AIIMS Nagpur Director refutes PG students' claim on surgeon's incompetency

AIIMS Nagpur Director Dr Vibha Dutta and the surgeon have said that the allegations are baseless and anonymous.

After the postgraduate students of AIIMS Nagpur levelled serious allegations against one of the surgeons and a senior faculty member of the institute, AIIMS Nagpur Director Dr Vibha Dutta refuted the allegations by saying it was baseless.

A few days ago, undergraduate students also posted their grievances on social media and now postgraduate students have said that they found the surgeon "incompetent, arrogant, irresponsible and irrational," as reported by TOI.

As per PG students' complaint, "The surgeon has either risked the lives of patients during operations, delayed surgeries or denied post-operative care for the unexplained reasons. He is incapable at all levels. He is an incompetent surgeon. He is not able to do any major surgery alone like thyroidectomy, laparotomy and parotidectomy . He is not aware where to take incision in any particular surgery. Once there was major intra operative bleeding and because of this he fainted and rest of the case was managed by juniors."

“One patient was operated by him for multiple peritoneal and hepatic hydatid cyst. Post-operation, the patient developed SSI (surgical site infection) and pus was oozing from the sutured area. He didn’t allow the patient a USG or CT and even screamed at the faculty who suggested it. The patient went home without knowing post-operative findings and we couldn’t give proper advice,” read the complaint.

Dr Vibha Dutta and the surgeon have reportedly said that the allegations are baseless.

On December 11, five years after laying the foundation stone of AIIMS Nagpur, PM Modi inaugurated the AIIMS.
