Sudha had gone to the hospital for her cesarean section in March, where the doctors left a large piece of cloth in her body, which later formed pus
The doctors at Sir Ganga Ram hospital recently operated on a woman, who had been brought to Delhi by her family after she developed pus in her body, due to a bandage roll left in her stomach by the doctors at the Jamnabai General Hospital in Vadodara. Sudha had gone to the hospital for her cesarean section in March, where the doctors left a large piece of cloth in her body, which later formed pus.
On March 22, Sudha was operated at the Vadodara hospital for her delivery and was discharged two days later, but soon the pain started and the family had no idea what to do. Originally from Azamgarh in Uttar Pradesh, Sudha has been living in Vadodara with her husband for the last few years. She was brought to Delhi for a check-up where doctors at the hospital found infection in her stomach and decided to operate.
"She was in so much pain and we didn't know what to do. There were frequent bouts of acute pain and frequent vomiting. After several rounds of tests, the doctors at Ganga Ram told us that she had some bandage in her stomach and needed an operation," said Rajesh, a family member.
While the cloth has been removed successfully and family is out of the shock now, Sudha would need to be under constant observation to make sure that the infection does not spread. She could not even feed her newborn baby for the fear of spreading infection.
Sudha's family now intends to file a complaint of medical negligence against the hospital as they spent close to Rs 3 lakh for her treatment due to the hospital's negligence. The doctors at the Vadodara hospital, however, refused to comment on the matter and said they will look into it.
