Shuvra, a Bangladesh national was hired as a specialist gynecologist in January this year together with her husband who has been engaged by the Hospital as a consultant pediatrician. An assessment report authored by Shuvra's supervisor suggests that Shuvra seems clueless about what she is supposed to do, and that whenever she touches an implement could mean a death sentence for a patient. So dangerously out of cue is this doctor that the very first caesarean section she carried out resulted in the death of the baby, says the report. The mother also lost her womb after Shuvra reportedly mutilated it.
"I and other team members have oriented her about the duties for two weeks after which she was [placed] on call with another first on call doctor on 11/02/2010. The caesarean section she did was a disaster with death of the baby, multiple uterine tears, which led to DIC and sub-total hysterectomy was done [by another doctor]." The Monitor is in possession of the names of the team that was with Shuvra on that fateful day.
