A patient at state-run R G Kar Medical College and Hospital died on Monday after his family alleged he was forced to walk to a toilet despite his critical condition. Biswajit Samanta, a resident of Nimta, was brought to the hospital’s trauma care unit early Monday with breathing difficulties and nose bleeding, his family said. While doctors provided initial treatment and asked them to wait for further admission procedures, Samanta needed to use the toilet. ADVERTISEMENTRelatives said they were directed to a pay-and-use toilet located outside the trauma care facility. “A high-risk patient should not have been allowed to leave the trauma care centre to search for toilet facilities.
