A electric short-circuit in the air-conditioner kept in the intensive care unit (ICU) due to its poor maintenance by workers in the Hospital has cost the lives of two unfortunate patients. The malfunctioning caused dense smoke due to the fire which broke out and the patients seems to have died of aphyxiation. A doctor from the Hosptial, taking a defensive stance, suspects the patients could have died for their own health reasons since the those who were killed (5 other patients were safely rescued)were removed from "ACCIDENT" (word used by media) scene by the fire service department at the earliest, neverthless, they had died unlike other 5 patients who dint.
Besides, the reasoning of the doctor being usual and stupid, what I find funny in this scenario is that such an "INCIDENT" ' has been let to happen' in Intensive Care Unit where it is supposed extra care and precaution is taken to give to provide additional safety to patient.
I am not just shocked but wrenched. My sympathies for the bereaved and am I am afraid to even think the distress the patients might be facing in general ward since now that its proved time and again how safe the most-safest-to-be place for patients in a hospital is?
Who to be blamed?
