This item was filled under [ Asia, General ]

hindustantimes.com on February 15, 2012 reported that a south Mumbai couple has dragged a city gynaecologist to court for alleged negligence during the delivery of their child, which resulted in complications for the mother, 32-year-old Anuja Shah. The Shahs allege that during a Caesarean section delivery, Dr Niranjan Pai accidentally sutured the woman's uterus to the urethra, which led to a damage to the kidney and uncontrollable discharge of blood and urine. The complaint states that on March 22, 2011, Dr Pai helped Anuja Shah deliver a bay through a caesarean operation. After the surgery, Shah complained of severe abdominal pain, which the doctor dismissed as routine pain and administered a pain-killer.
