Medical negligence claims former footballer's life

Sheer medical negligence from hospital authorities claimed the life of former Karnataka state footballer Menous Subramani (44).

Subramani was on the way to his office at Indian Telephone Industries (ITI) complex when he complained about breathlessness. He went to a nearby hospital to seek medical attention and waited for 45 minutes to get a first aid treatment.

However, realizing that his blood pressure has dropped, the hospital authorities advised him to visit a hospital, which is equipped with better medical facilities. To add to the woes, he could not avail the hospital ambulance as it was under repair. Subramani's condition deteriorated due to the delay in treatment. While reaching the other hospital, Subramani felt unconscious, and died before the doctors could conduct an ECG test.

Subramani had represented Karnataka at the junior level, he was associated with training, and other football activities in the city. He was working with ITI for the last two decades.
