She also request to the duty doctor in the ward for the same as the nurses do not respons for about 2.5 hours after whihc new team of nurses change duty. The new team of nurses were also requested for medicine for the pain in the arm by the patient. But no response from them and the suffering continues till 10 p.m in the night .At this point to time husband of the patient makes enquiry nad finds out that that there is no co -ordination between nurses and the pharmacy . He also gets evasive reply from nurses.
