Apollo Hospital — Sutures left unattended and no mention in the summary for 17 days

Address:

Apollo Hospital CBD, Navi Mumbai

19th Sept my 16 year old had a head injury due to a road accident and later findings were that it was a traumatic brain injury. The head had staples and sutures which in 13 days of stay was always neglected.Nowhere on the discharge summary the sutures or staples were mentioned. The attending doctor Akhlesh Tandekar had no idea of how many staples were put and stitches of what type. after 13 days (1st Oct) of hospitalization my daughter was given discharge with the sutures not removed. Today 6th Oct when I went for a second opinion with another neurosurgeon as Apollo I was informed that the sutures are still there and need to be removed. This is case of Sheer negligence on part of the doctor and his team and leaves me with no confidence in the treatment
