DU student alleges of wrong treatment against Square hospital

‘The condition of my left hand and left leg is deteriorating day by day. I am a bit of lame for my left leg and my left hand is getting totally inactive’.

Mehedi Hasan Shamim, a student of Women and Gender Studies department under Dhaka University has alleged that such consequence has happened to him following being a victim of wrong treatment under Square hospital physician Krishna Prabhu.

On Thursday he upheld different information and evidences at a press conference at the office of Dhaka University journalist association.

Describing the incident Shamim said, as I was diagnosed with insular cavernoma (brain tumor) so I got admission in Square hospital on October 18, 2018 under Dr. Krishna Prabhu who advised me to perform immediate operation. He said if the operation was not performed then I could die anytime after stroke. He also said that he will perform the operation easily. But the doctor consciously avoided the issue of possible risk and post operative symptoms when repeatedly asked. His motive was to serve the business purpose of Square.

Shamim mentioned that on January 23, 2019 the operation was done. He said, after the operation when I was in ICU my attendant (younger brother) was not informed about my physical condition. On January 25 when I asked to go to washroom the duty physician told my younger brother that my left portion of the body was not working. Later when we asked the hospital authority to give the CD of operation for further treatment but they began to dilly-dally over the matter.
