In a freak incident, a newborn died after the infant slipped and his head got stuck in a commode in the Lala Lajpat Rai hospital. The doctors at the hospital apparently refused to admit a pregnant woman, Haseen Bano, 30, when she came to the emergency ward.
Later, the woman gave birth to a newborn on the toilet seat. During this, the head of the newborn got stuck in the siphon. The hospital staff broke the toilet seat and pulled the infant out, but by then the newborn had succumbed. At the same time, the condition of the mother also deteriorated.
Taking cognizance of the matter, Dr Sanjay Kala, principal Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi memorial medical college, has ordered a probe after forming a committee.
Haseen Bano (30) wife of Mobin, a resident of Kantipur in Shivrajpur block, came to the hospital emergency at 8.30 pm on Wednesday night. “She was admitted to Bed 40 of Ward 7 at 10.30 pm under the supervision of Dr Vishal Gupta of Medicine on symptoms of dengue,” informed her kin while talking to reporters.
Mobin, her husband further said that at around 12.30 pm, he pleaded with the doctors and nursing staff present there when his wife was in acute labor pain. “Instead of helping us, the staff bluntly replied saying that this is not their job, and asked me to remain quiet.
It was when her labour pain became unbearable, his wife went to the toilet, where she delivered the newborn, but shockingly the child slipped and the head of the newborn got stuck in the hole of the seat,” he alleged. They tried to take it out, but in vain.
In the meantime, other family members rushed to the emergency room and sought help from the staff. The Emergency Medical Officer (EMO) arrived there with the police. He also tried but all his efforts proved futile. After an hour and a half, the child was taken out by breaking the seat, but the child had died.
