Kumodchandra Hemade fighting a long battle for his grandson (inset) who he named Heramb
On August 4, 2008 directed the state MMC to investigate and take necessary action against Dr Thakur and the administrator within six months under clause 8.4 of the Indian Medical Council within six months.
According to Hemade’s plaint, the child was born on March 16, 2008 at Ratna hospital. As the baby was premature, he had aspiration pneumonia and his blood oxygen never normalised. The child was shifted to KEM hospital on March 17 as it had better equipment.
He also added that the doctor hurriedly called a press conference on April 2 and also mentioned that parents of the child would attend the press meet. Hemade, in his plaint, wanted to know the need of a press conference. He also said that the interview and video shooting of the baby, post operation, was telecast on television for publicity. Though the child had an infection, the administrator and doctor were busy with a press meet instead of tending to him.
