Instead of right, youth’s left leg was operated
Fortis, a popular hospital in Shalimar Bagh, Delhi, has operated a youth’s left leg, instead of the injured right leg.
Ravi Rai, a 24-year-old student, had a fall at his home, and upon taking to the hospital, they were told that, his right heel bone was fractured and his condition was serious.
"After the doctors analysed the condition of our son, they suggested surgery on the injured right leg. We agreed to it as it was important according to them. However, we were shocked to know that instead of performing surgery on the injured leg they operated on the other leg," Ravi's father, Ramkaran Rai said.
The doctors apologized later, and said to operate the right leg, but the irritated parents, who spotted two rods on the wrong leg on their son, complained the police. The Delhi Medical Council has also begun an inquiry.
