The death of a dentist associated with JJ hospital last month due to dengue was not enough of a lesson for the authorities apparently, even as four doctors of St George’s hospital got diagnosed with the disease recently. Not surprisingly, the BMC and hospital authorities are least bothered. While the medical superintendent maintains that the doctors got infected outside the campus, the civic body official concerned could not even be reached. Throughout this monsoon, seven doctors associated with this hospital, including these four, were diagnosed with dengue in the end of last month. Though the hospital and BMC authorities claim that they are regular in supervising the areas to curb dengue breeding grounds, the doctors have alleged that the measures are inadequate.
