Hyderabad, May 20: In a heart-wrenching incident, a newborn baby boy died a day after delivery at a government hospital after nurses performed surgery after taking instructions from a doctor on the phone in Wardhannapet in Telangana's Warangal. Kasireddy Srija, hailing from Gundepudi, Maripeda Mandal in Mahbubabad district, was admitted with severe labour pains last Friday evening. Dr Manasa Reddy, the duty doctor, reportedly left the hospital without examining Srija and instructing the nurses to monitor her condition.
According to the Deccan Chronicle report, as Srija's labour pains intensified, Nurse Sunitha and Auxiliary Nurse Midwife (ANM) Subhadra contacted Dr Reddy, who directed them to proceed with normal delivery and provided guidance over the phone. Despite Srija's husband, Naresh, pleas for a C-section, the nurses proceeded with normal delivery. Telangana: Rats Bite Patient in ICU at Government Hospital in Kamareddy District.
