Medical Negligence Alleged in Motihari After Young Woman Dies During Surgery

Published on

A disturbing case of alleged medical negligence has emerged from Motihari district in Bihar. A 25-year-old woman reportedly lost her life due to a grave surgical lapse. The incident has triggered anger and fear across the local area. Family members allege that a pair of scissors was left inside her abdomen during surgery. This mistake allegedly led to her death nearly one and a half years later.

The deceased has been identified as Usha Devi, wife of Manibhushan Kumar. She was a resident of the Jitna police station area in Motihari. According to the family, the incident dates back to around eighteen months ago. At that time, Usha Devi was pregnant and admitted for delivery.

Surgery Chosen Over Normal Delivery

Family members stated that Usha Devi was taken to the clinic of Dr Sangeeta Kumari in Motihari city. After initial examinations, the doctor advised a surgical delivery. The family agreed to the operation, trusting the medical advice given. The surgery was performed, and Usha Devi gave birth to a healthy baby girl.

Initially, everything appeared normal after the delivery. The family believed the operation had been successful. However, within a few days, Usha Devi started experiencing persistent abdominal pain. The pain did not subside with time and gradually became part of her daily life.

Persistent Pain Ignored for Months

Concerned family members repeatedly approached doctors regarding her condition. Several medical consultations were conducted during this period. Ultrasound tests were also performed, but reports did not indicate any serious issue. Doctors prescribed painkillers, which provided temporary relief.

Despite medication, the pain never fully disappeared. Usha Devi continued to suffer silently for nearly one and a half years. The family claims that no doctor identified the real cause during this long period. Her condition was often dismissed as routine post-surgery discomfort.

Condition Worsens Suddenly

A few days ago, Usha Devi’s health deteriorated sharply. She developed unbearable abdominal pain, leaving her unable to move. Alarmed by her condition, the family rushed her to Dr Kamlesh Kumar for consultation. After examining her, the doctor advised an MRI scan immediately.

The MRI report shocked everyone involved. It revealed the presence of a pair of scissors inside Usha Devi’s abdomen. The doctor described the situation as extremely critical. He warned that immediate surgery was necessary to save her life.

Emergency Surgery and Tragic Death

Following the MRI findings, the family took Usha Devi to Rahmania Medical Center. Preparations for emergency surgery were made. According to relatives, doctors removed the scissors during the operation. However, her condition worsened rapidly during the procedure.

Usha Devi reportedly died on the operation table. News of her death spread quickly, causing chaos inside the hospital premises. Family members broke down, struggling to accept the sudden loss. The incident left hospital staff and bystanders stunned.

Family Alleges Gross Medical Negligence

The deceased woman’s brother-in-law, Trilokinath, accused the doctors of serious negligence. He stated that the scissors must have been left inside her body during the initial delivery surgery. He claimed that proper care could have saved her life.

He also alleged that Usha Devi suffered intense pain for months. Despite frequent hospital visits, no accurate diagnosis was made. According to him, timely investigation could have prevented this tragedy. He said the family trusted doctors blindly and paid a heavy price.

The family highlighted that a one-and-a-half-year-old child has now lost her mother. They described the loss as irreparable. The incident has devastated the entire household emotionally and financially.

Police Begin Investigation

After receiving information about the death, police were informed immediately. A team reached the hospital and began preliminary inquiries. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination. Police officials stated that further action will depend on the post-mortem report.

Authorities confirmed that statements from family members and doctors will be recorded. All medical records related to the case will be examined carefully. Police said legal action would be initiated if negligence is confirmed.

Rising Questions Over Private Medical Care

This case has once again raised serious questions about medical practices in private clinics. Allegations of negligence have intensified public concern regarding patient safety. Local residents have expressed anger and fear after learning about the incident.

The family has demanded strict action against those responsible. They want accountability to ensure such incidents do not repeat. Residents believe stronger monitoring of private medical facilities is urgently needed.

Demand for Justice Grows Louder

As news spread, calls for justice grew stronger within the community. People have urged authorities to conduct a fair and transparent investigation. The incident has highlighted the importance of strict medical protocols during surgeries.

For the grieving family, the loss of Usha Devi is beyond repair. What was meant to be a moment of joy turned into a prolonged nightmare. The case now stands as a grim reminder of the consequences of alleged medical negligence.

The final outcome will depend on investigation findings. Until then, the family continues to mourn while awaiting justice.
