Doctor Removed After Using Bicycle Pump on Patient

A doctor in Odisha State, India, used a bicycle pump to inflate a woman's abdomens during surgery. With disgusted comments, and worried health officials, there has been a launch on an investigation. 
Last Friday, reportedly, a 56-year-old woman was undergoing sterilization surgery at a government-run community health center. The doctor operating on her though used an unsanitary bicycle pump for inflation of her abdomens. Dr. Mahesh Chandra Rout, who is a retired surgeon, has been carrying out required surgeries for the clinic for the past years. The proper equipment that should have been used during this specific operation is a carbon dioxide insufflator. This allows a doctor to measure the amount of pressure that is required on a person's abdomen to prevent it from bursting. Allegedly, Health Officials have searched and searched for this insufflator and it is missing.

This is not uncommonly seen in India, last month, a surgeon was arrested for homicide. He was connected to the death of dozens of women who had undergone sterilization operations improperly.
