An Aggrieved Family Express Concern On Top STNM Cardiologist

HEART PATIENT'S FAMILY ACCUSES TOP STNM DOCTOR OF NEGLIGENCE
Gangtok, 27 August 2023 - A controversy has erupted following allegations of negligence against Dr. D.P. Rai, the Head of the Cardio Department at STNM Hospital, by the family of a heart patient. The patient, identified as Abichandra Luitel, a 70-year-old farmer, r/o Luing was allegedly subjected to improper treatment, leading to a worsening of his condition.
Accompanied by the patient's younger sister, Ambika Luitel Adhikari, and his daughter, Shanti Luitel, the family has raised concerns about the care provided by Dr. D.P. Rai. According to them, the patient's troubles began on June 26th when he was initially examined by Dr. Rai. The doctor prescribed sleeping pills in addition to regular cardiovascular medication and advised a visit to the Orthopedic department.
On the subsequent visit to the Orthopedic department on July 7th, medication was prescribed which reportedly exacerbated the patient's pain. This was particularly concerning as the patient had previously undergone open-heart surgery in 2019 due to his pre-existing heart condition.
As the patient's condition worsened, marked by severe fever and intense back pain, he revisited Dr. D.P. Rai's clinic. Allegedly, the doctor denied the patient an ECG and ECHO, opting instead for an increased dosage of antibiotics and fever-reducing medication. The patient continued to suffer from shivering high fevers.
The situation escalated further, prompting the patient's family to consult Dr. C.L. Pradhan, a Neuropsychiatrist, on August 3rd. Following this consultation, the patient was admitted to STNM Hospital for 12 days. During the course of the patient's treatment, the family alleges that their inquiries about an ECG and ECHO were met with rudeness from Dr. Rai.
Dr. B.N. Sharma, another medical professional from the Medicine department, recommended that the patient should not be discharged until receiving a review from cardio specialist Dr. D.P. Rai himself. Acting on this advice, the family presented an ECHO report to Dr. Rai, but their attempts were met with discourteous behavior and the doctor allegedly declined to review the report.
With the patient's condition deteriorating rapidly, including symptoms like high fever, sweating, and swelling, the family decided to seek care at Siliguri's Dr. Nayak's Nursing Home. There, Dr. Tomar from the Cardio Department disclosed the gravity of the situation, stating that the patient's condition was critical and that he needed to be transferred to Apollo Hospital in Kolkata. The patient is now being kept stable with inotropic support and is scheduled for surgery on August 28th.
The allegations against Dr. D.P. Rai have ignited a debate on the quality of healthcare provided and the conduct of medical professionals at STNM Hospital. The family's concerns have drawn attention to the need for thorough investigations and improved patient care protocols in the region's medical facilities. Authorities are urged to address these allegations promptly and ensure that patients receive the best possible care.

All HODs in stnm is the same they have no time for us. They always have one thing or the other which is more important than us. They are always late in the morning, we cannot expect to meet them when we want to, half of the time they are busy in their private clinic. Can the government not provide a Doctor who is 100 percent dedicated? Why are they allowing them to open their own private clinic. And the astonishing thing is, the said Doctor would treat us better when we visit their private clinic( Dr. Lamtha is a big example). Truly disappointing..

[@tenzingjamphel]

Ys private practice should be banned actually…

[@holistictraveller4217]

Such a big disgrace.This Doctor should be terminated from his duty and medical association also must scrap his license for any further practice..Shame to a beautiful profession..

[@shilasharma5877]

[@jo9984]

That is medical negligence and is not acceptable! Innocent patient and families have suffered unnecessarily and is eligible for compensation. That "so called " doctor's medical registration should be taken away and family should make formal complaint to medical association as soon as possible. Don't let him go off that easily otherwise the abuse and malpractices will continue.

डाक्टर कहिले भगवान त कहिले यमराज बन्दो रहेछ। डाक्टर साहबहरू सधैं भगवान बन्न नसकेता पनि बिमारी संग यमराज जस्तो व्यवहार चै कहिले नगरी दिनु हवस्। तपाईंहरूको पीडा फ्रसटेसन ती सोझा सिधा बिरामी र बिरामीको परिवारलाई नदेखाई दिनु हवस्। डाक्टरलाई साँच्चै नै दोस्रो भगवान नै मानेका हुन्छन् बिमारी र बिरामीका परिवारले , आधा बिमार त डाक्टर र स्वास्थ्यकर्मी को असल व्यवहारले नै बिरामी सन्चो भएको महसुस गर्दछन्,यसोसले हजुरहरूलाई बिन्ती छ लाचार परी रहेको बेला बोली ले बाण को होइन मलम लगाई दिने काम गरोस्। 🙏🙏🤝

Hospital management as a whole needs to learn some people management skills before being appointed in any of the role.Being a part of such a noble profession requires humility.I have witnessed many a people that refrains going to STNM these days due to similar experiences.
