IMPHAL, September 14: The JAC formed in connection with the death of L Ajit who succumbed to injuries sustained in an accident involving a doctor has demanded that the doctor who treated the victim at JNIMS and the doctor involved in the accident take responsibility of the accident within two days.<\/p>\n
The victim is identified as Laishram Ajit Singh alias Lokeshwor, 53, of Kwakeithel Thounaoujam Leikai.<\/p>\n
JAC secretary Thongam Kombirei said the JAC will launch severe forms of agitations if the two doctors failed to meet the demand within the set deadline.<\/p>\n
(L) Ajit`\u2122s son in law, Pukhrambam Devan said on August 21 late evening, his father in law was driving a Maruti Alto car and trying to cross the main road near the Old Assembly Road when his car was hit by a Santro car which was being driven by Dr Ayam Sylvia Devi.<\/p>\n
He added that his father in law was taken to the JNIMS in an auto rickshaw, where he was attended to by Dr Ibomcha.<\/p>\n
Dr Ibomcha recommended a CT Scan as the patient had hit his head during the accident, Devan said.<\/p>\n
He said his father in law underwent six stitches.<\/p>\n
He continued that the next day Dr Ibomcha after examining the CT Scan report said his father in law was out of danger and accordingly a discharge memo was served to the relatives.<\/p>\n
On august 23, however, his father in law`\u2122s health deteriorated and had to be rushed to the RIMS casualty, he said.<\/p>\n
However, the RIMS authority citing that the institution had no dedicated neurology facility suggested shifting him to a more advanced medical institution following which he was shifted to Shija Hospitals and Research Institute, Devan claimed.<\/p>\n
On September 13 after undergoing a series of multiple surgeries, the patient was declared dead, he said.<\/p>\n
The JAC and the son in law also claimed that Ajit died because of negligence of Dr Ibomcha who discharged him without proper examination and Dr Sylvia`\u2122s reckless driving.<\/p>\n\n
