Dear sir... Want to share a heart felt note about a patient at svimsSir we have admitted our father in law for bipass surgery after consulting doctors at CT dept by taking medicines for 2 months given admission and after that they postponed the surgery due to cardiac enzime test positive. Then the doctor by name Dr. Vinod baan who is treating our in-law taken him to surgery after symptomatic with covid. Casually even when we are in hospital consulted Dr. Abbaa chandra casually we came to know that Dr. Vinod baan though have given sample for covid test and get positive. Then after surgery he was ok with some abnormal b.p. then after 24hours they created a scene that he was in very urgent condition and said the doctor and his team who operated my in-law tested positive and said tomorrow we will sent sample for covid. Up to 12 :00am the patient was ok after surgery no doctor contacted us all off a sudden between 1:00-2:00 before covid test they said my in-law was no more. They have gone with a medical negligence they were not yet eligible as a doctor. That stupid team after symptomatic how they will attend a surgery by giving sample. Dr. Abba chandra clearly said us that how Dr. Vinod have gone for surgery after giving sample and that to ur patient after testing cardiac enzime test positive why the doctor immediately have done the surgery if any thing happens claim on them on court. She shouted on doctors. We ppl have no strength we lost him and after giving the body they said u ppl take precautions. Like our case many ppl were facing lot of troubles. We lost our family head. Who will take care of us that stupid doctors team spoiler our family know we the entire family are symptomatic. Take siviour action on the hospital its a common man begging for the loss of a family member
