[Resolved]  Parmar Hospital Ropar Punjab — Death due to Gross Negligence of doctors

Address: Rupnagar, Punjab

My mother 65 year of age was admitted to this Hospital on 7/6/2010 for removal of calculus(10x6mm) in the right ureter. Doctor BPS Parmar and Dr. Rajesh Gulia of Kidney hospital Chandigarh operated the patient on 7th of June and told that surgery is successful and calculus has been removed. Patient was complaining of severe pain in the right kidney after the surgery . Patient was discharged on 9th of June with pain. As the pain was more the patient again visited the hospital on 11th of June . Doctor BPS Parmar did not check the patient and told us that he forgot to tell that a stent has been inserted in the ureter and that could be a cause of the pain , and said that stent shall be removed on 14th of June. The patient again visited the same hospital on 14th of june for removal of the stent. Doctor BPS Parmar removed the stent and discharged the patient just after two hours. But the condition of the patient was deteriorating day by day. The patient again visited the same hospital on 16th night, but the doctor did not investigate the root cause of the problem and gave pain killers. On 17th the condition of the patient further deteriorated and had a fever and vomiting. The patient again visited the same hospital on 17th morning . Dr. BPS Parmar again prescribed pain killer and conducted blood/urine test. TLC was 12400 in the morning ,but he gave only one antibiotic and kept the patient without medication for the whole day.In the evening the condition of the patient further deteriorated and blood pressure dropped to 80/60. Dr. BPS Parmar put center line for stabilisng the blood pressure but in vain. He referred us to FORTIS Mohali at 2.30 am on 18th of June. At Fortis they conducted CT scan and reported that calculus 3mm was lying in the right kidney and multi calculi (8x13mm) were lying in right ureter which prooved that Dr. Parmar did not remove the calculus and made the case more complicated by breaking the calculus in to pieces and kept on hiding the facts from the patient for eleven days . At Fortis the doctors tried thier best but unfortunately the patient died on 19th June at 10.15 am due to septic shock . The doctors at Fortis told us that the root cause of death is severe infection in the right ureter track and kidney due to wrong procedure done at Parmar Hospital Ropar.We lost a healthy person due to doctor's negligency. At Fortis doctors also told us that the stent must be checked for any infection at the time of removal from the ureter which was not done . We paid Rs. 25,000 to doctor Parmar for the surgery which was not done as per the Fortis reports. We also paid Rs. 2,00,000 as a medical expenses in Fortis and finally lost the member. This is case of gross negligency . My contact number is [protected] my e mail id is nst.[protected]@gmail.com
