In a bizarre incident, maggots were found in the wound of a young woman who is undergoing treatment in Alappuzha Medical College in Kerala. Relatives of the woman complained of criminal negligence from the doctors here.
The incident took place at Alappuzha Medical College Hospital when Jasmine wife of Jyothish was admitted following an accident. Jasmine was pregnant when she met with an accident in which her pelvic bone and several parts of the body were injured. Jasmine was rushed to Alappuzha Medical College Hospital where she underwent a caesarean section on May 8.
The baby was transferred to the pediatric ICU due to head injuries due to the accident. Doctors said Jasmine needed four surgeries on her hip. On the 16th, while lying in the theater for her first operation, the doctor noticed maggots in Jasmine’s wound, said Jasmine.
Jasmine, who was shifted to the ward after surgery, complains of severe pain. The relatives allege that the main doctor did not come to the ward for examination after this. The woman’s husband alleged that the house surgeons were coming but did not listen to them. He also said that the junior doctors who come to the ward for tests tell him to go to another hospital at his own risk.
