Patient found alive 3 days after doctors allegedly declared him dead in Assam’s Tinsukia

Family of a man who was admitted at the Tinsukia Civil Hospital in Assam claimed that they found him alive three days after the doctors had declared him dead. Hussain’s relatives said they found him lying on a floor of an isolated ward meant for bodies. Hospital’s Superintendent Gopinath Bardale refuted the family’s claim and said, “That room is part of our medicine ward where critical patients are kept, the only body of a patient who died earlier wasn't removed yet. It isn't a morgue. We kept him (Hussain) on the floor so that he doesn't fall down from the bed.”
