Seeking accountability for the institutional negligence that devastated the life of 36-year-old Vivek Tirpude at Sardar Patel Multispeciality Hospital, Balaghat.
Vivek Tirpude walked into Sardar Patel Multispeciality Hospital for a minor, elective hand fracture surgery. Following complications involving the anesthesia administered by Dr. Srishti Jain and the absence of an immediate emergency resuscitation team, Vivek suffered a severe hypoxic brain injury.
Immediate, critical life-saving protocols were severely delayed. Vivek is currently battling for his life on ventilator support, requiring intensive neuro-rehabilitation.
Vivek remains on ventilator support and requires intensive, prolonged neuro-rehabilitation.
This was not an isolated medical error. An official investigation by the Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) confirmed critical operational deficiencies at Sardar Patel Hospital.
The CMHO report confirmed the hospital was operating an ICU without a qualified intensivist on staff — a fundamental patient safety requirement.
The hospital lacked a mandatory 'Code Blue' emergency response plan, meaning there was no structured protocol for life-threatening emergencies.
These deficiencies, confirmed by government investigators, directly contributed to the delayed response that caused Vivek's irreversible brain injury.

Following the incident, significant discrepancies were discovered in Vivek's official medical documentation. Referral documents appear to have been deliberately altered to erase the names of the primary surgeons.
The submitted OT (Operation Theatre) notes differ fundamentally from the original records. Digital metadata forensically highlights the discrepancies between what actually occurred and what the hospital submitted to police.
Following our official complaints, the local police registered FIR No. 0260. However, the investigation has faced severe delays.
We are advocating for a transparent inquiry that holds the principal decision-makers accountable, rather than allowing the administration to place blame solely on lower-level salaried staff.
