Are Junior doctors being made soft target in West Bengal?
Friday, May 29, 2009
There was a news about death of a three months old child in RG Kar Medica College on 24th Mays news paper.The child expired in the deptt. of Pediatrics in that hospital on 23rd May.Relatives of the deceased showed agitation in the hospital,they also alleged that the death of the child was due to negligence, as stated in the news paper.They again said that they were told to bring blood for the child on 22d May,they did it accordingly,but doctors did not transfused the blood and the patient died.
As usual the College officials made a inquiry to this matter.In today's Ananda Bazar Patrika the results of the inquiry came out.And one House staff & two PGTs were held responsible for this event.The college officials held them responsible for not transfusing the blood. The Principal,RG Kar Medical College also said that the College Council will decide about the punishment of the acused.
My question is why only the Juniors are held responsible?Why the Visiting Physicians & RMOs won't be responsible?Is it just the duty of the junior doctors to run the hospital?
