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.
