COVID-19 Patient Dies Because His Family Disconnects Ventilator To Plug In Cooler

In a very shocking incident recently, a COVID-19 patient died not because of this infectious virus but his family. The man was hospitalized in Kota district, Rajasthan and his family came to meet him at the hospital. Because of the scorching heat of the summer, they disconnected the ventilator in order to plug in the air conditioner.

The incident that led to the unfortunate death of a man took place on 15 June in the Maharao Bhimsingh Hospital. Soon after his demise, a committee was immediately formed to invest in the incident.

The representative stated,

“We have set up the committee to investigate the incident based on the primary information. The committee includes deputy superintendent of the hospital, nursing superintendent and CMO. We will look into the matter and then shall explore further action for a need to go to the police."

The late COVID-19 patient’s family members came to visit him at the hospital. They unplugged the ventilator helping deliver breaths to the patient and turned on the cooler switch that they had bought from outside. The patient’s ventilator later worked on the battery but it also soon collapsed. The patient instantly turned critical and finally took his final breath.

The doctors came rushing after being informed about his condition and did their best to save the patient’s life. However, the result was still unfavorable and he died.

Meanwhile, the relatives attacked the medical personnel when the patient passed away. Doctor Varun who was on duty later submitted a complaint alleging that the relatives misbehaved with the hospital’s staff.
