Youth loses leg: Docs held responsible
Jalandhar, March 11 Ram Singh, a resident of Talwandi Bhillan village here, said he met with an accident on June 12, 2007 and his right leg was damaged seriously below knee. He said on the same day he was admitted by his father about 10 am in Johal Hospital where he was treated by Dr B.S. Johal and another visiting doctor Vishal Modgil. He alleged at the time of his admission, blood in the lower limb of his leg was not running and instead of giving first aid treatment for regulating circulation and blood cells, the doctors planted T-bullet plate in his tibia. He alleged that the treatment was provided firstly on fixing the bone and not for circulation of blood in the leg. The complainant further alleged that his condition kept on deteriorating as he remained in the hospital for about 12 days and a dry gangrene had developed below his right knee. On June 23, 2007, the father of the complainant immediately removed the complainant to Bharaj Life Care Hospital, Jalandhar Road, Hoshiarpur. He said doctors in the hospital told his father that it was too late and if the leg was not removed immediately, his condition could become more critical and poison could spread all over his body and might even cause death. He said his leg was amputated below the knee and he remained admitted at Bharaj Hospital till July 14, 2007 Dr B.S. Johal said the patient was bleeding excessively and condition of his leg was bad. He said that his surgery was conducted to stabilise the bone and to close the wounds. He said the patient was given proper fixation and proper treatment, as depicted in the standard textbooks of orthopaedics. The complainant argued that the artiography test or colour doplar test was required to be conducted. He further complained that no medical strategy and implication of surgical operations was explained to him or his attendants. He said that no X-ray report or lab reports or medical treatment records were supplied to him which constituted negligence. The forum found that no written consent of either the patient or his attendant had been taken regarding line of treatment and operation. “The doctor admits that the arteries were found intact at the time of operation and further admits that blood circulation would not be restored during treatment and that dry gangrene had developed in one week. It also found that the doctors had failed to explain through documentation or textbooks as to why dry gangrene had developed when the patient’s foot was fully moving and muscles were red on the second day. Since risk management coverage has been given by United India Insurance and Apex Insurance, the forum has asked them to pay up compensation jointly within one month.

IMA election under cloud
Jalandhar, March 11 Dr Gupta alleged that he was declared ineligible for the election as per the new rules and bylaws
framed by the local unit of the IMA. He, however, alleged that the new rules and bylaws themselves were
yet to be approved by the headquarters of the IMA. “As per the constitution of the IMA, a local branch shall send its set of rules and bylaws to the headquarters with a copy to the state branch office. The state branch shall forward its comments, if any, within four weeks from the date of receipt. The state branch shall, however, have no powers to approve or modify the same,” said Dr Gupta. It is pertinent to mention here that in January, 2010, the national secretary of IMA intimated the Jalandhar unit that rules and regulation sent by the local unit were not in conformity with the IMA constitution and that they should be rewritten and sent for approval, he added. He alleged that in spite of demanding a copy of rules and regulations, under which elections were to be conducted, he was not given any reply by the authorities concerned. “The elections commission gave me no reason in writing for rejection of my candidature. On December 12, the day on which elections were to be conducted, I received a message on my mobile phone that some other person has been elected for the post. The commission did not even cite the reason for not conducting the elections,” he alleged. He also alleged that no date for scrutiny of nomination papers was given between the date of submission and last date of filing. Though a tribunal, constituting two past presidents of the IMA, was constituted to inquire into the matter, but the complainant has yet to receive any written communication pertaining to the inquiry. Dr Gupta said he would approach the Punjab and Haryana High Court if the board failed to sought the mater. Meanwhile, Dr R.C. Gupta, member of the tribunal, also confirmed that the bylaws of the local unit of the IMA were not approved and in the absence of such bylaws, bylaws of the state IMA were automatically applied to the local units. He confirmed that there was no such clause in the bylaws of the state unit of the IMA which forbid the complainant to contest election. He, however, said anything concrete could only be said after the collective decision of the board. The state president of the IMA, Dr R.S. Parmar could not be contacted despite repeated attempts. |

Olympian Bhupinder Singh and Sanjeev Kumar are the coaches of the hockey team at the college. Talking to The Tribune, coach of the team Bhupinder Singh said the boys got world-class facilities at the Punjab and Sind bank Hockey Academy cell. “The success of the team is the result of the daily practice sessions. Apart from providing the latest facilities, the college also ensures free diet to the players,” he added. At present, the team is looking forward to the upcoming Abdullah Gold Cup, which will be held in Bhopal from March 23 to 29. “The members of the senior team and those from the academy would participate in the tournament. The highlight of the tournament is cash award of Rs 5 lakh for the winning team, Rs 3 lakh for the first runners-up and Rs 2 lakh for the second runners-up,” he added.

The team was awarded a cash prize of Rs 25,000 in the tournament. It is pertinent to mention here that last year the trophy was won by the local DAV College. “Earlier the Punjab and Sind Bank Academy cell was at the local DAV College. It shifted to Khalsa College in the last academic session,” added Bhupinder Singh. The Punjab and Sind Bank Academy cell was established at the local Lyallpur Khalsa College. With the availability of quality infrastructure and professional training, the budding players have been getting an ideal platform to hone their skills. The college spends a massive Rs 40 lakh on sports upgradation in the college. Team players were Gurvinder Singh, Gauravjit Singh, Harbir Singh, Jasjeet Singh, Rajnish Kumar, Jagjit Singh, Gurpreet Singh, Jaspreet Singh, Harwant Singh, Ranjodh Singh, Jaskaran Singh, Gagandeep Singh, Mandeep Singh, Amolak Singh, Rajbir Singh and Ajay Kumar. |

3 men left to handle 20,000 cattle
Jalandhar, March 11 The dairy complex has been facilitated with one dispensary, which is staffed with only one veterinary officer and two pharmacists. Owners of the dairies rue that though names of four persons including a doctor have been displayed along with cell numbers, on the notice board of the veterinary dispensary, nobody is available in the complex after 5 pm. “Only one doctor is posted in the dispensary. Besides taking care of nearly 20,000 cattle in this complex, he has to perform other official works also. The number of veterinary professionals is not at all sufficient to cater to all the dairies. Though one pharmacist is posted here for emergency services, the results are not fruitful. It is not possible for a staff of three persons to treat a population of 20,000 cattle”, said Amrik Singh, Secretary of the Jamsher Dairy Union. He said the situation turned grave only when the dairies were displaced from the city. “Contrary to the cluster in
this complex, dairies were located at safe distances from each other in the city. Prevalence of sporadic outbreak of disease is much higher in this complex as diaries are located in close proximity,” he added. He said nearly 30-40 cattle and calves die per day in the complex at an average. The situation turns more worrisome at the time of an outbreak, said Amrik Singh. While conceding staff crunch as the reason behind the acute unavailability of doctors, Deputy Director Dr. Amarjit Singh said as per the number of cattle housed in the complex, at least three doctors are required to deliver quality care. “The department is already struggling with the shortage of professionals. Though dairy owners have approached us with their grievances, we are unable to create any new post as of now”, he said. |
