Overview

In a shocking case of alleged medical negligence in Pandharpur, Maharashtra, a doctor at a sub-district hospital reportedly removed a finger from the left hand instead of the right hand of a six-year-old boy. The incident has prompted the state health department to set up an inquiry committee to investigate the error.

The child, suffering from bilateral postaxial polydactyly—a condition in which both hands have extra little fingers—was admitted on Friday, March 27, due to stiffness, pain, and difficulty in gripping and moving one of the fingers on his right hand. Doctors had advised surgery on the affected finger of the right hand.
