Jamshedpur, Aug. 23 -- The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College Hospital (MGMMCH) here has once again come under fire for three deaths within 48 hours, two of them allegedly for not being attended by senior doctors and the third one waiting in an auto rickshaw for stretcher at the emergency ward on Saturday, people aware of the matter said on Saturday. Harish Biruli, 12 and his 4-year-old sister Jyoti from Matkamhatu village in Jhinkpani of West Singhbhum were admitted to MGMMCH with high fever and symptoms of brain malaria around 11.30 AM on Thursday but Harish died at 9.30 PM on Thursday night. "Only one doctor attended to my son and daughter in the morning but Harish's condition continued to deteriorate. There was no senior doctor on duty. The junior doctor asked me to bring some medicines from outside around 3.00 PM but since I was alone with my kids, I couldn't bring those. I don't know if those medicines could have saved my son or not but he died in the night. I got my daughter discharged and left MGMMCH on Friday morning for my village for the last rites of my son," Shanti Devi, mother of Harish, told the media on Saturday. She said her husband had died and only she and her daughter were left in the family. Asked about the absence of two senior doctors on duty, Dr Binita Nancy, in charge of the pediatric department, said the PG (second year) Dr Salman was not present and when asked about it, he went on leave on Thursday due to sudden emergency. "He has not got his leave approved by the department and nor did he inform. Hence, we have marked him absent. Senior resident doctor Dr Nitesh had marked his attendance in the register and has been asked to explain why didn't he attend to the patient. Both the doctors absent from duty have been show-caused and department in-charge Dr KK Chowdhury, senior Dr Ravinder and myself will take appropriate action against them after their replies," Dr Nancy told HT on Saturday. Dr Nancy further informed that Harish Biruli didn't die due to brain malaria but he actually died of encephalitis. In the second case, 42-year-old Sukhram Tudu, elder brother of AJSU SC-ST wing district president Mangal Tudu, died in MGMMCH on Friday, allegedly again not attended to by any senior doctor. "We admitted him around 8.00 PM on Thursday and he died around 5.00 PM on Friday in the emergency ward of MGMMCH. During the 16 hours, not a single senior doctor came and only junior doctors continued to treat him. I tweeted to East Singhbhum DC, health minister and informed AJSU president Sudesh Mahato on Friday noon. It was after Sudesh Mahato talked to MGMMCH superintendent Dr Balram Jha over phone, a few senior doctors came. But it was too late by then," Mangal Tudu said, after performing last rites of his brother on Saturday. In the third incident, 34-year-old driver Vicky Singh, with complain of severe chest pain, died around 3.45 PM in the emergency ward on Saturday. "We had to keep him in the auto rickshaw for 40 minutes waiting for a stretcher and hospital staff to carry him to the emergency ward. The doctors there declared him dead after examination as we carried him in a wheelchair finally. No one was responding to our distress calls and there was absolute mismanagement," Shubhjit Singh, a relative of the deceased, told the media on Saturday....
