Kota, Rajasthan – In a startling incident at Kota Medical College, a man named Manish has alleged that doctors performed surgery on his paralyzed father by mistake, instead of on him. The shocking mix-up has raised serious concerns about medical negligence and hospital protocols at the government-run facility.
According to Manish, he had recently suffered injuries in a road accident and was scheduled to undergo surgery at the hospital. To support him through the process, he called upon his elderly father, who is paralyzed and unable to walk without assistance. However, what unfolded next has left the family in disbelief.
“I was admitted for my operation, and my father was only there to be with me,” Manish recounted. “But due to some confusion or gross negligence, the doctors took him for surgery instead. No one even verified the patient’s identity properly.”
Manish claims he was under medication and partially sedated at the time, unable to intervene or realize what was happening. It was only after the surgery that he learned his father, who is already paralyzed, had been operated on in his place. Doctors
The nature of the surgery mistakenly performed on the father remains unclear, and hospital authorities have yet to issue a detailed statement. The family is now demanding strict action against the medical staff involved and a thorough investigation into the incident.
Local authorities have acknowledged the complaint and stated that an inquiry has been initiated. “We are taking this matter very seriously. A team has been appointed to look into the sequence of events and determine how such a grave mistake could occur,” said an official from the health department.
The incident has sparked outrage and renewed debate over accountability and patient safety in public hospitals. Advocacy groups and citizens alike are calling for stronger measures to ensure proper patient identification and prevent similar tragedies in the future. Doctors
More updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
