SHOCKING: Doctors continue treatment of woman even after her death to increase hospital bill

Bhopal: A woman was brought to the LBS hospital in Bhopal after she complained of chest pain. Astonishingly, the doctors kept treating her even after she died in order to increase her bill amount. The muddle was disclosed when the friend of woman's husband who is a doctor by profession came to check on her. When he checked the pulse of Seema Sahay, he told her husband Maden Nandan that she is dead. The annoyed husband filed a complaint in the court in this regard. After the order from the court, the police registered the case of 'fraud' against the Director of the hospital and 4 doctors involved in the case and sent them court notice. The incident happened when 55-year-old Seema Sahay was admitted in the hospital after she complained of chest pain. Seema's husband Madan Nandan is an advocate by profession. The doctors started her treatment in the hospital and also conducted an angiography. The next day, Madan Nandan's friend doctor Durlabh Singh Malhotra visited the hospital to ask about Seema's health. When he checked the pulse of Seema, it was revealed that she was dead. Thereafter, the other doctors of the hospital also declared her dead. Madan filed a complaint in the court in the same regard. After investigation, the police had sent notices to Director of hospital Dr Bhupendra Srivastava, GS Gautam, Rohit Srivastava and Anand Yadav after lodging the case. Regarding this case, Dr Bhupendra Srivastava, the Director of LBS hospital said 'The woman was admitted in the hospital for 8 days and she was on ventilator for 4 days. The urine of the woman was recorded on the day she was declared dead. Thus the allegation of treating her even after she died is false.' 'The husband of late Seema Sahay is demanding Rs. 5 lakh to suppress the matter. Only because we did not pay him the money, he took the matter to the court', he added.
