LUCKNOW: King George's Medical University student, Kamal Kumar Rawat, who was admitted to trauma centre on Tuesday after suffering serious injuries in an accident, was shifted to Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS) on Wednesday. Doctors at SGPGI revealed that Rawat was in a critical condition. Rawat's condition deteriorated late at night and he needed artificial respiration, a facility not available at trauma centre.
A Mahlihabad resident, Rawat met with an accident while on his way to Lucknow from Sitapur. He suffered serious head injuries and multiple limb fractures.
Significantly, another MBBS student Deepak Agarwal, died due to fatal injuries suffered after he fell into an elevator well on January 11, 2006. He had to be taken to a private nursing home as trauma centre did not have ventilators needed. Though the state level committee looking into the matter suggested making alternate arrangements for ventilation of patients, no concrete steps have been taken so far.
