LAHORE: In a shocking incident, a security guard masquerading as a doctor operated on a woman at Lahore’s Mayo Hospital, ARY News reported on Saturday.
According to details, a security guard, who was fired from his job two years back at Lahore’s Mayo Hospital, operated on a woman with the help of the hospital’s operation theater attendant.
Mayo Hospital MS Dr. Iftikha informed ARY News that on May 17 the woman was brought to the surgical emergency room of the hospital for treatment of boils.
He said that the security guard while pretending to be a doctor convinced family members of a patient for operation and performed the wrong surgery just for the greed of money. The security guard also kept bandaging the patient at home for two days.
