Down with Shreya Pathare.

We've just been informed by the health ministry that for the investigation of

the Sitlapur incident, the government will have a probe committee.

They will inspect everything

and give their respective opinion. Whoever is found guilty,

will be severely punished by the government.

The Health Minister himself has promised that to the public.

The probe will start tomorrow morning. This is the election year.

Hence it's obvious that the matter will be politicized.

They will try and find out a culprit.

We have documented your statements.

Just go through it and please sign it.

If we are lucky,

probe will be inconclusive.

But Sir, how can we ignore the symptoms?

How can we just call it as 'inconclusive'?

What do you mean?

We need to check all the processes. We can't just

-overlook them. -Which process are you talking about?

Are you talking about surgical procedures?

-Sir you... -I have done more than 50,000 surgeries.

-Not a single problem!-Dr. Pednekar.

No one is blaming you. Just relax.

Ma'am,

-it could be the supplies, too. -What about sanitisation?

You think your team worked thoroughly?

Yes Sir.

Proof?

If all of you have completed the discussion

then kindly sign the testimony.

-But Sir...? -Shreya

try and understand it is for the benefit of all of us.

Have the swab reports arrived?

It will arrive by tonight.

Good.

All of you kindly match your testimonies.

Hopefully we won't let each other down.

Thank you.

If everyone could, then why can't you?

Just because everyone is signing that doesn't mean even I ought to.

Shreya, why are you over thinking?

If Gopal Sir is doing it then what can we do?

This way no one will get into trouble.

What about the patients?

Have you'll read this? No one is willing to take the responsibility.

So that means no one will be accountable for it?

But who do you want to hold accountable for this?

Say?

Who do you want to hold accountable for this?

See,

there were no issues in the procedures of Dr. Pednekar.

I know about my team. Nothing was wrong there.

You were handling the supplies right?

Where did those medicines come from?

-Why don't we get a list of that. -What will you do with it?

We can do something, right?

If those medicines are available here, then we can send them for tests.

Look Shreya, getting a list is of no use.

So, stop your madness.

What's madness in this, Ankit?

-There is a possibility Ankit. -What possibility?!

If you had got the OT register along with you

then we wouldn't have had to see this day.

Shreya all this is your mess.

And everyone is busy cleaning it.

So please stop thinking further and sign this quietly.

Look dear, I'm finding all of this very risky.

If anyone asks you regarding anything, tell them that you don't know.

Do one thing. Take a leave and come back home. That's it.

This is my work dad, I can't just leave it and come.

Are you sure it's not your fault?

I'll call you later dad. Okay?

Shreya...

I am really sorry to say that

in the Cataract camp held,

some people had to lose their vision.

For the investigation of this incident

the government is going to arrange a committee tomorrow

and the people responsible for the fiasco will be punished duly.

Leaders are thieves! Doctors are thieves!

Down with Shreya Pathare.

Nothing happens due to saline.

So many doctors in my area

use saline that are as old as six months.

Ours was just two months old. Nothing happens due to saline.

Nothing happens due to saline.

What if something did happen?

Narayandada...

Everything will be fine. Don't worry.

Sir, the reports have come.

You were right. The complications of the patients here

matches with that of the camp patients' fungal stain.

What about the other?

-Thank you. -Welcome.

Who did you ask before supplying the saline?

Did you ask me before sending it?

Idiot, who do you work for?!

There isn't any proof Sir.

Whatever medicines I'd supplied to the village,

the villagers have destroyed all.

When nothing is left then where is the problem?

The probe is going to start tomorrow morning, Ishwar.

If something gets revealed there, you know who will go behind bars.

Yes?

If something gets revealed there, you know who will go behind bars Ishwar right?

I'm asking you something.

Why are you looking at me like this?

If the strike wouldn't have happened

then the medicines wouldn't have crossed their expiry dates.

What did you say?

Why should I go behind bars alone.

This company belongs to all.

Hey!!!

Hello!

Shreya, come.

What happened?

They were here just two days ago.

Means?

There isn't even a checkout entry.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

The rack number is same. Check.

-Give me the list. -Why?

I need to inform Gopal Sir right?

Shreya you will get us into trouble.

Nothing will happen Ankit.

Please.

Thank you very much Sir. I will owe you one.

Excuse me Sir?

Sir, all the camp supplies came from Guarantee medical.

And medicines of the same batch was

here in DHC which has been removed two days ago.

How did you get to know about the supplies?

-That doesn't matter Sir but... -Sit.

I have removed the supplies.

The reports of the supplies are clear.

But this is from a private lab Sir.

There can be mistakes in this. We have to get it tested by a centralised lab.

I trust this lab.

-But Sir... -Shreya

there are no errors in the procedures of Dr. Pednekar.

