18-year-old dies in Madurai hospital after father unable to pay Rs.300 bribe
His son's convulsions and seizures went ignored by the hospital staff
The father of an 18-year-old has petitioned the chief minister's cell after his son died at the Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai since he could not pay a bribe of Rs.300 demanded by a hospital worker.
Worse, a woman employee took away Rs.80 -all that he had --to bring the body from the mortuary.
G Ganapathy of K Pudur in Madurai had taken his son Rajendra Prasad to the hospital, with breathing difficulty and convulsions, on May 2.
The man who was pushing the stretcher, took away the hospital admission slip when denied bribe, and the doctor delayed treatment in the absence of the slip.
State health secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan told Times of India on Saturday that he had ordered an inquiry into the incident.
