A mother has lost her child after two senior doctors in Jodhpur’s Umaid Hospital got involved in an argument during a C-section operation. The two doctors were removed after they were purportedly seen in a video fighting inside an operation theatre during surgery on a woman on Tuesday. The incident attracted huge backlash and the Rajasthan High Court has asked for a report by this afternoon too.
The video, shot by nursing staff showed assistant professor of obstetrics and gynaecology Dr Ashok Nanival operating on a patient and arguing with professor of anaesthesia Dr Mathura Lal Tak. The identity of the two doctors was confirmed by the hospital. A probe was ordered.
As per the superintendent of the hospital, the woman was brought in a serious condition. She was immediately moved to the operation theatre for a C-section. “We are yet to ascertain if the newborn’s death was because of the spat. The cause of death is severe birth asphyxia,” she said.
