Family sources said that Mohammad Shaim, son of Shakir and Sajara couple, fell from the staircase at his home in Jokatte, here, while playing. The child suffered severe head injury.

It is learnt that when the grandfather of Shaim rushed him to a private hospital in Mangaluru, the latter was in a semi conscious state.

The doctors at the hospital reportedly had informed the family members that the child was not responding to any treatment. In the afternoon the child breathed its last.

On hearing the tragic news, the child's father, who works in a gulf country, flew back home.

Meanwhile, a few relatives of the child resorted to protest accusing the hospital of demanding “unnecessary fees”, a charge rubbished by the hospital management. However, the issue was resolved soon and the dead boy was handed over to the family members.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajioon. Sad incident. May Allah give sabr to the childs family
However, Its not respectful to resort to such things. If u find something unnecessary u can request the billing to explain.
The public as a whole must understand this. Quite often we complaint that hospitals and doctors do day light robbery from the patients. But we dont understand a doctors day and night hardships and a businessmans initial risk in running and maintaining a hospital with the best quality.
Its like buying an audi car first and then complainting about the high maintenance costs.
