Bengaluru: The parents of a 14-month-old child have accused Cloudnine Hospital in Nagarabhavi, Bengaluru, of medical negligence after the child reportedly fell into a coma while undergoing treatment for an ear injury.
According to the parents, the child, identified as Shayan, sustained an injury to the left ear after the edge of a wardrobe struck it. The family took the child to the hospital for treatment and stitches after noticing bleeding.
The parents have alleged that the child was administered an excessive dose of anaesthesia, resulting in the coma. They have also questioned whether the anaesthesia was given under the supervision of a specialist. These allegations have not been independently established.
