The Untimely-Unnatural death of Dr.(Mrs) BHASWATI DEB, Lecturer Deptt. of Mathematics, G.C. College, Silchar, after giving birth to a baby at Valley Nursing Home, Silchar, touches the heart of all sections of people. Dr. Arun Debnath who is a Doctor in S.M.Dev, Civil Hospital, Silchar, due to some strange reason, better known by the Doctor himself, the treating doctor advised the patient to get admitted in Valley Nursing Home, Silchar, where the ill-fated lady died. Mrs. BHASWATI DEB was completely OK when she moved to OT. Mrs. BHASWATI DEB who died due to the negligence of the attending Doctor, Dr. Arun Debnath whose report says PROFUSE BLEEDING to be one of the causes of death. Now the question is why Doctor did not ask to keep BLOOD in advance, as it usually done in all operation cases. Dr. A.K.Laha, the attending anesthetist who is Doctor of Silchar Medical College, was not continuously present during operation and in the emergent time another substitute anesthetist had to attend the patient.
