A Police complaint was filed in Waghodia police station on Monday by the relatives of a 40-year-old woman who died in Dheeraj Hospital in Pipariya village. The woman's relatives have alleged that the hospital authorities moved her to a private clinic of a hospital doctor in his personal car after they failed to conduct a laparoscopy operation for her minor kidney stones.
The Waghodia police said Shahnawaz Khan Pathan the husband of the deceased woman, Najma Khan Pathan, has now lodged a complaint with the police asking the Forensic Department of Sir Sayajirao General Hospital to conduct a post mortem.
It was on April 1, that Najma, a zari embroidery worker from Hathikhana was admitted to Dheeraj Hospital with kidney stones.
Shahnawaz told The Indian Express: “We were told by the hospital that they would conduct a laparoscopy surgery to remove her stones since it was a textbook case. But due to unavailability of a laparoscopy expert, they decided conduct an open surgery. As per the hospital reports, there were 42 stitches in her belly. But her condition did not improve after the surgery. After staying in the hospital for a week, we again approached the doctor who had operated her when her condition deteriorated.”
Shahnawaz, who works with the Jaipur Golden Transport Company in Vadodara, told the police in the complaint that when the hospital failed to improve her condition, one of the doctors, Dr Kuldeep Agarwal, brought her to his private clinic in Alkapuri in his car for treatment. "We did not understand why they had to take her to the doctor's private clinic when all the facilities were available in the hospital. But we did not know much about medical treatment, and assumed that it was for her good,” Shahnawaz said.
