Of the 55 people operated upon July 29, 25 said they had lost their sight.

This is very sad because people need to be held accountable for their actions. This hospital needs to compensate these people for their negligence.

Media will take up the story and it will be in the news for a number of days. Concerned groups will urge the government to look into it. Congress may start an investigation in aid of legislation. But after a while, after the news has ran its course as a seven days wonder, the matter will be forgotten except by those directly affected.

I can understand the agony of those, who lost their sight. It is really a very pathetic state of affairs and the same needs to be highlighted in media etc. so that mis-deeds of the Doctors could be highlighted and many prospective patient could save themselves from the so called eye-camps.

Hi bala..am not sure what my reaction would be in that sort of situation but I dont like violence so would probably hide if there was any around me lol littleowl

you are just looking at one side of the story. just wait to criticize people. never ever praise their good work. the docs number of successful surgeries never receive any applause. only the wrong receives disgrace. to err is human. why always take up the cudgel?? why not shower flowers at times???

hi balasri! this is a very alarming news. especially to someone like me who uses contact lenses. I used glasses before but due to my sisters wedding i need to use contact lenses, as to look good in the video and in my pictures.. haha` how vain could i be. anyway about your question, i think if ever this would happen. a great uproar would happen. everyone would start pinpointing each other. starting from the people involve until it would reach even the president of our country. I dont know maybe this is really the trend, people keep on blaming others even without realizing that they are as guilty as anyone else. But i am really assured that someone would dig in into this issue until the guilty party has been pinpointed along with the people involve. Which are mostly politicians. who are so eaten up by the power of money, so they sacrifice their principle and other people's just to fulfill their means. But even if this is the case, it is not always an assurance that something is done with this problem, but at least we are comforted by the fact that people would care enough to look into your case.

If this happened in North America, the hospital would probably have to close down, because everyone who went blind, would be suing them for millions and millions of dollars. I coudln't imagine this ever happening in North America, because they know the consequences, and they would not be pretty. The people who have lost their site are all in my prayers.

hi Bala neenga tamila? So sad these things only happens in our country and i really don't have words i don't know why the heck they have conducted a camp if they would have left the patients they might have survived with poor sight but now they have lost their sight.. which part did this happen exactly ? I will definitely move further to operate or to help those patients to regain their sight or pay the penalty to help their family

Wow... your culture has quite a different way of punishing that hospital... and i think that is good in a way... because for sure others will not do the same thing... in my country... if such a thing happens... the media will have a field day about it... and it will be all over the news... and that is the time when government officials will step in... They will conduct a lot of investigations... and when another hot news appears... nothing will be heard from it again... which i think is just sad...
