Death chamber
My father just went for a simple leg bone fracture. He has no other complaints at that time. Dr I Arun Kumar took an X-ray and said surgery needed.
My father was a successful organ transplant person for 17 years. We got an approval from his Nephro for his kidney functions before doing the surgery and he said all was good from kidney point of view. Surgery was done for 2 hrs and he was told it was successful and next day father can sit on wheelchair. But Father still had severe pain and could not move leg. There was still lot of blood oozing. Next day doctor comes does X-ray and says screws he has put is in line of fracture and he needs to redo the surgery next day. We showed about apprehension that he just had a surgery yesterday and being a transplant patient he is too weak. Dr Arun said nothing to worry it is a very minor surgery won’t take too long as first surgery. We took blood reports again to Apollo Nephrologist and he said kidney is functioning fine. Surgery was planned for noon. I asked that no ECG was done this time around and no Cardiologist has visited him. They said as all parameters are ok they do not need to do ECG for second surgery. I asked them multiple times and got same response.
Finally let him go for second surgery. This was not minor but a major one. They did not bring him out for 3.5 hrs. And we were promised it is very small. Then the Nephrologist walks in floor and duty nurse very suspiciously point towards me and talk to Dr. He comes says all is well, lot of blood lost they will do transfusion and he is being shifted back to room. I asked them why wasn’t blood given then and there. Why not in ICU and why is he coming to room instead of ICU? He said they don’t have an isolation ward for him and he has to go to room. After 30 mins a nurse and ward boy bring my dad with no monitors and saline drip. He was shaking very badly I reported it to duty nurse and duty doctor who are just outside the room. No response. As soon as he was moved to bed he started becoming very uneasy moving head left and right and pleading head to be lifted, to be turned, make him sit non stop. Told the murderers duty nurse and doctor they said this is normal can’t do anything for 4 hrs. They didn’t even come in to check on him. This ordeal went on for more than 10 mins where my father would keep pleading me and I would run to doctor to say he is very uneasy and they would not do anything about it. Then walks in Dr I Arun Kumar the surgeon. My father’s uneasiness is gotten worse and he tells doctor and pleads him I want to sit and I want to them my body. His head is profusely sweating by then. He is only on saline drip and zero monitors. Dr Arun says cannot lift head but you can turn your body to left. He says he redid the plating rods screws again and everything went fine he told us. He still sees dad is very uneasy but leaves the room telling nurse to put heart monitor.
Things get worse dad’s pleading increases to be lifted and made to sit and he shakes and sweats even more. Again duty nurse and doctor don’t come and check inspite of me begging them. Then walks in a nurse checks pulse mumbles pulse not there and hushes it. Then pricks thrice as she is not getting sugar reading and then says to me sugar and bp normal. I ask for heart monitor she says not needed he is fine. I said Dr Arun asked she says not needed. She leaves. His situation is getting more worse now he starts pleading again and now tells me give me sugar my sugar levels are sinking. He holds my hand right and says listen to me my sugar levels are sinking he says many many times. I run to duty Dr he says give few particles of sugar I give him but that doesn’t help. I run to the murderer’s duty doctor and duty nurse begging them something is wrong with dad take him to ICU. They refuse to come saying just now nurse checked he is fine. I tell them there are no heart monitors but they stare at me and don’t come to check on Dad. Then as Dr Arun gave permission I tell dad turn to your left on your own. He does that and suddenly turns right. His eyes are all rolled up I scream. Even then another nurse comes in and after 3 mins goes to the murderers duty Dr and nurse who then walk in. They are clueless what to do don’t do anything to revive my dad and wait for other doctors to arrive .‘Many minutes are lost no sign of Dr Arun no sign of a Cardiologist or ICU doctor. They try to pump his heart manually as there are no machines available. Then they scramble for machines. My brother calls Dr Arun and screams where are you my father is in danger and only then he arrives. Till then no one bothered to even inform him. Then I see they put some injection in his throat and some pipe in his mouth connected to a balloon machine. They tell me there is pulse. Multiple times I hear a doctor tell Arun no pulse do 6 mins. Then suddenly there is a loud blast and that balloon machine has exploded. They rush to ICU. Some more drama they do to pretend to revive a dead man. Then walks in the elusive Cardiologist. He never was there till my father was declared dead
It is so suspicious why such a very long surgery, why he wasn’t kept in ICU post second surgery especially being an organ transplant patient, why he wants given blood immediately and never was they said it takes 3 hrs to match blood, why duty nurse or duty doctor refused to come and help - . . From the very second they got him from OT when he was visibly going through a heart issue SMS they knew it but pretended nothing was wrong with him. Dr Arun the Ortho surgeon, Dr Siva Kumar the Nephrologist, duty nurse duty doctor and elusive Cardiologist are all being called out for medical negligence. Even if this is not true the fact I begged them to look at him for 40 mins and take him to ICU and they didn’t do it shows standard of care not given and heart monitor placed to catch the issue on time.
Loose his life without monitors how did they expect to see his heart is not fine all is so so suspicious and we are still figuring it out. This is a sheer medical negligence related death. Please read other reviews also on Google, MouthShut, Practo, Just Dial.
My father died in my arms begging for me to help him but these didn’t help and let him suffer and die.
