    In India it is easy for Doctors to neglect their responsibility,due to weak law and corrupt system.Money and influence can save them.Just think of the Doctors in Gulf countries.There is no excuse for such negligence.

    Just arresting doctor is not going to solve this problem. Indian Medical association, Medical Council India,and Health Minsitry should join hands to make permanent solutions to prevent such tragic accidents due to negligence and inferior medical services.

    The cause of death may be due to several medical condition. Pain may be generalized, meaning that you feel it in more than half of your belly. This is more typical for a stomach virus, indigestion, or gas. If the pain becomes more severe, it may be caused by a blockage of the intestines. Pain that is localized is found in only one area of your belly. This type of pain is more likely to be a sign of a problem in an organ, such as the appendix, gallbladder, or stomach. Cramp-like pain is usually not serious, and is more likely to be due to gas and bloating. It is often followed by diarrhea. More worrisome signs include pain that occurs more often, lasts than 24 hours, or occurs with a fever. Colicky pain is pain that comes in waves. It usually starts and ends suddenly, and is often severe. Kidney stones and gallstones are common causes of this type of belly pain.
    Appendicitis
    Abdominal aortic aneurysm
    Bowel blockage or obstruction
    Cancer of the stomach, colon, and other organs. Cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) with or without gallstones. Decreased blood supply to the intestines (ischemic bowel)
    Diverticulitis. Heartburn, indigestion, or gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). Inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis). Kidney stones
    Pancreatitis (swelling or infection of the pancreas). Ulcers, Sometimes, abdominal pain may be due from a problem somewhere else in your body, such as your chest or pelvic area. For example, you may have abdominal pain if you have:
    Heart attack, Severe menstrual cramps, Endometriosis, Muscle strain, Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), Pneumonia, Tubal (ectopic) pregnancy, and Urinary tract infections.

    THE DOCTORS SHOULD BE PUNISHED ACCORDING TO THE LAW IF THEY FOUND GUILTY AS A LESSON TO OTHER HOSPITALS OR CLINICS WHO ARE UTTER NEGLIGENT TO THEIR PATIENTS AS THEY HAVE GOT "TEN OTHER CLINICS" TO VISIT ON A DAILY BASIS ( THEY CANT CONCENTRATE ON THE PARTICULAR PATIENTS )
