KEM PG doc on duty at TB Hospital found dead; police suspect suicide | Mumbai News – Times of India



MUMBAI: A 27-year-old doctor doing his post-graduation at KEM Hospital in Parel allegedly committed suicide by injecting himself with an anaesthetic drug during duty hours at the Group of TB Hospitals in Sewri on Monday.

The doctor, Adhinath Patil, hailed from Jalgaon district and is survived by his parents and a younger brother, who is doing his internship at KEM.
The police said Patil, who was in his first year of post-graduation in general medicine, had been assigned duty at TB Hospital. Due to renovation work at KEM Hospital, four medicine wards have been temporarily moved to the second floor of TB Hospital. Doctors from the KEM medicine department are sent to TB Hospital to treat patients in these wards.

Patil reported to TB Hospital at 8.30pm and was scheduled to be on duty till 8am on Monday. Sources said that he had dinner with a fellow doctor and even conducted an echocardiogram on a patient. He later went to the doctors’ room. On Monday morning, a nurse found him unconscious in the room, his body having turned bluish. Patil was taken to KEM Hospital, where doctors attempted to intubate him, but he was pronounced dead after some time.
Dean Dr Sangeeta Ravat said Patil was a bright and highly diligent student, known for his sincerity. “He had finished his MBBS from KEM and had got a PG seat after scoring high in NEET,” she said, adding that he was soon going to start his second year. The dean said Patil was also set to make a presentation on his thesis subject in front of a board on Monday.
After the incident, the hospital spoke to his batchmates and close friends, who revealed that he might have been experiencing “mental distress”. His father, a physician, runs Ekveera Hospital in Jalgaon and had visited him in December. During this visit his father had counselled him, said the dean. Dr Ravat said it would have been beneficial if the teachers or his peers had been informed about his situation.
The police found two syringes and vials of an anaesthetic drug that works as a muscle relaxant. They recorded statements of few of Patil’s close colleagues, who said that he was likely under pressure over his studies.
