Doctors at the LB Nagar Kamineni Hospital declared a living man dead, even issuing a "death certificate".
Angry relatives staged a dharna in front of the Kamineni Hospital at L B Nagar on Sunday, after the doctors there declared a living man dead, even issuing a "death certificate".
The man "died" again soon, leaving his relatives in a tizzy, with extreme emotions of anguish, then happiness, and then more anguish.
The man, identified as Hari, was rushed to the hospital following a fall from an electricity pole at Bonala.
Hari, from Chilukanagar in Uppal, was checked by the doctors on duty at the hospital, who declared him "brought dead," and wrote out a certificate to this effect.
He, however, got up while being taken away by his grieving family, and started to vomit. The grieving family members rushed Hari back to the hospital, where he was shifted to the ICU.
An hour later, the doctors declared Hari dead again, this time, while undergoing treatment in the ICU.
The inefficiency of the doctors, first in declaring him dead while he was alive, and then, in failing to save his life, left Hari's relatives enraged. They resorted to a protest in front of the hospital.
The family alleged that Hari had died because the doctors had failed to administer proper treatment to him and were indirectly responsible for his death.
However, the situation was controlled with the intervention of L B Nagar and Uppal MLAs Sudhir Reddy and Rajireddy.
The MLAs assured the relatives that they would get due justice from the hospital for its negligence. (INN)
