KG Hospital care: Wheelchair-bound Bangladeshi patient starts walking
A 36-year-old wheelchair-bound female patient from Bangladesh came to KG Hospital with severe hip pain about 20 days ago.
Ever since she underwent a hip surgery (Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation) in Bangladesh about one-and-half-years ago, she developed health complications. Her hip pain continued unabated.
She could walk only with crutches. She depended solely on the wheelchair for her mobility. Seeking relief, she went to a hospital in Bangladesh. After taking a CT scan, the doctors there suggested another hip surgery. But she was not ready for another surgery.
With the help of her relatives who had earliergot treatment in KG Hospital, the patient came to KG Hospital. When she reached KG Hospital, her pain became unbearable, making her to cry.
On the advice of KG Hospital Chairman Dr G.Bakthavathsalam, a panel of doctors consisting of Chief Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr A.Sakthivel, Chief Physician Dr T.Ramachandran, and Chief Executive Officer (Rehabilitation) Dr V.Mohan Gandhi was formed to examine the patient.
An X-ray showed nothing amiss with her hip. She was found to be a diabetic. After addressing her diabetic condition, she was placed under the “Structured Rehabilitation Programme” which included improving the muscle power, weight bearing capacity and gait training.
After one week of the rehabilitation measures with intensive physiotherapy started, she got rid of one of the crutches, and in another two days she gave up the second crutch also. On the ninth day she started walking on her own, without any support.
The patient, mother of two children, was too happy to get back her gait.The moment she started walking on her own the patient became too happy. The cry of pain transformed into cry of happiness.

KG Hospital observes World Patient Safety Day
KG Hospital observed World Patient Safety Day on September 17, 2019 to create awareness among all its departments about the significance of the event. Chairman Dr G.Bakthavathsalam presided over the function.
In his speech he said, “It needs 30 medical personnel to save one life. So, doctors, nurses, and technicians must do their work perfectly. They must treat all the patients as their relatives.”
Even a small mistake committed by a single member of the medical team would spoil the image of the hospital built over several decades. Hospitals function with patients’ support. Hence, they should be treated as gods.
Mistakes can occur in many forms:
• Wrong diagnosis
• Administration of wrong medicines
• Over dosage of medication
• Nosocomial Infections (Hospital acquired infections)
• Wrong procedures
On an average 26 lakh people die every year due to unsafe medical care across the world. Therefore, the theme of World Patient Safety Day is:
Patient safety: A global health priority.
Dr Bakthavathsalam has called upon the hospital staff to strictly adhere to the Vision, Mission and Quality Policy of KG Hospital to render quality healthcare services and ensure safety of patients.
Poster competition, Quiz and Role Play marked the occasion.
