MANDI BAHAUDDIN - The condition of a minor patient became critical after the use of the medicine “wrongly” prescribed by a doctor here on Thursday.

The one-year-old baby’s condition turned critical as she was administered the medicine. Imran Shah brought his sick daughter Ania to Children Hospital. The doctor on checking found that she was suffering from constipation. He prescribed medicine and asked him to get it from medical store. The father brought the medicine and showed it to the doctor before using. When the child took the medicine, she started blood vomiting and her condition turned precarious. On complaining, the doctors found that the store man had given wrong medicine for meant for external use only.

The DC took note of the situation and constituted an inquiry team consisting of the EDO Health and the Medical Superintendent to probe the matter.
