Warangal: PG medico found unconscious at MGM hospital; parents allege suicide attempt

MGM Superintendent said the second year student had chided her recently when she had asked house surgeons to write the case sheets of her patients

Warangal: A first year student of MD (Anaesthesia) of the Kakatiya Medical College (KMC) was found unconscious in a room near the operation theatre in the emergency ward of the MGM hospital around 6.30 am on Wednesday.

Fellow junior doctors and staff, who saw her, shifted her to the RICU where CPR was administered as doctors suspected that a cardiac arrest could have led to her condition. She was later shifted to NIMS, Hyderabad. Meanwhile, with her parents alleging that she had tried to die by suicide due to harassment by a senior second year student of the same course, the police have registered a case under the SC/ST Act against the senior student and investigation is on.

Earlier in the day, a team led by Warangal ACP Bonala Kishan visited the hospital and seized some material belonging to the victim.

MGM Superintendent Dr V Chandrashekhar and KMC Principal Dr D Mohan Das said the second year student had chided her recently when she had asked house surgeons to write the case sheets of her patients.

“Following this, Head of the Department of Anaesthesia, Dr K Nagarjuna Reddy summoned both the victim and her senior. After enquring the matter, the Head asked both of them to meet the principal and give an explanation. However, the senior student met the principal, while the victim did not turn up,” they said, adding that the shifts of both the victim and the senior had also been changed since then. It is said she had been taking medicine for thyroid and some arthritis issues.

Warangal ACP Bonala Kishan has reportedly asked the KMC management to seize the hostel room of the victim as they would search the room as a part of the investigation.
