Doctor's 'negligence'
I am extremely distressed to learn about the shocking incident that occurred at the NHN Saleha Memorial (Diabetic) Centre, Gulshan 2 through your newspaper report entitled "Doctor's negligence costs Shamsher Mahmud's life" printed on 23/12/05. The report stressed that the doctor who treated the patient during his illness displayed "laxness and indifference." Reading about the accusation of negligence pointed at the doctor saddened me very much.
I happen to know the doctor fairly closely, and have always been impressed with his professionalism and efficiency as a physician.
However, I feel extremely sad for the untimely death of the patient.
