Part of patient’s skull misplaced after surgery
Bengaluru: The Whitefield police have registered an FIR against two surgeons of Vydehi hospital for allegedly misplacing a piece of a patient’s skull while performing a surgery.
The accused doctors have been identified as Dr. Guru Prasad and Dr. Rajesh. The police registered an FIR against the doctors based on a complaint lodged by Rukaminiyama – the mother of Chikkamagaluru based patient Manjunath.
According to Rukminiyama, her 25-year-old son Manjunath had been admitted to Vydehi hospital as he suffered from severe headache. After tests, he was advised to undergo surgery immediately as there was a clot in his brain.
The doctors removed a bone flap from Manjunath's skull during surgery, saying that the brain had swollen and the flap would be replaced later. When they went back to the hospital later seeking surgery for replacement of the skull flap, Guruprasad and Rajesh told them the part had been thrown into a dustbin, she alleged.
However, Dr B Guruprasad told that the patient's family had not understood the procedures despite being clearly told the part cannot be replaced.
Manjunath has two young daughters and his widowed mother works as a domestic help to support his treatment and the family.
Police have sought supporting documents from the complainant about the allegations.

Ranchi: Temple guard bludgeoned to death during robbery attempt, 3 held
Ranchi (PTI): A 60-year-old security guard of a temple in Ranchi was bludgeoned to death with a stone during a robbery attempt, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened late on Thursday at the Jagannath Temple in the Dhurwa Smart City area, they said.
"Three persons were arrested on Friday for killing the security guard. They confessed to the crime and told police that the victim had identified them. Therefore, in fear of being caught, they killed him by attacking him with a stone on his head," SSP Rakesh Ranjan said.
"Thereafter, they took money from the donation box and fled the scene. Two of them have criminal antecedents," he added.
Ranjan said the investigators recovered Rs 3 lakh in cash that had been robbed, the stone with blood-stained marks, and the iron rod used to break open the lock of the donation box kept there.
An FIR in this regard was lodged at the Dhurwa police station, he said, adding that the accused were sent to judicial custody by a court.
