This query is : Resolved
A friend lost his left hand due to pure negligence in a government hospital. He was admitted at 3am, but the operation to re-attach the severed hand, which was to be done within 3 hours, started only when the government doctors strolled in at 10am.
There must be many such pending open unaddressed cases against a govt hospital. Would it help to publish an article in the newspaper, and trying to collate as many such cases, and approaching the court for redressal?
We do not want this to happen to anyone else.

Yes. that will do a lot of good to the public at large and it would be an eye-opener for the government also.

High Court may be the right forum to highlight such casual attitude at our public Hospitals lacking humane angle !
