Patna, November 16: Sunita Devi, the 38-year-old woman whose both kidneys were removed illegally at a private hospital, has demanded that she be given the organs of the doctor who operated on her. Sunita, who is on daily dialysis for survival, was at the hospital for hysterectomy surgery in September when the doctors removed her kidneys without her approval.
Sunita is currently undergoing treatment at the state government’s Sri Krishna Medical College and Hospital (SKMCH) in Muzaffarpur, according to a report published in the Times of India. Sunita, while interacting with local media, appealed to the state government to immediately arrest the accused doctor, who is on the run, for illegal kidney removal.
