RG Kar Superintendent gave a strong response to Abhishek Banerjee's post, said: The allegations of patient's death without treatment are false – News India Live | News India

Kolkata, 07 September (HS). The allegation of the death of a patient without treatment at RG Kar Medical is false. On Saturday, RG Kar Superintendent Saptarishi Chatterjee gave this reply to a social media post made by Trinamool General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee.

In fact, Trinamool General Secretary Abhishek Banerjee claimed in a social media post on Saturday that a youth from Konnagar died due to lack of treatment at R.G. Kar Hospital. He claimed that this death was due to the agitation of junior doctors. He also wrote that if someone dies due to negligence, then that negligence will be considered equivalent to murder.

Responding to this, Saptarshi Chatterjee said that he has all the records of the treatment given to the patient during his stay in the hospital for about three hours from admission to death. He also assured the general public that if any patient comes to RG Kar Hospital, he will not return without treatment.

Saptarshi Chatterjee said that according to the information I have, the patient was admitted here at 8:40 am. He was referred here from another hospital. He was a polytrauma patient. Our orthopedic specialists and senior doctors of the trauma care team started treating him immediately. His digital X-ray was done. The treatment that should be given as per the rules has been given. He had a head injury. After this, while getting a CT scan done, he started having problems in his brain. He was treated completely in the hospital for about three hours. The patient died at around 12:30 in the afternoon. It is completely wrong news that the patient died without treatment. I have the complete record of his treatment. Since this is a police case, the cause of death will be known only after the post-mortem.

He said that if someone applies under the Right to Information (RTI) Act, we have no objection. We have the complete medical record of the patient from admission to death. Not only senior doctors but all the concerned departments of the hospital are working day and night to provide services to the patients. It will never happen that a patient comes with RG and does not get treatment.
