Don't think I would go to this doctor.
In a situation described as "utter medical negligence," a baby girl in India who was originally pronounced dead by hospital staff was later found to be found alive—in the middle of her own burial service.
The mistake reportedly occurred today due to employees at the Sub District Hospital in Jammu and Kashmir's Banihal, where the baby girl was diagnosed as stillborn.
The Press Trust of India reported that the girl "was found to be alive" when her family dug up her grave approximately one hour after she was buried.
Once hospital workers shared the worst possible news, locals from about two miles around the Bankoot village began to stage a demonstration to protest the burial site of the baby—who was buried in a regular graveyard rather than at an ancestral site.
According to NDTV, a local sarpanch or decision-maker named Manzoor Alyas Wani alleged that the baby was declared dead and did not receive proper medical attention at the hospital for a period of two hours prior to the burial at a local village.
That was when locals showed up on the scene to protest the burial site, forcing the gravesite to be dug up by the family.
"To their utter shock, the infant girl was found alive and crying," alleged locals, according to Greater Kashmir. The baby then was taken back to the original hospital and then referred to a hospital in Kashmir for specialized treatment.
"This is (the) height of negligence and non-professionalism on the part of doctors and other staff posted at SDH Banihal," a protesting local reportedly said during the demonstration.
Kashmir Life reported that the specialized hospital is in Srinagar, the largest city of Jammu and Kashmir. Following the burial, a police party headed by station house officer Banihal Muneer Khan arrived at the protest site, reportedly pacifying protesters "with the assurance that action, as warranted under the law, will be taken against whosoever found culpable for the dereliction."
