In yet another incident of medical negligence, 50 women fell ill after receiving antibiotic injections on Monday morning.
The incident came forward in Gwalior’s Kamala Raja Hospital after 50 pregnant women, some of them who were expecting and some just gave birth, were administered a dose of antibiotics. The women experienced shivers and complained of headache after receiving the injections.
“The staff gave me injections. I have been feeling very cold & experiencing headache ever since,” said one of the women admitted in the hospital.
The injections were administered by trainee male nurse. As the patients and their relatives complained of shivering and headache, the senior doctors sprung into action.
Sources allege that the nurse administered the antibiotic in combination with normal water instead of distilled water.
