सड़क दुर्घटना में घायल एक व्यक्ति जिला अस्पताल की फर्श पर तड़प रहा है। आस-पास बिखरा उसका खून कुत्ता चाट रहा। लेकिन उसकी सुध लेने वाला कोई नहीं। न डॉक्टर, न कम्पाउण्डर।

The Chief medical superintendent Satendra Kumar Verma said on Thursday that two sweepers and two ward boys were suspended over the incident and claimed that actions had been initiated on the incident.
He said that the patient was brought to the hospital by the government's ambulance service, injured severely on his head. When three or four more patients arrived at the same time, doctors and pharmacists got busy, and it was then the dog entered the ward.
The patient featured in the video was identified as Bittu, a resident of a village in Kushinagar's Jatah Bazaar police station limits. He met with a road accident and was brought to the hospital unconscious.
The Congress tweeted the video and said it had exposed the state of affairs "beyond advertisements". "A person injured in a road accident is lying on the floor of the district hospital. The dog was licking his blood scattered all around. But there is no one to take care of him. No doctor, no compounder. Beyond advertisements worth crores, this is the truth of the government systems of UP under the rule of Yogi Adityanath," the party wrote on Twitter.
