50-Year-Old Patient Dies in Lift Accident at Rewa Hospital

A 50-year-old patient, Suresh Sen, died after getting trapped in a lift at a private hospital in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, on Saturday. The incident occurred when a hospital employee took Suresh, who was lying on a stretcher, inside the lift to take him to an upper floor. However, when the family members tried to enter the lift, the employee stopped them and asked them to use the stairs.

When the family reached the upper floor, they allegedly found Suresh trapped in the lift, with part of his body stuck inside. The family claimed that the hospital employee was no longer there and that another girl had also been trapped in the lift around 20 minutes before the incident. Despite this, the hospital management did not take proper safety steps, according to the family.

The incident led to an angry protest by the family outside the hospital, with relatives blaming the hospital management for the death. The family members staged a protest and demanded that the hospital be shut down. They also alleged that police misbehaved with them and dragged some of them on the ground.

According to Suresh's son, Himanshu Sen, his father had suffered serious injuries after falling from a tree a few days ago and was admitted to the private hospital on Saturday evening after breaking his shoulder bone. The family alleged that the hospital management was responsible for the death and that proper safety measures were not taken.

The incident has raised serious questions about the healthcare system in Rewa, which is the constituency of the state's Health Minister. Just three days ago, a mother and her newborn died at the district hospital, and now, a laborer named Suresh Sen has lost his life after getting trapped in the lift.

The police received information about the incident and shifted the body to Sanjay Gandhi Hospital. The family was asked to come to the police station to discuss their demands, but they did not.

The incident is a shocking reminder of the need for proper safety measures in hospitals and the importance of ensuring that patients receive proper care and attention. The family's protest and demands for the hospital to be shut down highlight the need for accountability and transparency in the healthcare system.

The incident is being investigated, and the police are looking into the matter. The hospital management has not commented on the incident yet.

In conclusion, the death of Suresh Sen is a tragic incident that highlights the need for proper safety measures in hospitals and the importance of ensuring that patients receive proper care and attention. The incident has raised serious questions about the healthcare system in Rewa and the need for accountability and transparency.
