The condition of 24-year-old intern doctor Kartik Chaudhary, who recently fell from the fourth floor of the Government Doon Medical College (GDMC) hostel building, is stable, the medical superintendent of the GDMC hospital Dr RS Bisht said. On Monday, Kashipur native Chaudhary fell from the fourth floor of the hostel building. Immediately after the incident, hostel staff took him to GDMC hospital for treatment.
Informing about the current condition, Bisht said that the incident is indeed a matter of concern. According to his friends, Chaudhary was on a phone call when he suddenly lost his balance and fell. Upon arrival at the hospital, he was admitted to the ICU where various tests, including MRI and ultrasound were performed. Currently, Chaudhary’s condition is stable, but following protocol, he will remain in the ICU for 48 hours. He has sustained multiple fractures, and doctors will decide in a few days whether any surgeries will be necessary. Bisht is personally overseeing Chaudhary’s treatment at the hospital, he said.
This incident not only raises concerns about the intern doctor’s health but also prompts questions about the safety measures in place at the GDMC hostel.
Notably, according to sources, it was reported that just after this incident, the principal of GDMC Dr Geeta Jain stated that the exact cause of the incident is still unclear. Given the seriousness of the situation, the medical college administration has formed an investigation committee that will submit a report regarding the incident.
