UP: Family claims needle left in woman's head after stitches at CHC, probe ordered
Hapur (UP), Sep 30: A family in western Uttar Pradesh's Hapur alleged that a surgical needle was left in a young woman's head after receiving stitches at a government facility, with the health department on Monday ordering an inquiry into the claims.
The incident occurred three days ago in the village of Nanai, located in the Bahadurgarh area following a dispute between two parties, 22-year-old Sitara, daughter of Siyakat Khan, sustained a serious head injury from a stick.
Her family then took her to the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Gadh for treatment. The family said the attending doctor stitched her wound and bandaged her head before discharging her.
However, Sitara continued to experience severe pain, prompting her family to consult a private doctor the next day.
Upon removing the bandage, the doctor was shocked to discover that a needle had been left inside her head by the government doctor, they said.
"The doctor was drunk. We want action to be taken so that such an incident is not repeated with anyone in future," Sitara's mother told reporters.
The family subsequently lodged a complaint with the local health department and relevant authorities.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Sunil Tyagi said, "We have formed a two-member team to investigate the matter and have requested a report. Action will be taken based on the findings of this report."
On the charges of the staff on duty being drunk, Tyagi said the doctor in question is a teetotaller but added that a detailed inquiry is ongoing and everything would be cleared once the report is out.

Real Madrid fines Valverde and Tchouaméni half a million euros each for altercation
Barcelona (AP): Real Madrid slapped players Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni with half-a-million-euro ($588,000) fines on Friday for their altercation during practice.
The massive fines came a day after the midfielders tussled when the team trained. Valverde said in a post on social media on Thursday that no punches were thrown. But Valverde knocked his head on a table and he suffered a small cut that required a brief hospital visit.
On social media, Valverde initially called it a “meaningless fight” with a teammate and said “everything has been blown out of proportion."
His employers, however, considered it a significant enough breach of team discipline to nail both Valverde and Tchouaméni with fines that bite even the bank account of a top soccer player. The half-a-million euro penalties reflect the reputational damage the club was enduring in a chaotic end to a disappointing season.
In a statement, the 15-time European champion said its disciplinary action was concluded after both players expressed to the club “their complete remorse for what happened and apologized to one another.”
Madrid added they also apologized to their teammates, the coaching staff and club supporters, as well as showing their willingness to accept whatever disciplinary action the club deemed “opportune.”
Tchouaméni was back training with Madrid on Friday, two days before they play at Barcelona in a clasico. Madrid has to win otherwise Barcelona will be crowned La Liga champion.
After being notified of the fine, he posted a public apology to the club and its fans on social media.
“What happened this week in training is unacceptable,” Tchouaméni wrote. "I say this while thinking about the example we are expected to set for young people, whether in football or at school.
“Above all, I am sorry for the image we projected of the club.”
Valverde was not at practice due to the head knock.
Both players are set to play in the World Cup next month, with Tchouaméni playing for France and Valverde for Uruguay.
Chaotic end to a poor season
===================
The run-in between the players, who for seasons have played side by side in Madrid's midfield, came after they argued this week in previous training sessions. But tempers boiled over on Thursday. Spanish media was rife with reports that the players previously disagreed over the club's decision to let coach Xabi Alonso go after just months on the job.
It was not the only altercation involving Madrid players during training this week. Álvaro Carreras confirmed he was in a “minor” incident with a teammate. Spanish media said he and fellow defender Antonio Rüdiger got into a scuffle.
Álvaro Arbeloa, the coach who was promoted from Madrid's reserve team when Alonso was fired in January, will face tough questions on what went wrong inside the changing room when he gives a press conference on Saturday ahead of the clasico at Camp Nou.
Madrid is facing a second consecutive campaign without a major trophy amid rumors in the Spanish media that club president Florentino Pérez is considering bringing back Jose Mourinho to straighten out his underperforming team.
