Botched surgery causes nerve damage in hand

Bihar youth’s dreams of joining the Indian Army lay shattered after he lost sensation in his left hand owing to “medical negligence” following a surgery performed by a city doctor, his family claimed yesterday.

Muzaffarpur resident Rajan Sharma, 20, arrived in Kolkata in January for a surgery following a broken elbow bone.

Sharma has undergone three procedures since then.

“I have been asked to undergo physiotherapy and come back for a fourth surgery, if required,” said Sharma. (IANS)
