A shocking case of alleged medical negligence has sparked public outrage in Sopore after a doctor reportedly removed a woman’s uterus instead of performing an ENT surgery.
The incident, which occurred at Hakeem Sonuallah Hospital, has led to widespread anger, with locals demanding strict action, including a lifetime ban on the doctor’s private practice.
The matter came to light after news of the botched surgery went viral on social media, prompting swift intervention from the health department.
Authorities raided the hospital to investigate the claims, further fueling public anger.
Residents and activists have questioned the lack of oversight in private healthcare institutions. “This level of negligence is criminal. A doctor who cannot differentiate between an ENT surgery and a uterus removal has no place in the profession,” said a furious local.
Officials have assured a thorough investigation, and legal action is expected if the allegations are confirmed.
The incident has once again raised concerns about medical ethics and accountability in private hospitals, with many alleging that such cases are often covered up.
Locals have also accused the hospital authorities of attempting to suppress the incident, with some alleging that social media influencers were used to downplay the gravity of the situation.
