Shivamogga, Jun 10: The incident which reportedly happened at the district McGann Hospital here sometime back relating to which a video had gone viral, has got an interesting twist now.
In the video , taken by using a mobile phone, which had spread like wildfire through social media sites, an old man was seen being dragged on the floor by his wife. It was claimed that the woman was forced to drag her sick husband all along the floor as he could not walk, the hospital did not provide stretcher, and the doctor insisted on taking of the man's X-ray without delay.
It has now been revealed that the woman in question, Fameeda, was dragging her husband all along the floor not to the X-ray room but to the toilet. This revised information was provided by advocate, Savita Pattanashetti, who has been appointed by the women and child development department to the paediatric treatment unit of McGann Hospital.
Pattanashetti visited the said hospital along with member secretary of the district legal services authority, Somashekhar C Badami, on Friday June 9. After verifying reports and facts, she told the media that when Fameeda was leading her husband to toilet in this fashion, some nurses had approached and questioned her, but she had failed to provide proper response. This was revealed during verification here, and on the face of it, it looks like a scene created by vested interests aimed at tarnishing the image of the hospital, she added.