Supplies have been cleared. The reports are here too.

Now the only thing which remains without supporting documentation is

sanitisation.

And you are handling it.

Just imagine, if this very report reaches the probing committee

then what can happen.

But Sir, supplies are the evidence.

And we need to give all the evidence

-to the probe, then after that whatever... -Shreya.

Your entire team can be suspended along with you.

And I need to think about them as well.

You are yet to sign on this statement.

I can't sign this Sir.

I'm sorry.

Shreya I'm trying to protect you.

And please allow me to do so.

I don't need your protection Sir.

People have lost their eyesight.

What is important now is that we find out how

and why this happened.

Ishwar?

Your medicine was in DHC.

-No Sir. -Reports have come in.

It says that the infection was caused by your saline supplies.

It was our good fortune that Patwardhan removed it in time.

But ofcourse he will,

He has been on our payroll for the last 15 years

I'm not going to tolerate any more mistakes committed by the two of you.

Ishwar do have anymore medicines left?

No Sir. I swear on my mother.

Think carefully and tell me.

Ma'am?

How are you?

There is nothing new about these situations, and political pressure.

Just, take it as an experience.

Things will be sorted soon. Everything will be fine.

Whatever Sir is saying is wrong. How can we remove evidences just like that?

From the camp supplies,

-we can get fungal stain. -And what if we don't get?

The reputation of all the doctors will be ruined.

No one will trust us anymore.

It is much more complicated than that, Shreya.

Gopal is doing all this so that nobody blamed.

-Ma'am, but this is illegal. -Legal, illegal... all these are...

matters that belong in court.

Court's verdict doesn't make a dead person alive.

Understand the difference between duty and responsibility.

What you are doing is just a duty.

Ma'am, you of all people can not say this.

Even you had once bought the medicines illegally, when there was a shortage.

Should we go to the court for that?

We have all the receipts with us.

Sign it.

Thank you.

Patient's files and supplies are missing from the rural hospital. Right?

Yes, Sir.

But Sir, we have submitted the testimonies of all our doctors.

You call this testimony? These are photocopies.

Sir... even this is the truth.

CHC's O.T was not functional since last year.

And you did the procedures over there?

-We made the O.T functional, Sir. -Oh!

So how can we have a camp there without that?

-Dr. Pednekar had approved it. -And supplies?

I believe supplies were delivered two days before.

A doctor of your seniority, must know that

it takes more than two days to check supplies.

I agree. But, ma'am...

You do know the supply process in the rural areas.

Even after so many obstacles, the way our team has worked is praiseworthy.

Nobody could have done a better job under the given circumstances.

You could have postponed the camp.

-Exactly. -Why didn't you?

What were the reasons?

Who was organising the camp?

Dr. Shreya Pathare. Is that you?

Have you completed your training?

You have no experience and

-you've gone to organise a camp? -Sir let me explain.

Let me talk to her.

Are you aware of the process? What is the process?

You have just read it in a book and...

Dr. Patwardhan, how could you send such kind of people?

Did you really want to organise a camp or...

did you just want to get a rural services certificate by going to a village?

Just look at the generation?

There is nothing like that sir

How can you say like that?

The camp was possible only because of Shreya.

Who are you? Stand up and say. As what are you working in the camp?

Nurse.

-Say it louder. -Nurse.

You are a nurse. What do you do in the hospital? How did the patients come?

-How were they mobilised? Cleanliness? -Sir, we got them from the village.

-Sir, I'll tell. -I am still talking, doctor.

What were the provisions for the stay? Do you guys even work or

just take salary from the government to clean someone else's mess?

Now, let us work. Sit down.

-Sit. -Please, sit down.

Please wait for some time. We’ll be back.

We have been waiting here for three and a half hours and the probe has still not reached a conclusion.

They are having some discussions and criticizing.

The fate of the patients has been decided, but the fate of the doctors will be decided today.

Elections are in a month’s time

and the Health ministry is depirate to get a resolution to this mishap.

Doctors are thieves. Leaders are thieves.

Down with Shreya Pathare.

Doctors are thieves. Leaders are thieves.

Unfortunately, due to lack of evidence...

We are forced to say that this probe... is inconclusive.

Finally, we are safe.

Got saved.

-Thank you. Thank you so much. -Thank you, Sir.

-Thank you, Sir. -Thank you, Sir.

Madam!

And you know that, in the rural areas...

And you all know it. Our team has worked so hard together.

-Sir, I want to change my statement. -What are you saying? Sit down.

What are you saying? Sit down.

-Please, sit down. -Sorry...

You want to change your statement?

All the requirements needed for the cataract camp, were supplied from DHC.

Shreya, please sit down. Think before you say anything

-You are going on record -Please, let her speak.

