LAHORE: In a bizarre incident, a security guard impersonating a surgeon operated on a woman in the country’s largest and oldest medical facility Mayo Hospital.
Reports in the local news stated that a security guard, who is identified as Waheed Butt, trapped the 80-year-old woman, Shamim Bibi, with the help of an on-duty hospital employee who works at the operation theater.
MS Mayo Hospital Dr. Iftikhar while speaking with a private news channel told that the patient was brought to the surgical emergency room for treatment of abscess on May 17.
Looking for easy money, the security guard then convinced the patient’s family members for quick surgery and botched the wound with the wrong procedure. It is also learned that the Butt along with the OT technician also kept bandaging the patient at home for a couple of days.
The botched procedure then made the patient suffered from excessive bleeding which then rushed to the hospital again for medical assistance. The condition of the old lady is said to be critical as she is undergoing treatment.
Following the whole episode of phony medical practice, the administration of Mayo hospital handed over Waheed Butt to the local police, while his accomplice, Usman Butt, the OT technician, was also suspended.
The hospital also formed an inquiry committee headed by Professor Dilawaiz Nadeem to investigate the matter. Punjab Health Minister and PTI leader Dr. Yasmin Rashid also took the notice of the happening and directed the Punjab healthcare secretary to investigate the issue and submit the report at the earliest.
