Relatives have alleged that a 17-year-old boy died because proper treatment was not provided at the Kalaignar Centenary Super Specialty Hospital in Guindy.
Ayyanarappan, a resident of Velachery in Chennai, works in electrical services. On the 16th, while Ayyanarappan was traveling on a two-wheeler with his 17-year-old son Darshan, they were hit by a city electric bus near the Kathipara flyover in Guindy and were involved in an accident.
People nearby rescued them and sent them to the Guindy Super Specialty Hospital. After treatment, Ayyanarappan recovered, and last Friday Darshan underwent bone reconstruction surgery.
After that, his condition worsened and Darshan died. Doctors said the cause was a severe lung infection. However, his parents and relatives refused to accept this and accused the hospital’s negligence of causing his death. They also released a video recording in this regard.
Meanwhile, the hospital administration, in its explanation on the matter, said that the boy did not die because of the surgery, and that his extremely poor health condition was the reason for his death.
