Hindustan TimesMumbai: An internal inquiry by authorities at Sion’s Lokmanya Tilak municipal general hospital and medical college has revealed that the second-year resident doctor who died on February 29 had taken an antibiotic injection via a saline drip that possibly led to allergic reaction and death. HT Image Dr Mohan Joshi, the hospital’s dean, said when the resident doctor’s room partner returned to their room at around 11pm on Thursday, he found the former lying dead, following which his body was sent for postmortem and an internal inquiry was instituted. Dr Vardhaman Rote, president, MARD at Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation-run hospitals, which has 2,700 members, said they are speaking to resident doctors at all four civic hospitals and medical colleges. While we are speaking to resident doctors of all the four medical colleges and urging them to seek medical help if they are unwell, we request the Sion Hospital management to conduct another inquiry into his death.
