On Sunday, Geetanjali J. Angmo, the wife of Sonam Wangchuk, filed a petition in the High Court requesting permission to transfer her husband to a private hospital of their choice. She accused Safdarjung Hospital of providing misleading medical information regarding Wangchuk's health. Angmo raised questions about the hospital's assessment and emphasized the family's desire for a swift hearing before Wangchuk's condition worsens.
Concerns Over Medical Information
In a post on X, Angmo expressed her loss of trust in Safdarjung Hospital. She claimed that the hospital informed the family that Wangchuk's potassium level had dropped to 2.9, which was described as alarming and life-threatening. However, she asserted that the hospital's public health bulletin failed to mention the actual figures, only noting the decrease in potassium levels.
Discharge Denied Amid Police Presence
Angmo further alleged that despite repeated requests, the hospital refused to discharge Wangchuk or allow the family to transfer him to a private facility. She noted that the presence of police officers around the hospital restricted the family's movement. Angmo stated, "Despite our continuous requests, the hospital has denied us the ability to discharge him or transfer him to a private hospital of our choice. There are about 30 police officers on our floor and over 100 throughout the hospital, severely limiting our mobility. This is not medical care; it is illegal detention."
