In a disturbing incident from Bihar, a government hospital turned into a place of desperation rather than care, when a security guard was seen stitching a patient’s wounds inside an operation theatre.
The viral video from Bagaha shows a man in a guard’s uniform performing medical stitches work strictly meant for trained professionals.
Caught On Camera: Guard Inside Operation Theatre
The footage, widely circulated on social media, captures the minor operation theatre of the sub-divisional hospital where, instead of doctors or nurses, a security guard is seen treating an injured patient.
As per medical norms, access to operation theatres is restricted to qualified doctors and nursing staff. The incident has raised serious questions about protocol violations and the risks patients face in such situations.
Accident Victims Left With No Choice
The patients were brought to the hospital following a severe road accident involving a tempo and a pickup van. The collision left several injured after the pickup overturned, while the tempo driver reportedly fled the scene.
Locals rushed the injured to the hospital in hopes of immediate treatment but what followed has shocked many.
‘Guard Stitched Our Wounds,’ Say Victims
According to report published in NDTV, injured victims, including Wasim Akhtar and Surendra Pasi, alleged that a security guard stitched their wounds due to a shortage of medical staff.
They claimed that doctors were present but overwhelmed, leading to the guard stepping in. Calling it “gross negligence,” the victims said being treated by an untrained person could have cost them their lives.
