DHANGADHI, April 11: Shalibhan Jethara, 80, who was admitted at the emergency room of Seti Zonal Hospital on Wednesday due to complications arising from high blood pressure felt even worst after receiving treatment. The reason was, nurses had injected his lean, skinny arm many times to find veins. His blood needed to be taken out, and the nurses did not find veins after multiple attempts. Later, he learned that the girls who were attending him were not certified, nurses but interns. “That is why they injected syringe for so many times. It hurt me so badly,” said the old man.
