KOTTAYAM: Kottayam Medical Superintend has come out with the explanation for the death of the patient called Jacob Thomas in the hospital on Thursday.
The Superintend said that doctors in the casualty department were totally unware of the fact that the patient in serious condition was lying inside the ambulance. The PRO of the hospital had failed to inform the doctors about the case.
The Superintend said that these facts would be verified. “The patient’s daughter asked whether ventilator support was available in the hospital and we replied in the negative. When the PRO was looking for alternative options, the relatives took away the patient,” the superintend claimed.
