In a shocking incident that comes out of the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM)-run Nair Hospital, cardiothoracic surgeons have written a letter to the Hospital Dean to shut down the cardiac surgery department after repeated requests for new equipment – that started in 2016 – have fallen on deaf ears. “Dr Nagle’s letter says the operating tables in his department are so old that they are now manually operated as their remote control functions are beyond repair. Nair Hospital’s CVTS department performs around 1000 operations annually, including close to 700 open heart surgeries. The powerful magnetic force of the MRI machine attracted the heavy cylinder thus sucking in Maru with it, killing him. Maru was accompanying an ailing relative who was to undergo MRI scanning.
