IMPHAL, November 17: A 55 year old woman has this evening leveled charge against the doctors of the Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences, JNIMS of negligence, cheating and wrongly operating upon her.

She has further charged that she was admitted to the hospital on October 3 with back pains. The doctor examining her advised to get an ultrasound at the earliest. She took the ultrasound from Adarsh Laboratory on October 5.
The doctor after examining the report of the ultrasound informed her that she would have to undergo an operation to remove a Kidney stone and a gallbladder stone and the said operation was conducted on October 11, she informed.
However, soon after regaining her consciousness, the doctor concerned informed her that there was no kidney stone and that she doesn’t have gallbladder.
Surprised and at the same time astonished with the information she along with her family and local elders met the Medical Superintendent of the hospital and informed him of the happenings.
