The family of a boy, who allegedly suffered on account of medical negligence at the Civil Hospital, demonstrated outside the office of the medical superintendent here on Thursday.
Muhammad Ilyas, a resident of Girjakh, told the media that his son, Arsalan, had broken his left arm in an accident. He said he took his son to Dr Farrukh Bashir at the Civil Hospital. Dr Bashir asked him to bring plates and medicine worth Rs25,000 for the operation of his son that he provided. The doctor plastered the broken arm and discharged the boy.
He said later, the boy reported pain in his arm and when it was scanned, it transpired that there were no plates in the arm and the doctor had just bandaged it.
Promising an enquiry, the MS, Dr Anwer Aman, offered free treatment to the boy.
