The patient’s confusion perplexed both the hospital and the court, leaving them unsure of the problem.

New Delhi Hospital Confused by Unaccompanied Patient

In a strange case that has puzzled both the hospital and the court, a patient at Moolchand Hospital in New Delhi has been admitted for the past 6 years without any family member or guardian present. The patient, identified as 84-year-old gynecologist Dr. Sundari Ji Bhagwanani, suffers from advanced stage Alzheimer’s and is unable to provide information about her relatives or financial support.

The hospital bills for Dr. Bhagwanani’s treatment have been accumulating, leading to a petition filed by her brother in the Delhi High Court. The court attempted to find a resolution that balanced humanity and financial responsibility, but the hospital has raised objections. They argue that the suggested course of action will result in further losses for them.

Dr. Bhagwanani’s case is complex, with many unanswered questions. It is unclear how she traveled from the United States to India and under what circumstances she ended up in the hospital. The whereabouts of her relatives and whether they are actively searching for her also remain unknown.

Financial Responsibility Falls on Deceased Brother

In 2019, Dr. Bhagwanani’s brother, Mohan, who lived in Canada, was responsible for her expenses and care. However, he also succumbed to COVID-19 in 2021. Before his death, Mohan had approached the Delhi High Court, seeking access to his sister’s account to continue her treatment. He revealed that he had already paid Rs 50 lakh to Moolchand Hospital for her medical expenses. Mohan explained that he was struggling with limited resources as an elderly person and requested the court to appoint him as his sister’s guardian. Unfortunately, Mohan passed away before the court could make a decision.

In Conclusion

The case of Dr. Sundari Ji Bhagwanani continues to raise questions about her condition, her journey to India, and the responsibility of her medical expenses. The hospital and the court are grappling with finding a solution that balances compassion and financial viability. As the situation unfolds, the fate of Dr. Bhagwanani and the resolution of her medical bills remain uncertain.