If there will be an investigation on field,

then, there is a chance of getting the evidences.

This is absolutely wrong.

-I think... -Wait.

There could be a problem with the supplies.

This is not possible.

-Just a second. -We have done all the investigations.

Dr. Patwardhan...

One minute, one minute... Please.

Did you write this in your statement?

-No, ma'am. -That's it.

-This is the truth. In the statement... -Let her speak.

We simply signed the statements given to us and gave it back.

Doctor Shreya, I think, you are crossing your limits.

This is absolutely wrong.

-One minute... please. -Ma'am, they are juniors.

-Let her talk. -She is a junior, Sir.

-Just a minute. -So what?

-Say. -Please, say it.

This is absolutely wrong.

-And... -Just a minute. Listen.

-This is a stock list. -Show it to me.

-Dr. Patwardhan. -This is a stock list.

This has all the check-in entries. But, there is no entry of check-out.

You can even check the batch numbers.

-Sir, sir...

Sir, you cannot believe on the basis of such documents.

Please, Sir. Please try to understand.

Will you believe anybody who gives you the documents?

One minute, please.

Is this from your hospital?

-Dr. Patwardhan, is this true? -No.

Yes, Ma'am.

-What are you saying? Sit down. -Dr. Patwardhan, please cooperate.

Say.

Sir...

The were here but arn't here anymore.

No, Sir. This is wrong. They are completely wrong. This is incorrect information, Sir.

Sir, they are juniors. They are not able to handle the pressure.

You. Why are you not saying that, the supplies which came from DHC...

-Dr. Shreya... -Gopal No, Madam, let me speak.

-No Gopal wait -The probe committee is here.

-Dr. please wait! -Please, let the truth come out. I request you. Allow me to speak.

Tell me. Did you not purchase from the black market?

Doctor Shreya, please tell everyone, that you

purchased the medicines from the black market. Say it.

Dr. Patwardhan, what are you saying?

I have the evidence, Sir.

I request you. Whatever Dr. Shreya is saying please don't trust her.

Doctor Shreya, what is this?

And is this your signature?

Yes, Sir.

See. I told you.

You did this all on your own? Was anyone else involved with you?

No, Ma'am. I was alone.

Doctor Shreya, I hope you realise...

That this is punishable by law. You will be charged with criminal case.

I understand, ma'am.

And I am ready to bear the consequences. But, ma'am...

This has nothing to do with the cataract camp.

How is it possible, nothing to do with the cataract camp?

It is directly concerned with the cataract camp. How is it possible, nothing to do with the cataract camp?

It is directly concerned with the cataract camp.

-Doctor -One minute.

Where are the supplies now?

Doctor Shreya, despite having the list.

But, if we don't find the supplies, we will not be able to do anything.

Sir...

Yes, yes. Stand up. Say what you want to say.

Now, what you want to say?

Dr. Patwardhan, let him speak. Yes.

Say.

Sir, I know where to find the supplies.

In an unexpected twist of the cataract camp story Shreya Pathare has been held resposible for the blinding

Shreya Pathare has been captured for dealing with the black market.

We are awating more facts in the Sitlapur blindness case.

This is the 7th cataract camp where people have gone blind.

There have been 6 more instances where people have lost their eyesight.

A lot of people have lost their eye sight, at some places there are 2 people, at some places there are 50.

Sir Sir would you like to say anything?

Why are you getting arrested?

Sir, what has happened to the Sitlapur camp?

Sir any comment sir.

Down with Shreya Pathare

Doctor Shreya Pathare, the doctor who was responsible for organising the catarat camp at Sitlapur has just been arrested…

Dr. Shreya Pathare and her compounder Bhola have been arrested outisde the DHC.

It has come to notice that they were dealing with black market

Dr. Shreya Pathare’s arrest raises a thousand question about the medical profession and the blind faith people put in the doctors

Why is such a simple operation creating so many issues in India?

Health minister has announced that,

the saline bottles of Guarantee medical supplies...

the fungal strains found in the medical reports

are matching the fungal strains found in the eyes of the patients.

I... Dr. Gopal Patwardhan...

am resigning from the post of Chief Medical Officer.

Untill, there is no new appointment for this post,

Till then, Dr. Madhavi Joshi, is going to take hold of this post.

To stop such incidents in future, we have given

the tender to Pixomed for the entire state.

From now, only Pixomed will be incharge of dispatching and supplying medicines.

Look, before every elections, there is a conspiracy by the administration.

There is no involvement between us and Guarantee medical supplies. Thank you.

Recent developments force us to ask whether punishing one individual is enough

When Dr. Shreya Pathare’s arrest has opend up a labyrinth of corruption

that runs endlessly across party lines and professions.

The politions own the suppliers, the suppliers own the doctors and the patients own nothing.
