Dear Agnelo, Could you please provide some more details to this story? i.e. Which ward, What were the interns doing before and after they washed their hands and When?
Dear Miguel, Could you please confirm that patients were actually shunted out? It is being suggested that the Herald report distorted the actual happenings. Is there any (taped) evidence to back up the reporters claims of what the Pediatrician is reported to have said? What exactly were here words? Does the reporter personally know the doctor concerned? Was she on staff at Chicalim / and on duty at the time of the incident? Or was she just being a Good Samaritan? May I also ask WHY the Herald has NOT published the name of the reporter who has made serious charges (perhaps justified / perhaps not) against a number of doctors? grateful jc awaiting Hurricane Hanna and the storms which are closely following Hanna. == Agnelo Fernandes wrote: " The Interns get pieces of local daily newspapers to wipe their hands after attending to patients and washing their hands. I know this first hand.." Miguel Braganza wrote about the Chicalim incident: "some doctors at the cottage hospital in Chicalim ... were getting ready to celebrate Ganesha Chaturthi in a hospital ward ...after pushing the inmates into the passage outside."
