Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 24: With increasing cases of deadly Swine Flu triggering panic across the state, suspects flocking GMC hospital in Jammu are alleging insensitivity and callousness which is adding on to their anxiety.
People allege that there is no doctor to attend to those coming in with suspicion of H1N1 virus and even the OPD is not starting in time. "An isolation cell has been established at Col. Sir RN Chopra Nursing Home, but the OPD starts at 11 am against the scheduled timing 10 am to 2 pm. Moreover, the isolation cell is frequented by attendants and no precautions are being taken by the staff deputed there" said an attendant who had escorted his brother from Udhampur.
Surinder Singh, another attendant of a patient narrating his woes said that he with his ailing wife came to Chopra Nursing Home for screening at 8 AM on Tuesday after they noticed symptoms of swine flu. "From 8 AM to 11 AM, there was no doctor available for conducting screening test and doctor at the Emergency repeatedly told us to go to the isolation ward" he said. "After waiting for hours, I went to the CMO who made a call to the doctor concerned, but he still did not turn up" he added.
When the issue was taken up with Medical Superintendent of GMC Hospital Jammu Dr Ravinder Rattan Pal, he said, "I don't know about the issue, let me check, " he said and informed that administration had deputed team of three doctors in the OPD at RN Chopra Nursing Home and their timing was 10 AM to 2 PM. He further said he would give instructions to iron out the discrepancies so that patient did not have to suffer. |
