Hyderabad: A techie from Hyderabad, who had felt that he was short in height, underwent a surgery for increasing his height at a private hospital. According to the parents of Nikhil Reddy (22), a resident of Petbasheerabad who is working with an IT firm in Hyderabad had gone missing for past three days. They lodged a complaint with the police.
During investigation, the police traced Nikhil’s mobile location to Global Hospitals in Lakdikapul on Tuesday. The police along with Nikhil’s family members visited the hospital with a suspicion that he might have met with an accident. On enquiry, it was found that Nikhil had undergone a surgery to increase his height from 5.7 to 5.10 feet. For some days, Nikhil has been consulting a doctor to increase his height and accordingly, he got admitted in the hospital on Monday and paid Rs 2 lakh.
The doctors at the hospital performed the surgery, after taking a self-authorisation letter from Nikhil that he is aware of the consequences and hospital holds no responsibility for any untoward incident. Tensed moments were created at the hospital as the family members and relatives of Nikhil staged a protest alleging that the hospital management had forcefully done the surgery and expressed suspicion that it might cause severe problems for him in future.
Meanwhile, Global Hospitals CEO Dr Shibaji Chattopadhyaya, said, "The surgery that Nikhil Reddy had undergone at Global Hospitals Lakdikapul does not fall under the clinical guidelines of medico legal cases and hence, the hospital has not informed the police.”
He denied the allegations that Nikhil was forced to undergo the surgery and said “The patient has been fully explained about the risk, cost of treatment and due consent was taken from the patient and treatment given.” Nikhil has submitted the date of birth as January 23, 1994, during admission time and the hospital in no way legally bound to check the credentials and background of the patient unless anything suspicious is noted.
“He comes from a decent background and we did not find anything suspicious during his interaction. The patient is a major and employed and consulted the doctor for surgery. We do not want to comment, why he did not inform his parents about the surgery,” said CEO Chattopadhyaya.
