Doctors left locket in child's lungs
As per Indian TV channels report, doctors at the Delhi Government-run LNJP Hospital have allegedly left a locket inside a nine-month-old boy's chest after lung-surgery.
Uday was operated upon over the weekend and the locket, which he was wearing at the time of the surgery, was detected after a X-ray two days later.
Hospital Medical Superintendent and doctors were not available for comment. Surender Kumar Jha, the child's father, first admitted the child to Kasturba Gandhi Hospital on October 19 with complaints of cold, chest congestion and fever. ''He was referred to LNJP and was diagnosed with pleural effusion. The doctors said the boy needed an operation to drain out water and puss that had collected in his lungs,'' he said. ''After the surgery the child has been crying continuously.
After the X-ray I have been running after doctors to tell me what was happening but nobody helped,'' he added.
Mr Jha alleged that the hospital was trying to cover up the the incident and was trying to save its doctors.
The Indian Medical Association has sent a team to the hospital and are looking into the incident.
Delhi Health and Family Welfare Minister Yoganand Shastri has ordered an inquiry. ''In case negligence is proved, strict action will be taken against the erring doctors,'' he warned.
