My younger brother, late vishal chand, aged just 33, who was working as assistant manager, finance with timken india, jamshedpur in jharkhand rushed to the emergency ward of tata main hospital with his driver, biju in the night of 20th may 2011 (10.30 pm) after experiencing chest pain and uneasiness.
2. At the emergency ward, vishal met dr. Atul chhabra who recorded his bp, did an ecg and administered two injections, buscopan, a pain relieving anti spasmodic and rantidine.
3. Vishal’s bp was found to be elevated (150/100), his ecg had major irregularities, as later testified through affidavits by three renowed doctors (On record in court). My brother was obese and we have a family history of cardiac death. My father had died of myocardial infarction in 1991 when he was only 44.
4. Dr. Chhabra did not probe the family history and ignored all major symptoms (High bp, ischemic changes in ecg, obesity and uneasiness) of an impending cardiac arrest and mis-diagnosed the ailment as hypertension with acidity. He recommended tablet alprax (Sleep inducing tabs) at bedtime for 3 days and tab rantac 1*2 (4 tabs) to be taken for 2 days and then follow up in medical opd (On record).
5. Vishal went to office the next day (21st may 2011), experienced chest pain again at 10 am, asked his colleague to rush him to another hospital (He was not satisfied with his visit to tmh the previous night) but before he could meet a doctor, he suffered a severe cardiac arrest, collapsed and died at the opd.
6. Post mortem was conducted the following day (22nd may 2011) and the final p. M report confirmed death due to myocardial infarction (M. I) (Cardiac arrest).
7.in the last one and half year, i have not been able to lay my hands on the true copy of mbbs degree certificate of dr. Atul chhabra, who is still employed with tata hospital.
