Absolutely gut-wrenching news from Satna, Madhya Pradesh.
A mother alleges that during a surgery for kidney stones, doctors (named as Dr. Pushpendra Singh & Dr. Pathak) removed both of her child's kidneys.
The family claims the doctors called it a "mistake," but this is a life-altering catastrophe.
How does a stone removal turn into a double nephrectomy?
This is beyond negligenceโฆ it is a horror.
We demand an immediate, high-level probe into this medical facility and the surgeons involved.
Justice for the child and his mother is non-negotiable.
