A picture of putting humanity to shame has emerged from the emergency ward premises of DMCH, the largest hospital of North Bihar. Where a dead body was lying in the emergency ward and patients were being treated nearby, but none of the personnel present there removed the body from there. Not only this, the emergency ward staff made an abandoned patient lie down on the road outside the ward for sunbathing.
Actually, Santosh Sah (55) of Mokama police station area of Patna district was admitted to DMCH emergency. Who died in the morning during treatment in CCW ward. The body was not removed from there even 10 hours after the death of the patient. Treatment of other patients continued next to the dead body. Frightened, many family members took their patient to other places.
what did people say
Let us tell you that Dharmendra Kumar, a resident of Pratapganj in Supaul district, a family member of the patient being treated in CCW, said that the body was lying in the ward for about nine to ten hours, but still no one has come to remove it. Here, about an abandoned patient lying on the road outside the ward, it was told that the said patient was also being treated in the CCW ward. Seeing him shivering with cold, the workers instead of covering him with a blanket, made him lie outside on the ground to sunbathe. When asked, a worker told that when the sunlight would end then they would put him back on the bed. When asked about the body, it was told that the family members of the said patient were coming from Patna, after which the body would be handed over to them.
Requested several times to remove the dead body
Manju Devi, who is treating the patient in the CCW ward, said that she has requested the staff several times to remove the dead body, but every time the deployed personnel kept asking what should we do, only the police station will do it. Here in the evening, when the soldiers of Benta OP got the news of the dead body, they sent the body to the post-mortem department. In this regard, Benta police station incharge said that someone had informed on phone late in the evening. Police was sent to the spot and the body was sent to the post mortem department of DMCH.
