Family Alleges Medical Negligence After Teen’s Surgery
A 14-year-old boy named Tarak went to a private hospital in Suryapet for surgery on lumps in his throat.
His family says the doctors advised the operation after medical tests.
They say they paid about Rs 80,000 for his treatment.
During the surgery, the family alleges that doctors and staff left briefly because the oxygen supply had run out.
Afterward, the boy’s condition became much worse.
Another hospital reportedly told the family that he had severe brain damage.
The family says they were told that about 80 per cent of his brain was affected.
His relatives protested outside the hospital and asked for a full investigation.
The report does not provide the hospital’s response or establish whether medical negligence occurred.
