A 70-year-old paralysed man on ventilator in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a government hospital here was allegedly attacked by rats who nibbled on his ears, nose, lips and cheeks while hospital staff slept, hospital sources said.
The authorities at the government hospital have launched an investigation into the incident. The man, whose identity was withheld, was unable to move due to paralysis when the incident took place early Tuesday at the Mathura Das Mathur Hospital.
'The hospital staff - from doctors to security guards - go to sleep before 11 p.m., leaving the patients on their own,' a doctor in the hospital told IANS on condition of anonymity.
He said the man was found seriously injured Tuesday morning by his family members. Full story...
