Ten years ago, he lost his father to medical negligence. Today, when Hitesh Rajput is struggling for justice in the case, he has been told that the documents he'd submitted as evidence are untraceable!
The court has now ordered an inquiry into the case.
Chandulal Rajput was suffering from cancer of the gullet, and had been admitted to VS hospital for treatment. He was operated upon in the hospital on January 28, 2000.
However, after the operation, Rajput continuously felt an uneasy pain in the stomach. Whenever he spoke about the pain to the doctors, his complaints were ignored. However, eight months after the operation, when Rajput's pain became unbearable, he had to be admitted to the same hospital again.
Hitesh says that the doctors, after seeing his father's reports, recommended a second operation. However, just two days after the second operation, he died. "When we asked the doctors for the reports, they first refused. They also ignored the post mortem procedure. When we got the excess, we were shocked to know that the doctors had forgotten a surgical instrument in his stomach during the first operation, which had been hurting him," said Hitesh.
The hassled and aggrieved son then filed a complaint with the State Consumer Commission (Gujarat). He moved the body against the AMC trustees of VS Hospital and Dr Rupesh Mehta, head of the gastro-surgery department. Mehta and one Dr Sanjeev Haribhakti have been named for the negligence.
However, the two doctors, in their statement, have each blamed the other, and have refused outright to take responsibility for the blunder.
Hitesh was, in August, asked to submit the original documents to the commission for the final hearing. "However, when the case came up for hearing, they found that the papers we had submitted were missing. Thee court has now ordered an inquiry into the complaint," said Hitesh.
The case was listed on the board on Tuesday. RP Dholakia, president of the consumer commission who was hearing the case, observed, "We have already passed an internal order to trace the papers. We do not expect them to have been hidden with malafide intentions, just misplaced."
Meanwhile, justice Dholakia said that if the file can be reconstructed, they can start with the case right away. "That way, even if someone has hidden the file, their purpose can be defeated and the hearing can be expedited," he said.
