Kundapur, Jun 14: The family of a woman whose delivery was handled at the taluk government hospital here alleged that the child died during delivery on account of irresponsibility on the part of the doctors. The medical officers however insisted that they had handled the case properly and given proper treatment. These developments were witnessed at the taluk government hospital here on Monday June 13.

Manjula, a native of Idur Kunjady here, and wife of Thirthahlli Ganesh Acharya, was admitted to the government hospital here on Sunday night for her maiden delivery. She went through labour at around 4 am on Monday. Although the doctors were informed about this development, it is said that they did not arrive at the hospital. After the labour pain became acute, emergency operation had to be conducted, and the child had died, the lady's family and relatives said, adding that these things occurred on account of irrospible doctors.

Chief medical officer of the hospital, Dr Uday Shankar, clarified that all the pre-birth procedures had been properly followed and the doctors had not showed any negligence.

    Medical Negligence in not a new thing, its happening every now and then. Earlier doctors were like god... But now we live in commercial world. No value for human life. MCI must take strict action against the accused doctors and must debar them from the service permanantly.

    Stop blaming doctors for every death. People die. Doctors cannot save everyone. They aren't "gods". Increased labor pains is not an indication for Caesarian section. The infant mortality rate is 6/1000 in developed countries where health care is excellent.

    Everyone knows how present day doctors behave.... First thing they ask is "Do you have insurance". Then only the diagnosis starts. And if someone dies then also they are least bothered.
