A fresh allegation of medical negligence once again surfaced in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
A man identified as Biswajit Samanta was brought to the trauma care unit early on Monday morning at RG Kar with complaints of severe chest pain.
According to the family members of the deceased person, his treatment was started immediately but his condition started deteriorating when he wanted to use the toilet.
“The nurse said that there was no toilet on that floor and suggested that we should visit the ‘pay and use’ toilet outside the trauma care unit. Despite asking for assistance no one came for help and even a stretcher was not available. My father tried to walk and midway he fell down and lost consciousness. When he was taken to the emergency he was declared as dead,” said the deceased’s son.
Notably, three days back a person identified as Arup Banerjee who took his son for treatment at RG Kar hospital died due to malfunctioning of a lift.
