Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 30: An Anaesthetist Dr. Sudhakar Sharma is battling for life in Government Medical College and Super-speciality Hospital (GMC&SH) Jammu after having been suspended for 'wrong reasons' on the orders of 'hyperactive Health Minister' of Jammu and Kashmir.
Dr. Sudhakar Sharma complained of chest pain in Government Hospital (GH) Gandhinagar, from where he was immediately shifted to Government Medical College and Super-speciality Hospital (GMC&SH) Jammu where doctors attending to him immediately declared that he had suffered myocardial infarction and needed critical care.
They made all efforts and ensured that Dr. Sudhakar Sharma's health stabilises within shortest possible time. Though he was complaining of chest pain continuously, but doctors attending to him said that though he was not out of danger but that he was stable. They immediately did the angiography and further, medical examinations are still going on.
If the close relatives of Dr. Sudhakar Sharma are to be believed, they said that the doctor was under extreme stress for the last three days for having been suspended by Director Health Services (DHS) Jammu for no fault of his. It all started when attendant of a patient admitted in Government Hospital Gandhinagar wanted Dr. Sudhakar Sharma, who is an Anaesthetist to declare the patient he was accompanying fit for surgery, said the relatives.
They added that Dr. Sudhakar refused on the grounds that the patient was not medically fit for being operated upon. However, the attendant of the patient kept insisting Dr. Sudhakar to give in writing that the patient was fit for being for surgery, said the close friends of Dr. Sudhakar. They added that this led to an altercation between the doctor and the attendant.
The attendant wanted the doctor to declare patient fit for surgery but the doctor refused saying that his pathological tests were not upto the mark and it would have been risky if the surgery would have been done. According to sources, the attendant kept telling the Doctor that he was close friend of Health Minister kin while threatening him of consequences. Doctor pleaded with him not to play with the life of the patient, said those who were present on the spot.
But the attendant left the hospital and came back with the Health Minister accompanying him, said the eye-witnesses. They added that minister without even listening to the story of doctor strongly directed the Director Health Services (DHS) Jammu to put Dr. Sudhakar Sharma under suspension pending inquiry. Eye-witnesses and friends of the doctor maintain that he tried his level best to make the minister understand the entire issue but to no avail.
The Health Minister left and the Director later ordered suspension of Dr. Sudhakar Sharma. Having been served with the suspension order, family members of the doctor said that he could stop sleep for two days and was under tremendous stress. "He would have committed suicide such was the level of stress," added a family member. He left for hospital in the morning and we came to know in the afternoon that he has suffered a heart attack," added a family member.
They said that Health Minister would be responsible if anything untoward happens to Dr. Sudhakar Sharma. "We will knock the doors of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, if anything happens to doctor," said a relative of Dr. Sudhakar. When the last reports came in, he was in the stable and in the intensive care unit (ICU) of GMC&SH. |
