A press note containing the findings of the investigation team headed by the Deputy Medical Superintendent of the PGI, Dr Behara, was issued here today.

She had been operated upon for a parotid tumor about three years ago by Dr Gurpreet. Since he was away on December 12, 2002, and she was complaining of facial swelling, she was examined by Dr J.D. Wig in the surgical OPD and, apparently, there was no problem in the parotid tumour. Next day, she was in discomfort and did not pass urine for about 24 hours. The wife of Dr Gurpreet Singh advised her to take medical consultation.

Till 10.30 pm when she did not come to the emergency, the resident on duty informed Dr Gurpreet Singh. A slip was found which showed that she had taken medical advise from a private practitioner who had prescribed drugs with a diagnosis of gastritis. At about 4 am on December 10, 2001, when she came to the emergency, she had non-palpable pulse and was in a state of shock. A cut in the chest was made to make a line in one of the central veins, a usual procedure in treatment of patients in shock. Dr Gurpreet Singh was duly informed by the senior resident of the condition of the patient. The report further says that the patient did not report in time on December 9, 2001, for medical help even when she was not well. There is no medical negligence on part of the doctor on duty.
