1 dead, 25 critical after same syringe used at hospital

One person died while 25 others are critical after a nurse allegedly used the same syringe on all the patients at a hospital in Madhya Pradesh, reports NDTV.

"The hospital did not have the right medicines. They did not even check the patient before giving the injections. A man died within 10 minutes after he was given the injection," a relative of a patient was quoted as telling news agency ANI.

Civil Surgeon Dr PK Sharma pinned the blame on the nurses and said they were using same syringe for multiple patients. A probe has been launched into the unfortunate incident of medical negligence.
