GANDHINAGAR, SEPT 22

The Gujarat government on Tuesday defended “restraining” of a COVID-19 patient suffering from “delirium” by staff members of Rajkot civil hospital.

Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel told the Legislative Assembly that a “false impression was created that the patient was thrashed, which is not true”.

“The 38-year-patient was suffering from a mental disorder called delirium and may have injured himself or other patients if he was not restrained,” he said.

The issue was raised in the House by senior Congress MLA Punja Vansh.

The Congress leader was referring to a recent video showing nursing staff and security personnel of the hospital purportedly beating a coronavirus patient.

Hospital authorities had earlier claimed the patient was “mentally disturbed” and was being restrained, and not thrashed, to avoid inflicting injuries to himself or on others.

The clip shows nursing staff in PPE kits struggling to overpower the patient who was lying on the floor inside the hospital.

While one person wearing a PPE kit sits on the patient, another can be seen slapping him and asking him to stay calm. A security man can be seen using force to control the patient.

Patel, who handles the Health portfolio, said the patient was also suffering from kidney-related ailments.

“He was admitted to the civil hospital on September 8. On the morning of the next day (September 9), the patient suddenly tried to attack nurses and another patient sleeping on an adjoining bed. He was uttering meaningless words and also roaming in the ward after removing his clothes,” said Patel.

“To stop him, nursing staff, doctors and security personnel tried hard to restrain him. The patient fell during the pandemonium. But, a false impression was created that he was thrashed, which was not true,” he said.

The deputy CM further said that psychiatrists checked the patient and diagnosed him with “delirium”.
