People, who sustained injuries during Gandhi Maidan blasts on Sunday, are on slow recovery process at Patna Medical College and Hospital.
Businessman Rajesh Kumar Singh, a resident of Sasaram, who got injuries in his chest during the serial bomb blasts, was on Monday looking calm and composed on his bed at the hospital’s emergency wing.
“I am feeling much better now. When people rushed me here on Sunday, my condition was very serious. I was so restless and couldn’t even sleep the whole night but I am feeling well on Monday. could never imagine even in my wildest dream that somebody could plant a bomb at the site of the rally but one thing which I liked that even after hearing about the previous blasts, Narendra Modiji came to the venue to address us. He is a real leader,” said Singh.
Raviranjan Rai, a farmer from Siwan whose small intestine was injured on Sunday, said he had recovered quite a bit. “Sometimes I feel pain in stomach,” Rai mumbled.
Other patients also said they were slowly recovering. Mukesh Kumar Singh, a resident of Nauhatta in Rohtas district, said: “Doctors have removed splinters from my right cheek. I was in pain till the splinter was not removed. Though I am feeling better now but I am finding difficulty in chewing anything.”
Hospital officials said they had discharged around 64 of around 100 injured blast patients.
“At present, there are 24 patients in the emergency wing and 20 have been shifted to wards. The condition of only two patients — Ravi and Chandramani — is serious. They both are in the intensive care unit. We have referred Samar Alam (18), a resident of Masaurhi, to AIIMS New Delhi because his condition was critical. The hospital has left no stone unturned to treat the blast victims,” Bimal Karak, the hospital’s deputy superintendent.
However, some of the patients and their attendants blamed the hospital for not taking care of the patients. Shashi Kant Pandey, an attendant, said: “I have come here to see my fellow villager Uday Pandey. Since morning, I have found no doctors here.”
