Man in Coma Walks Out of Hospital with Tubes Attached
Madhya Pradesh hospitals face scams and negligence, exposing fraud and poor conditions, leading to investigations and demands for better healthcare.
In recent times, scams and negligence in hospitals have become a common issue. ISH News has covered several such incidents, and two shocking cases from Madhya Pradesh have now gone viral, exposing the harsh reality of healthcare fraud and poor facilities.
Patient Walks Out of ICU, Exposes Hospital Scam
In Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, a man named Bunty Nimama was admitted to Box03 GD Hospital after a fight with a neighbour. His family was told he was in a coma and was forced to pay Rs 1 lakh for expensive medicines and ICU treatment. However, the truth came out when Bunty was seen walking out of the hospital with a catheter and breathing tube still attached. He accused the hospital of lying about his condition to scam his family.
Bunty’s wife said, “We spent Rs 40,000 in just 12 hours. When I returned, my husband, who was supposedly in a coma, was standing outside the hospital, angry and fully conscious.”
The hospital denied the allegations, claiming the total bill was only Rs 8,000. They also shared CCTV footage, accusing Bunty of causing a commotion and abusing doctors. They filed a police complaint against him, mentioning his criminal history.
After the video went viral, the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) formed a team to investigate. The district collector also ordered an inquiry, and a team visited the hospital to look into the matter.
Rats Roam Freely in Mandla District Hospital
In another shocking incident, a video from Mandla district hospital showed rats roaming freely near a patient’s bed. The video sparked outrage, prompting senior officials to take action.
The hospital management claimed they conduct pest control regularly but promised to increase the frequency and take stricter measures. A senior district officer personally inspected the children’s ward, scolded the staff, and ordered immediate improvements.
Madhya Pradesh’s Public Health Engineering Minister and local MLA, Sampatiya Uike, also visited the hospital. She called the situation a clear case of negligence and demanded better facilities for patients.
Conclusion
These incidents highlight the serious issues of scams and poor conditions in some hospitals. While investigations are ongoing, such cases raise concerns about the quality of healthcare and the need for stricter regulations to protect patients. Authorities must take strong action to ensure such incidents do not happen again.
