The more our motherland supposedly improves, the worse it gets for it's long suffering and utterly neglected womenfolk, if Supreme Court judges groping interns right, left and centre was not enough, a woman being forced to deliver her baby in a government hospital's compound certainly takes the cake if not the entire bakery.........
In yet another galling and utterly regrettable case of medical negligence and criminal callousness a "fully" pregnant woman was forced to deliver her child or prince/princess charming in a snow laden compound of a government hospital located in the vicinity of Srinagar.......
The deplorable and contemptible incident occurred at Kukroosa village in Kupwara (near Srinagar) on Friday morning as the staff deputed to this government medical facility failed to make an appearance at the appointed time........
According to the afflicted woman's family members, they reached the hospital in question around 11:30 am or so but were shocked and appalled to find the doors of the hospital firmly shut on them.......
"In the absence of any medical help or care my long suffering wife was forced to deliver the baby in the hospital compound and only attended to after 1 pm when the doctor and other staff manning this government medical facility deigned to make an appearance", remarked the husband of the woman who delivered her child in the compound.....
"Thanks to the blessings of almighty Allah, the womenfolk in the family were well acquainted with delivery procedures and took matters into their own capable hands and successfully brought the little bundle of joy into this world, otherwise one shudders to even think about what might have happened", opined yet another male family member.........
Offering a rather lame and hackneyed defence, the doctor and his cohorts resorted to the time tested excuse of there being a crackdown in the vicinity of the hospital and adjoining areas by the local police and other allied security forces, but their lie soon came back to bite them on their ample backsides and haunt them when the senior police officer of the said area stoutly denied any knowledge whatsoever about an alleged clampdown being affected in the area in question by the much maligned security forces........
One wonders whether the beleaguered chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah will crack the whip with a resounding crack once and for all and dismiss the accused doctor and his cohorts forthwith or then as has become the norm, will the doctor and his accomplices in this unpardonable crime against mankind be allowed to get away scot free citing an acute shortage of qualified medical staff as has been done in the past in most if not all such cases.........
Well, I for one am waiting with bated breath Mr. Abdullah..........
