Death certificate for live baby

 

Another case of gross doctor negligence

It is perchance that the mother decided to have a second look in the box and the baby moved although the body temperature was cool. Now here comes the twist; on duty doctors refused to examine the baby stating that death certificate had already been issued. Parents took the baby to a private hospital where it is undergoing treatment and is in a critical state. The question is what sort of “doctors” are we dealing with here? Apparently junior doctors and interns are generally in-charge in night shift at many private hospitals. It is imperative that the concerned ministry take stern measures against those responsible. These allegations, if proven true, constitute medical negligence and these so-called medical practitioners should be held to account for their negligence.
