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.

UP: Misled by GPS navigation, car falls into river from partially constructed bridge, 3 dead
Bareilly (UP), Nov 24: Three people died when their car fell into the Ramganga river from a partially constructed bridge here on Sunday, police said, adding that they suspect the driver was misled by its navigation system into taking the unsafe route.
The accident occurred around 10 am on the Khalpur-Dataganj road when the victims were travelling from Bareilly to Dataganj in the Badaun district, they said.
"Earlier this year, floods had caused the front portion of the bridge to collapse into the river, but this change had not been updated in the system," Circle Officer Ashutosh Shivam said.
The driver was using a navigation system and did not realise that the bridge was unsafe, driving the car off the damaged section, the police said.
There were no safety barriers or warning signs on the approach to the damaged bridge, leading to the fatal accident, Shivam said.
Upon receiving information, police teams from Faridpur, Bareilly and Dataganj police station rushed to the spot. They recovered the vehicle and the bodies from the river, Shivam added.
The circle officer said that bodies had been sent for post-mortem. Further investigation into the matter is underway.
