The doctors did not stitch the body before handing over to the family of the deceased. When the mistake was discovered the government hospital in Bhopal sent sweeper to stitch the cuts. The photo of the sweeper sewing the dead in the kitchen got viral and circulated in the media. With this sheer negligence, and the following protest, the hospital compelled to suspend three nurses.
It is almost a common practice in government hospitals in Madhya Pradesh to use sweepers as mortuary assistants. They open the cadaver, remove organs and stitch the body. Do you think this tradition must be changed and the government must recruit autopsy experts?
