“When the complete biopsy report came, we found that my mother was not suffering from cancer. When we queried about the negligence, they dismissed it,” said Vikas Pandey, the patient's son. “They (authorities) said the biopsy report might have some mistakes. We went for a recheck and found that there was no trace of cancer. We have come from Bihar and this negligence has distressed our family,” Pandey told IANS.
Hospital authorities said that the allegation of medical negligence was baseless. “It's not true that she was not suffering from cancer. We have discussed the matter in our meeting and have checked the records,” said D K Sharma, Medical Superintendent, AIIMS. “There is more than one diagnosis to confirm a disease,” he added.
A few months back, a senior citizen had died at AIIMS after he underwent a heart surgery.
