Jaipur: Twenty-five-year-old Sattar Khan cannot move as he had suffered injury in his spine. Three days ago, Khan was brought to the Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics (ITO) from Hanumangarh, but his injury was not properly diagnosed.
“The doctor has advised for MRI. Since the facility is not available here, they are taking him to SMS Hospital for conducting MRI,” said a relative of Khan while waiting for the ambulance for his transportation.
Patients, who need MRI tests for diagnosis, are shifted from the biggest government-run institute of the state to SMS Hospital. The ITO has its own imaging centre, run by a private unit, but it has facility of CT scan, and the facility of MRI is not available.
Patients suffering from major traumatic injuries such as road accidents, falls, vehicle collisions, or gunshot wounds are rushed to ITO for treatment. The MRI tests play key role in accurate diagnosis in some of these traumatic injuries. Besides Khan, two other patients laying on stretchers were waiting for ambulances for shifting to SMS Hospital for MRI test on Sunday.
All the patients had suffered severe injuries, taking them out of the hospital-from bed to stretcher, from stretcher to ambulance and from ambulance to MRI centre at SMS Hospital and back to the bed at ITO is a painful journey for the patients, attendants, and for hospital staff and the resources.
“He (Sanjay Yadav) has injured his backbone. He met with an accident while riding a bike. The doctor has advised MRI, but no MRI facility is available here, the hospital staff is taking him to the hospital,” said his attendant. A patient’s relative Gyan Singh, a resident of Karauli, said, “My patient had suffered injuries. He was taken to SMS Hospital for MRI. All facilities are available here, we are happy, but MRI should be done here also.”
