| GMC fails to care poor patients who are dumped in pitiable condition? | | Who cares for poor !!! | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
Jammu, July 25: The premier healthcare institute Government Medical College and Hospital Jammu established to extend better medicare facilities to people of Jammu region has always been in news for wrong reasons be it neglect of medicare or be it the monkey menace. But authorities have adopted a typical approach i.e. who cares?
GMC&H Jammu recently has been in national news due to growing monkey menace and administration including the ministers concerned issued press statement -that were perfectly made out of good word and literature reiterating better health services to the people.
Hardly the news items appeared in media the things once again recoiled to the past, the GMC&H again failed to come upto the expectations of people especially to the poor and unattended patients.
It was Wednesday when hospital administration turned blind eye and dumped an unidentified patient in a hospital corner instead of treating him properly. According to an eyewitness who narrated the incident to media a middle aged patient, half dressed on a stretcher was lying unattended near the stairs on ground floor near emergency of the Government Medical College on Wednesday morning. No one even the Doctor who were administrated a pledge to work for needy and ailing humanity passed without noticing the ailing human left unattended.
Meanwhile unconfirmed reports said the same patient was lying in pitiable condition since Tuesday evening near the staircase on ground floor of the hospital. Though it was not clear who shifted the patient and left him unattended near the ramp but the Hospital administration too has virtually neglected its duties. However it was again media persons who intervened in the matter and took up issue with higher authorities to shift him to the emergency ward for necessary follow up. Strangely, the manner in which the entire hospital administration feigned ignorance about the identity of the patient and later shifted the blame on the close relatives of the patient left many questions unanswered as to how the poor patient landed in such a pathetic condition inside the hospital in first place.
Meanwhile in an expected "blame game' the doctors present on duty blamed the attandants who left the patient unattended who according to them have deserted him perhaps owing to his illness.
But their claims show if one is left unattended the doctors who are considered as 'Angels in White' will not help or care which is contrary to their pledge to work for ailing humanity. Whatever the reasons the doctors may put forth in their defence but they doctors on duty have apparently failed to give satisfactory and convincing replies. The incident has exposed the uncaring attitude of the hospital administration as none of them took necessary steps to extend patient care and despite receiving regular information about the plight of the patient failed to do the needful.
