Patient alive but docs declared her dead, allege kin

LUCKNOW: Family members of a 53-year-old woman patient alleged that the doctors of Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences declared her as ‘expired’ while she was found alive as they reached home. The institute denied the charges. “A discharge slip was issued, not a death certificate. Someone has mentioned the word expired after cutting the printed words – date of discharge, and also written death in place of discharge on top,” said Dr Srikesh Singh, spokesperson of the institute.
