I was bundled out of hospital: Patient
Not pushed him out, asked him to follow norms: DMO
Mangaluru, July 03: A patient Rajkumar of Perlampady near Puttur alleged that he was bundled out of the Wenlock Hospital where he was getting treatment as in-patient inhumanly just because he was with two kids, wife and his mother in the hospital.
Speaking to media persons here on Tuesday, Rajkumar said that he was working as JCB operator at Baikampady. On June 28, he had complained of stomach pain and he was admitted to the Wenlock hospital. When his wife was away for labour work during day time, his two children- one and half year old girl child and five year old boy- and his mother would stay with him in the hospital. In the evening, the children and mother would take a shelter at a nearby choultry. Citing this, the hospital staff have pushed him out of the hospital without even removing the injection syringe, he alleged.
However, hospital DMO Dr Rajeshwari Devi said that normally, the hospital would issue a pass to the helper. Only men should be there in men’s ward and women in women’s ward to help the patients and it is the norm of the hospital. It is the duty of the patient to follow it. Rajkumar family was in the hospital since June 28 and it was against the hospital norm. Moreover, there was no provision for woman to stay in the men’s ward during night. When the patient was asked to follow it, he himself went out of the ward and now making allegation against the hospital. There was no truth in the allegation because, the hospital staff did not push him out of the hospital, she said.
