Corona Panic: A tragic death in medical negligence in Dhaka Medical College
DHAKA: A woman died on Saturday afternoon at Dhaka Medical College Hospital. According to doctors, he died of gastrointestinal complications. And
the family claims she died of coronavirus panic and neglect of doctors.
Najma Amin, 25, was a graduate student at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. He returned to Dhaka on March 7 and complained of abdominal pain.
Family members said Nazma was unable to eat. He had nausea or severe pain in his stomach at every meal. He was taken to a hospital in Mohammadpur near his house on March 7 due to unbearable pain.
Noting that the ICU (Incentive Care Unit) could not find a hospital where the bed was empty, Najma's father Amin Ullah said, "It is said from the hospital that he needs to be taken to the ICU quickly. Then many nights. '
Nazma was later taken to DMC Hospital. When she was admitted to a ward and given saline, oxygen, and medicines, she felt somewhat healthy. Amin Ullah said, "Her pain was also reduced somewhat."
At eight in the morning, the nurses shift. At half past 11, one of the new nurses wants to know what happened to Nazma? Amin Ullah mentioned the problem, saying that his daughter was recently from Canada.
This information is only for najma. Referring to Canada, the nurse starts shouting, 'She's from Canada! He has a fever too! 'They went to the doctor and told him that he was infected with coronavirus.
Then the chaos spread throughout the ward. No one else came to Nazma. All the doctors and nurses left the ward.
The family complained that Nazma had died in the last few hours of negligence by doctors and nurses on suspicion of coronavirus death.
There is no necessary preparation for coronavirus at DMC Hospital. Neither testing equipment nor medical personnel have protective measures. So they refused to go to the patient.
We went to this ward and talked to some of the staff there.
One ward boy said, 'When everyone heard that there were coronavirus patients in the ward, everyone was shocked. I was there too. I felt like the end of my life had come. What if I become infected with this patient and I infect my family members? '
A nurse said, 'Look, everyone has their own fear of life. Nurses have that fear too. '
Professor of Surgery, under the supervision of Nazma. ABM Jamal said, "When the girl came from Canada, the panic spread in the ward." He added that the situation was normalized very soon.
DMC Hospital Director Brigadier General AKM Nasir Uddin said, "
The staff has no protective measures. They were concerned that they had to stay in contact with a coronavirus patient for a long time. '
"We have had to ask representatives from the IEDCR to check if they have coronavirus," he added, adding that they have done this on an urgent basis with utmost sincerity.
After examination the
Nazma is not coronavirus. However, her physical condition deteriorated due to lack of surveillance for a long time.
About 12:30 pm, a doctor went to Nazma after wearing gloves and a mask. He had a syringe filled with antibiotics. It's too late then. Najma died shortly after the antibiotic was poured into the body.
Dr. ABM Jamal said, "We suspect she had a hole in her heart. That is, her intestines were cracked somewhere. When she was admitted, a lot of fluid was released from her body. '
