The video is from Diwali day. In the video, a young man is seen lying on a bed in the hospital. He says the lab technician is on leave on Diwali. They don’t know how to operate the machine? After this the first video is completed. In the second video, the patient’s family says that brother, you are saying that you have never done ECG. So why are you playing with the patient’s life? The family members repeatedly say that brother, call someone, ECG is directly related to the heart. What if something happens?
On this the helper says that I am not a lab technician, he has gone home on Diwali leave. I don’t have to do anything. Everything has been placed in the right place, whatever work will be done, the machine will do it. Medical College Principal BS Jodha said that the video had surfaced on Friday. The matter will be investigated. Further action will be taken after the truth of the matter comes to light. He told that finding wrong ECG points has no effect on the body. If the point is not placed at the right place then the report does not come out correctly. In such a situation, proper treatment is not possible.
