Theft inside govt. hospital
About a month ago, I was staying at a male ward in Mymensingh Medical College Hospital to look after my sick father. It was nearly 4 in the morning and almost all patients and their relatives were sleeping. Suddenly, I woke up hearing the scream of a woman. We thought she probably found her son dead. Her son was suffering from serious lung cancer. But to my utter surprise, I came to know that all her money went missing, which was her last savings for her son's treatment. I learned that this happens quite often here. Majority of the people who come to public hospitals for treatment are poor people. But the thieves do not spare them. Some hospital staff are allegedly involved in this. The hospital authorities should identify those people and punish them. They should take proper steps so that this type of theft never occurs in the hospital.
