15 days before Rakshabandhan, a sister lost her only brother during the ongoing strike of doctors in the state.
According to the police, Divyang Parmar and his friend Rahul Jadhav were going to Narhari Hospital on a bike to take medicine for their friend who was feeling dizzy early in the morning on August 6th. They were on their way to Fategunj Circle and Rahul Jadhav lost control of the bike near Hill Memorial School and crashed with the divider. Rahul Jadhav sustained serious head injuries in the accident, while Divyang Parmar sustained minor injuries.
Pedestrians called an ambulance and Rahul was rushed to Sayaji Hospital for immediate treatment. He was rushed to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital in critical condition after doctors asked him to be taken there. His treatment started at the hospital, but as doctors were on strike, his family brought him back to Vadodara and admitted him to a private hospital where he succumbed to injuries on Sunday afternoon during treatment.
Vishal Parmar, the cousin of the deceased said that his brother died due to the doctor’s strike. He was first taken to Sayaji hospital for treatment but no doctor was ready to treat him. They then took him to Ahmedabad Civil Hospital, where his treatment was started but the doctors were not present and he did not get proper treatment. So they brought him to Vadodara, where he died during treatment. “I have lost my brother due to the carelessness of the doctors. We appeal to the government to look into the demands of doctors so that no one loses their brother or family”.
Sayajiganj police registered a case of an accident and further investigating the matter.
