and they have been giving feeding.. The pt not having passed stool for nine straight days regurgitated and aspirated owing to gastric paresis and had to be sent to ICU and was intubated and ventilator support had to be given.. I myself am a doctor and when i asked the treating doctor about it in the most humble voice the attitude he showed was unbelievable.. Let me quote the lines 'ab aapke hisaab se treatment chalega! Ye tareeka hota hae baat karneka, le jaiye apna patient yahan se i will not see your patient, you are blaming me! ' .. My patient whose relatives are such innocent good hearted people relied completely on me and having faced this kind of attitude from a doctor holding 4-5degrees my faith in my own profession has faded.. On having questioned about the patients current status the treating doctor threatened me that he would not see the patient anymore! According to.current standards patient party has all the rights to take the investigation reports and get a 2nd opinion but we are not being given any reports.. The doctor is hesitant to reveal the treatment.. And this is what we are getting from the Pioneer institute of India.. My patient is currently dying of something thatvwas least expected..
