This is not first time such incidents of medical negligence has came into light. Last week in Jhansi, government medical college doctors allegedly used the amputated leg of a patient, who was seriously injured, as a pillow. The man has lost his one leg and around half of the students got injured when a bus turned turtle in Lechura area.

The bus was returning from Lehchura and when it reached village Bamouri, herds of animals suddenly came in front of it. In order to save them, the driver of the bus lost the control and the bus overturned on the roadside.

These incidents reveal poor health care services in our country and how much responsible the doctors are
