SRINAGAR: A pregnant city woman gave birth to a dead baby boy after a doctor allegedly told her to go home as it was early for her to get admitted in the hospital.
Syed Azhar Hussain husband of Rubeena Akhtar, hailing from Alamgari Bazar Srinagar, said his wife visited a lady doctor at Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Hospital, Rainawari after she developed severe labour pain but the said doctor advised her to go home and get admitted in the hospital after a week.
Hussain said his wife developed labour pain and was shifted to JLNM Hospital. I took my wife to JLNM vide ticket number 0424487 where one lady Doctor Sabeena informed us that pain was due to some minor urinal problem. My wife repeatedly kept on informing her that it was labour pain but she refused to agree, he claimed.
Hussain said that doctor was reluctant to admit her in the hospital and even refused to go for Ultra Sonography (USG). The said doctor advised my wife to go home while her another colleague Dr Nighat prescribed medicine for urine infection, he said adding that next morning her wife again developed labour pain and When we referred her to PHC Zadibal, the doctors there advised us to immediately shift her to JLNM Hospital, he said.
Next morning my wife Rubeen was admitted in the hospital vide MRD Number 6078, the doctor on duty admonished us for admitting her too late in the hospital. Once we told her everything, she was dumbfound and did not utter a word, Hussain said.
He said that her wife gave birth to a dead baby just because she was not operated on time. He alleged that the said doctor did not admit his wife in the hospital because she (doctor) was in a hurry that time. Her casual approach put an end to a precious life, he said.
Despite repeated attempts Dr Sabeena could not be contacted. All the phone numbers of JLNM Hospital are out of order. Director Health Services, Kashmir did not pick up the phone either. (CNS)
