A PREGNANT WOMAN FALLS YET ANOTHER VICTIM TO MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE IN PAKISTAN

[Dubious]

No doubt justice should be served after hearing both sides of the story. The whole post revolves around one patient in Liaquat National Hospital which houses close to 700 beds not counting on walk ins and emergency services. Its adequately run with the amount of money it gets. This might not be the first negligence case nor will it be the last. Third world countries have to balance and choose between over population and services they receive.

That is no excuse...the very fact that the doc wasnt present and those present werent bothered...Just look at the timeline and the article also has pix of the msgs he sent ...He tried to call the doc too...She is a paid PUBLIC SERVANT.....

The worst part was the patient was 99% dead and the stupid lady had the audacity to say shift her to ICU for a day and she will be fine...What did the bitch expect? The patient to fully recover after being 1 day in ICU that to from 99% dead situation?

Very very sad indeed. I can't say anything without knowing the doctor's verdict. But reading this it seems it is a case of malpractice and negligence. Obs and gynae consultants are the worst ever reckless doctors I have seen in my practice. I do however don't understand why the family has not taken her to another hospital knowing that doctors were not treating the lady? I do agree why they wanted to put her on vent ,i.e., to declare her death at some later stage to buy some time to make up a medico-legal story + see ... we have tried everything and the last resort as well + to make money. This is a common practice in some hospitals specially those you find at the corner of your street. Of course they are not proper hospitals run by villa owners. The staff usually have no clue, no understanding and barely follow the instructions. Even their ventilators are not in working order and they put the dead body on it for 2. 3 days just to make money astaghfirullah. Oh I can go on and on....we are a doomed nation in every sense, trust me!

This isnt a street clinic...Its a proper hospital...

The list goes on. We are talking about thousands of lives cut short everyday in these hospitals. Not just one c section case of a guy who knew how to text and post. Blaming this whole situation on these semi literate doctors and dilapidated hospitals is just ludicrous. There is no money to sustain a city of this size with that amount of population. This is not a reversible process.

Yet we have money for metro bus and train?

Does Pakistan have the same problem of fake doctors too who buy degrees like some in India? This guy looks like he's a quack. C-section isn't rocket science.

The doc is a lady...yup quack or not the very fact she wanted to put a half dead woman on ICU and tell the family she will be in ICU for 1 day and will be fine - when she had complications and bled to death during the operation is the most disgusting crap a doctor can say!

I wouldn't go that far reading about a facebook post. As in: One side of the story. This is a country of 200 million people with inadequate medical staff. All our doctors are not with "doctors without borders" but "doctors trying to hop the borders". Whoever is left is actually trying to work for the country or just too lazy or incapable to be considered abroad.

Thanks man : you must be of those people who thank that even shit from the Brits smells like perfume
Why don't you just go an drown somewhere , rather than putting your country or its people down

Before posting all this , did any one ask what was the other side of the story or where that too busy with their own brilliant minds and jumped to conclusions

This is where our politicians and courts have completely failed us..
Protection from medical harm is right of people. Government and courts should make legislation to protect people from medical harm

Let me put it straight..

Current system relies on doctors without any check or balance...
Its fine and hundreds of thousands of patients are treated competently every day...

But what about that one f*ck up? That one lazy sheep who defames whole profession. No law exists for medical malpractice in pakistan...

Here come governments role.. to make such laws...

She is "Dr". Shahnaz Akbar Hussaini of Liaquat National Hospital Karachi. She is "gynaecologist". She devastated a happy family. She deprived four kids of her mother. She killed a fine lady. When husband of patient was crying for help, she was not even picking phone. Patient who was 9 month pregnant died with excruciating pain. Patient was admitted with her approval.
She must be arrested and tried for murder. She must be banned for lifetime to practice. She must be made a horrible example so that no mother dies because of negligence.
Friends, share picture and name of this brutal doctor.

PS: My question to all moralists is: If your sister and daughter or mother is killed by her, how would you feel.

No doubt she should be brought to justice if she is the culprit. At the same time don't exaggerate without knowing her view point. This is where we all cross our limits.

For those who are asking for other side of story....Can I honestly ask you if it was your mother, your sister, your cousin....ANYONE related to YOU...would you ask other side? Just be honest...

2ndly, Lets say she was busy elsewhere, where was backup staff? Was there only 1 doctor in a whole bloody hospital who is capable of C-section?

3rdly, why the hell was she putting an already dead person in ICU and telling the husband lies that she will be fine after 1 day in ICU?

None of the above 2 is forgivable...Lets say she wasnt dead even then knowing the situation in no ways is it COMPULSORY for the doctor to lie in fact they have to be honest at ALL times as it is the RIGHT of the family to know the situation...

Doctor should be stopped from practicing and enquiry shud be done by pakistan medical and dental council...which if found negligent shud impose lofe time ban and refer the matter to police....

Agar kisi main akal ho to what is written above can be made into a law

From what is written, story seems to be 99% in favour of the unfortunate one.

From emotional point of view para #1 should be applied immediately with no remorse.
Hospital should be held responsible for point #2.
Her license should be revoked, she must not practice anymore for point #3

You have nil experience of attendants and relatives @Akheilos. If you read my posts, am unfolding many behind the scene inhuman activities of the doctors and hospitals both. For justice you need both versions, for lynching - provoking sentiments of bystanders.
